Beginners mistake. By "calling" I mean executing one of the classes methods. Is that the terminology?
I used the debugger as you suggeted. On the line that executes the QMessagebox. I step into and it opens <qstring.h> and a yellow arrow is on a line of code like this.
#if !defined(QT_NO_CAST_FROM_ASCII) && !defined(QT_RESTRICTED_CAST_FROM_ASCII)
inline QT_ASCII_CAST_WARN QString(const char *ch)
: d(fromAscii_helper(ch, ch ? int(strlen(ch)) : -1))
{}
the debugger shows a message stopped "end stepping range". So that didn't help much. Do you have any more suggestions? Thanks for the help thus far.
