Debug Widget Qt

[sblancha]

I am afraid I could not help you more, on windows OS I am using Visual Studio that for me is much more convenient than Qt Creator for debugging purpose.

Hey! were you able to use the debugger for EWO.
If yes, how ?
How did you ensure your dll(ewo) is called when debugging.

Thanks!

The "attach to process" method described by Martin Koller works fine.
You have to copy your compiled libraries/EWOs to your WCCOA project directory\\bin

... and don't forget to copy the .debug/.pdb files to bin as well.

Hey,

I am not able to to debug my EWO.

I copied the debug builds amd .pdb file to C:\\Siemens\\Automation\\WinCC_OA\\3.15\\bin\\widgets\\windows-64\\ folder and also too my project/bin folder.

Problem : I get unable to load EWO when I draw this debug EWO to a panel.

I intend to start this panel through UI manager and attach my debugger to it.

Please advice.

Thanks,
Kshitij

This is useless
> copy my project/bin folder
This is Ok

Before copy you have to close all the ui and ctrl manager using bin libs, otherwise the ui you launch for debug will not reload the libs

in addition for windows OS you have to check yourProj\\bin is in the environment variable PATH.

This sound like a missing library issue as mentioned in the topics:

I am able to load release verion of my EWO. The problem is when I try to load debug build. Do I need separate debug libs of dependencies as well ?

[Gertjan van Schijndel]

If your debug build compiles against debug version of libraries, then you also need the debug libraries.
But you could instead activate the debug generation of your release version and debug that version.
