    @sierdzio, false alarm!

    After reopening my project everything got built and no file existance errors were present. Your hint about adding QCoreApplication really helped!

    The code answers there all implement sending Qt error messages within an application to a file. Perfectly useful in itself, but nothing to do with the topic title here of "How to redirect stdout & stderr to a file in a Qt console App (QCoreApplication)".

    For non Qt code I am trying to call Qcoreapplication with help of another thread.

    Here the code:
    ApplicationThread.h

    #pragma once #include <qthread.h> #include "squidstat_dll_global.h" #include <iostream> class SQUIDSTAT_DLLSHARED_EXPORT ApplicationThread:public QThread { void run(); }; class SQUIDSTAT_DLLSHARED_EXPORT ApplicationStarter : public QObject { Q_OBJECT public: ApplicationStarter(); ~ApplicationStarter(); public slots: void onStarted(); };

    ApplicationThread.cpp

    #include "ApplicationThread.h" #include "MainWindow.h" #include "qcoreapplication.h" namespace ToolThreadGlobal { static int argc = 1; static char* argv[] = { QString("SquidState.exe").toLocal8Bit().data(),NULL}; static QCoreApplication *coreApp = nullptr; static ApplicationThread *toolThread = nullptr; }; void ApplicationThread::run() { if (ToolThreadGlobal::coreApp){ std::cout << "\nApplicationThread: thread run method is call"; ToolThreadGlobal::coreApp->exec(); } } ApplicationStarter::ApplicationStarter() { if (ToolThreadGlobal::toolThread == nullptr) { std::cout << "\nApplicationstarter Constructor call"; ToolThreadGlobal::toolThread = new ApplicationThread(); connect(ToolThreadGlobal::toolThread, &ApplicationThread::started, this, &ApplicationStarter::onStarted, Qt::DirectConnection); ToolThreadGlobal::toolThread->start(); } } ApplicationStarter::~ApplicationStarter() { std::cout << "\nApplicationStarter:: destructor is called"; // Ensure that the thread and the QCoreApplication are cleanly shut down: ToolThreadGlobal::toolThread->quit(); ToolThreadGlobal::coreApp->quit(); ToolThreadGlobal::coreApp->deleteLater(); ToolThreadGlobal::coreApp = nullptr; ToolThreadGlobal::toolThread->terminate(); ToolThreadGlobal::toolThread->wait(); ToolThreadGlobal::toolThread->deleteLater(); ToolThreadGlobal::toolThread = nullptr; } void ApplicationStarter::onStarted() { std::cout << "\nApplicationStarter::signal received"; if (QCoreApplication::instance() == NULL) { std::cout << "\nApplicationStarter::call QcoreApplication"; ToolThreadGlobal::coreApp = new QCoreApplication(ToolThreadGlobal::argc, ToolThreadGlobal::argv); std::cout << "\nApplicationStarter::call worker"; MainWindow w; std::cout << "\nApplicationStarter::call before exe"; } }

    SquidState.h

    #pragma once #include "squidstat_dll_global.h" #include "ApplicationThread.h" #ifndef _SQUIDSTAT_H_ #define _SQUIDSTAT_H_ namespace AISquid { class SQUIDSTAT_DLLSHARED_EXPORT SquidStat { public: SquidStat(); ~SquidStat(); void startAPP(); void closeAPP(); }; } #endif // !_SQUIDSTAT_H_

    SquidState.cpp

    #include <stdlib.h> #include "SquidStat.h" #include "ApplicationThread.h" AISquid::SquidStat::SquidStat() { std::cout << "\nSquidStat: SquidStat class object is created"; }; AISquid::SquidStat::~SquidStat() { std::cout << "\nSquidStat: SquidStat class object is destriod "; }; void AISquid::SquidStat::startAPP() { }; void AISquid::SquidStat::closeAPP() { };

    Testing My dll with help of below code.

    tester.cpp

    #include "SquidStat.h" #include "ApplicationThread.h" void main(int argc, char *argv[]) { ApplicationStarter start; AISquid::SquidStat obj; obj.startAPP(); return; }

    OutPut of Tester:
    0_1554857416616_285cd514-f416-4d15-817b-51334702ce84-image.png

    What is wrong am I doing here? I am receiving call for slot onStarted(); once ApplicationStarter start; object is destroy.

    Any suggestion would be more appreciable.

    @Johnx8664 Learning Qt4 at this point would be a waste of your time. Like @SGaist said it's long past it's end of life. Qt5 is 12 major releases into it's life cycle now and 5 years old now.

    I would grab a book on Qt5, or I find it's pretty easy to learn Qt just from the docs that come with it. If you know C++ well (and you should if you are tackling Qt), then you should be fine learning from the Qt Assistant docs. There are a lot of examples and tutorials in there as well.

    @newbieQTDev said in Use a QDialog box in Win32 Application:

    This is the version of my QT.

    No this is the Qt version which was used to build QtCreator (which is a Qt app).
    You're using Qt 5.6.0
