how to link Skill and GUI c++ (Qt5)

Hoangkhoipcb

Hi guys!

Have a nice day!
I'm building a programming skill.

Features:

  • Launch a .exe file using the ipcBeginProcess() API.

.exe file app.cpp

#include <QApplication>
#include <QMessageBox>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);

QMessageBox::information(nullptr, "GUI from C++", "This is a GUI created with Qt!");

return app.exec();
}

il file test.il

cid = ipcBeginProcess("app.exe")

I've successfully built the app.cpp file, then loaded the .il file, but the result did not work.

Please help me.

Thank you.

    Hi Hoangkoi,

    When you say that the result "did not work",can you be more specific? What did you get?

    The .il file looks correct ... as long as your app.exe is accessible (which means that app.exe must be in the same directory as the database from which you're executing the ipcBeginProcess command or app.exe is located in any of the filepaths listed in your Path OS environment variable. 

    I guess it goes without saying but ... does app.exe work by itself? can you execute it from CMD and it runs correctly?

    Hi JuanCR

    Thank for responding.
    This is the shown directory.
    DirWork
    |
    |__*.brd
    |
    |__test.il
    |
    |__*.dll
    |
    |__app.exe

    i've run skill system("app.exe")-> it work me.

    I believe it's okay. After loading the skill in the window command line, I did not encounter any errors. However, I detected that the process 'app.exe' is running on my computer.

    Besides, link Skill and GUI python. it seems work well. 

    Finally, I would like to note that I am currently using the Allegro PCB editor and unfortunately.

    Best reguards,

    HoangKhoi.
