[Qt-interest] moc .cpp file in visual studio

[Linda Maria]

Thanks a lot all

This is basically what I have been doing. That is, to create custom build to
moc my .h files that include Q_OBJECT class declarations. However, I dont
know how to handle .cpp files that include private Q_OBJECT class
declarations. These files need to be moc-ed (to create .moc files) and
compiled with C/C++ Compiler Tool. Does visual studio support this?

Thanks,
Linda

VS 2008 Express doesn't support plug-ins either.

They still do exist in parallel.  The Add On is the one freely available;
the VS Integration is the commercial-only one.  The latest Add On has
knowledge of .ui files and will launch the external Qt Designer when
double-clicked.  I don't think there is any real benefit of the VS
Integration one any longer, and the download page for the Add-on states it
is meant to be used for both (L)GPL AND Commercial.

The Add-On adds a Qt menu to VS, and one of the items is Open .PRO file (or
something similar to that).  I believe that does the equivalent of
"qmake -t".


Thanks,
