error: expected unqualified-id before numeric constant

[marcel]

And are you positive that the error is from that line, where you create the QKeyEvent?

And what about this?

QKeyEvent *e=new QKeyEvent(QEvent::KeyPress,65,Qt::NoModifier,QStri  ng("> "));

QKeyEvent *e=new QKeyEvent(QEvent::KeyPress,65,Qt::NoModifier,QStri  ng("> "));

There is still a space in the middle of QString.
Jpn also asked this, and now you have the same error? How is this a copy-paste error?

I still cannot spot the error.
Does it compile if you remove that line?

Apart from the problem you have, this is not correct:

QKeyEvent *e=new QKeyEvent(QEvent::KeyPress,65,Qt::NoModifier,QStri  ng("> "));
	keyPressEvent(e);

QKeyEvent *e=new QKeyEvent(QEvent::KeyPress,65,Qt::NoModifier,QStri  ng("> "));
	keyPressEvent(e);

keyPressEvent is not meant to be called like that.
Use qApp->postEvent instead.

Hi Marcel,
Could you get some clue? I have traced that due to QEvent::KeyPress, the error is coming, Compiler is unable to recognize the the keyword.

[marcel]

Could you post the include section from that file?
All the includes.

Hi,

I'm using Qt4.1, and I had the same problem and I have resolved it with an include and a replacement :
#include <QKeyEvent> //that's very important
(QEvent::Type)6 instead of QEvent::KeyPress

example :
KeyEvent* kevent = new QKeyEvent((QEvent::Type)6,buffer[0],(Qt::KeyboardModifiers)Qt::NoModifier,buffer,fals e,1);

I hope it will help someone.

You sure don't have to use such ugly C-style casts when you have the necessary include directive in place.

#include <QKeyEvent>
...
QKeyEvent* kevent = new QKeyEvent(QEvent::KeyPress,buffer[0],Qt::NoModifier,buffer,false,1);

#include <QKeyEvent>
...
QKeyEvent* kevent = new QKeyEvent(QEvent::KeyPress,buffer[0],Qt::NoModifier,buffer,false,1);

I don't understand why you don't use enum Qt::Key for second parameter in QKeyEvent ctor?

[shammi]

The problem is likely that you are including X.h which has

// X.11.h
...
...
#define KeyPress 2

// X.11.h
...
...
#define KeyPress 2

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

So the preprocessor is converting this to...

QKeyEvent* kevent = new QKeyEvent(QEvent::2,buffer[0],Qt::NoModifier,buffer,false,1);

QKeyEvent* kevent = new QKeyEvent(QEvent::2,buffer[0],Qt::NoModifier,buffer,false,1);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Try adding

#undef KeyPress  // safe as long as you are not referencing KeyPress from X.h after this line
QKeyEvent* kevent = new QKeyEvent(QEvent::KeyPress,buffer[0],Qt::NoModifier,buffer,false,1);

#undef KeyPress  // safe as long as you are not referencing KeyPress from X.h after this line
QKeyEvent* kevent = new QKeyEvent(QEvent::KeyPress,buffer[0],Qt::NoModifier,buffer,false,1);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

i.e. assuming that further down you won't be referring to KeyPress from X.h
