Duh!   :-[   I use that "if (boolvar) {"  syntax 23 times in the code
that snippet was taken from, which is a 5005 line app.  I was so fixated
on Qt-Create's message ....  what can I say?...  I look stupid enough
already...  :-[

BTW, while attempting to look for " == true" or "= true" in the code I
found no way of setting a search string.  Just highlighting it and
trying F3 doesn't work.  ???  No text box is presented to allow one to
enter what the search function is to look for.

Thanks!   I wasn't aware of that syntax.   C++ was the last language I
learned, three years ago, when I was 64, but if it wasn't for Qt4 I
doubt I would have been good enough to use it before I retired 4 months
ago.    Qt-Create is a wonderful tool and I made my replacement at work
aware of it.  In my opinion it is good enough to replace Visual Studio,
which is what I used on Windows.  On Linux I used Kate, but now, for my
personal projects, Qt-Create will be my tool of choice.


why does Qt-Create uses the proprietary Perforce  revision control?  Is 
it a GPL version?   Would it be possible to encorporate Baazar (bzr) in 
the menu structure?

Thanks for the gentle reply, Bjørn!
