[Qt-creator] Determine if started through Qt Creator

[Walter Stefan]

Thanks, but is there not a more generic way. I don't want to set this in every single project.

Regards,
Stefan

In the project settings, you can modify the environment. Choose the "run" configuration, and just add an environment variable. Name it whatever you want, like IN_QTCREATOR.

In your program, just use:

   qEnvironmentVariableIsSet("IN_QTCREATOR");

(http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtglobal.html#qEnvironmentVariableIsSet)

to detect if the variable is set. Obviously, it only going to be set if you run the program in Creator.
