GUI procedure which does not freeze command line. Is this possible?

[Harvey West]

Hello

How go I create a qt gui for windows which does not freeze up the command promt.

i.e.
from command shell I type c:\MyQTApp.exe

this launches my gui but my command line window is frozen until i close
MyQTApp.exe.

I've tried tweaking prog file with CONFIG =+ console
looked at QProcess but thats refering to how other apps are spawned from within MyQTApp.exe

looked at cmd /c c:\MyQTApp.exe but no luck yet.

Any ideas?

I have a Qt based GUI application. When I launch it from the command prompt, it does not freeze the command prompt

This is what I got

E:\MyApplication>myapp (press enter)

myapp launches

Command Prompt shows

E:\MyApplication>

Probably, I did not understand what you meant

Yep thats what I ment humm...

Are you using qmake to setup the .vcproj file

Here my .prog and main loop does that look similar to your setup?

QApplication app(argc, argv);
Toolbar *toolbar = new Toolbar;
toolbar->show();
return app.exec();
}

Yes.

Try this

#include <QApplication>
#include "toolbar.h"
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);
Toolbar toolbar;
toolbar.show();
return app.exec();
}

#include <QApplication>
#include "toolbar.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);
Toolbar toolbar;
toolbar.show();
return app.exec();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Another difference that I noticed was

TEMPLATE = app

TEMPLATE = app

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

But I don't think that should be the problem.

Edited the QTCode, that seems to do the trick. Cheers.

Any ideas why?
