Using gui objectNames when coding

[The physicist]

Classes aren't something I've used in my limited experience of C++, so I will go away and read up them now, cheers

Good idea, you'll be using them a lot in Qt programming

Just cracked it, thanks. I didn't realise that what I put in setText() has to be of type QString!

Another day, another problem!

When I try to access labels via ui->label_X, some of them aren't appearing. I entered the name manually, but when I compile, I get the error " 'class ui_guibrachy' has no member name 'label_X'

Have I turned something off that I don't know about

I tried adding a button to see if that showed up, which it didn't. Could it be that I designed the ui on Mac OS X and today I'm using windows?!

Thanks.

1. Open this file with designer and double-check the object's names.
2. Make sure you have saved changes.
3. Make sure that you compile correct .ui file ( check if its included in your .pro project file ) and include correct ui header in your sources.
4. Check for typos in source files.
5. Do a clean build ( make clean, qmake, make [debug/release] ) .

There is a big chance of success if you do all of this correctly

You mean that you've added a button via designer and it wont show up in you app ? If yes, then double-check 2) and 3)

1. Done
2. Done (closed and opened again to make sure they're there)
3. Done (all in the proj file)
4. Looks OK
5. Think I did this, Build->clean all

Any other ideas

look in ui_guibrachy.h see if you can spot your label object.
If not, then some or all of steps 1-3 you didn't do right.
