Handcoder's IDE for Qt

[Pepe]

I tested version 0.1.17. This version has fixed almost all problems: the class browser works, code completion works, even some kind of tooltip appears to reminds you the parameters of the function, which I find extremely useful.

Anyway there's still something that doesn't work: Build->Run. Even I have added C:\Qt\4.2.3\bin to the path nothing happens when I select that option. There's a message in the console saying that it's running the executable (the path that appears is right).

Pepe, I believe this is a subtle problem having to do with your program somehow seeing the 4.3.0 libraries instead of the 4.2.3 when it is launched from within HiQt.... (I assume the program works fine when you launch it from, say, windows explorer?) Can you please confirm whether this is the same behavior when you compile and run a simple Qt example program, say from the 4.2.3 examples?

I have an idea of how to fix, and I may just send you a patched version of 0.1.17 once you respond regarding above points.

BTW, so you saw the "qt_include_path" configuration parameter I assume?

Hang in, because next release will have option of QScintilla editor.

Cheers

Yes.

I think the problem could be related to paths with spaces.

I tried with one of the Qt examples (C:\Qt\4.2.3\examples\mainwindows\application) and Build->Run works. But if I copy it to C:\Documents and Settings\Pepe\My Documents (compile it again) then Build->Run does not work.

Yes.

So, if you move your non-qt-example program to a path without spaces does it run? If so, your problem is solved for now, - just don't develop within "documents and settings" and the like.

I will try to fix this problem for next release. Does anybody know the best way to use QProcess::start with a program with spaces in the path?

I changed line 957 in HiQtMainWindow.cpp:

process->start(targetpath);

process->start(targetpath);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

with

process->start("\""+targetpath+"\"");

process->start("\""+targetpath+"\"");

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and now it works.

Hello
First of all: Great work. Especially when in version 0.2.0 there will be line numbers etc...

But what I would like to suggest is one improvement/change concerning the code completion. Let's say there are two functions funcOne and funcTwo. Let's assume they are member functions of some class X and when I have an object obj of X and I write:

obj->funcO

obj->funcO

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

the right item funcOne is selected. So far so good.

Now it would be really nice if when I type 'funcO' and then '(' it would be the same as pressing enter, i.e. after the '(' the completion would insert:

obj->funcOne(

obj->funcOne(

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I hope this is possible, as it would imho improve the workflow.

Regards

Now it would be really nice if when I type 'funcO' and then '(' it would be the same as pressing enter, i.e. after the '(' the completion would insert:
[CODE]obj->funcOne([/CODE

I hope this is possible, as it would imho improve the workflow.

Actually, QTmplayer, that functionality was in the original versions, but I took it out for the following reason: Suppose the code completions was not 100% accurate, and it missed some funky function called , say "funcO" to go a along with your example. Then I would like to override the completion list and just type funcO(, but that of course would give the undesired result.

Nevertheless, it's easy enough to put in a check box in the preferences called "Complete code on open parenthesis". so I'll make a note to put it in for 0.2.0

HaiQ 0.2.0 for Windows released!

Lots of changes... hope you like it.
