You have several ways of dealing with that problem:

run your program with the Visual C++ IDE and step by step using Visual C++. This requires loading your program in VC++, converting the Qt project to an VC++ project, compiling and running/single stepping.
Display messages from your code using QMessageBox. Here is a simple illustration:

	#include <qmessagebox.h>
	#include <qstring.h>


	#define debug( a, b ) QMessageBox::information( 0, a, b, 0 )

	...
	void someFunction( int x ) {

		debug( "In someFunction", QString( "x = %1" ).arg( x ) );
	...
	}

Add a textEdit to your main widget, just for output purposes. Call it winCout for example. Then inside your code you can do things like
```
	winCout->append( "here we are" );
	x = x+3;
	winCout->append( QString( "x=%1" ).arg( x ) );
```

Have fun!

Hello, QT expert  Dominique :-)

Would you please give me some advice? Now that you converted me to a QT
fan, I am trying to design a module for csc112. And got stuck with a very
simple simple simple thing! How do I debug without the debugger? I want to
print messages on the console, just old simple plain cout statements.

I created a qt application under windows, and tried to use cout in C++
code to print stuff in the console window. I included <iostream.h> as
usually. But it doesn't seem to work. It compiles and links, but gives
some link warnings about some .dll files.  The executable runs, but
doesn't print anything. Maybe I need to set up some paths to find the i/o
modules?  Any advice?

Thanks, ILeana

It's not that bad! :-) Although I see from time to time snipets of programs showing people doing output to a console, but I have never found an easy way of doing it. Beowulf is all set for Qt. The process is as follows: designer qmake make and you have an application. Everything is set. Dominique Ileana Streinu wrote: >Thanks, Dominique.
