Is there any way to see printf when using VS2005 and Qt?

[ricardo]

Hi!

I'm using Qt 4.5, VS2005 and VS integration plugin. Is there any way to see what printf prints just for debug purposes? (or a similar method)

Thanks for help.

I do the following:

1. add this to my .pro file

CONFIG  +=  console

CONFIG  +=  console

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

after re-compiling your code, the app should open with a DOS console


2. use qDebug to send output to console

qDebug("show index:  %d", myIndexVal);
 
  //  or
 
  qDebug()  << "show index: " << myIndexVal;

qDebug("show index:  %d", myIndexVal);

  //  or

  qDebug()  << "show index: " << myIndexVal;

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Using the latter option: I think you have to #include <QDebug> (not sure, i rarely use it).

Thanks for reply.

I'm using Visual Studio and VS pluging and I don't see any .pro file.
(I'm a beginner)

Any idea?

Thanks.

Forget it!

qDebug sends the message to VS Debug Console. SO it is perfect for me. Thanks.

Anyway, if anyboy knows how to get a DOS console in my case, it would be nice. Just curiosity.

Thanks.
