1. You can concatenate strings. Like this:
#define BT_DATABASE_TEST "../../BT_DATABASE/BluetoothDatabase.txt"
const char *command = "bluetoothctl show | tee " BT_DATABASE_TEXT " | tee /tmp/temp";
2. Maybe something like this:
std::string var = "blah_blah.txt";
std::string command = std::string("bluetoothctl show | tee ") + var + std::string("" | tee /tmp/temp");
QP->start("/bin/sh", QStringList() << "-c" << command.c_str());

I can`t think of a way to store in an array objects of different type but with same base class so I`m going to use a STL container instead:
class somebaseclass
{
}
class derivedclass: private somebaseclass
{
}
class anotherderivedclass: private somebaseclass
{
}
vector<somebaseclass *> * AllObjects;
derivedclass * Derived1 = new derivedclass[1];
anotherderivedclass * Derived2 = new anotherderivedclass[1];
AllObjects->push_back((somebaseclass)Derived1);
AllObjects->push_back((somebaseclass)Derived2);
Is this how it should be done?

That works but the more modern (and safe) way to do it is to use unique_ptr instead of raw pointers. Something like this:
std::unique_ptr<Base> p1 = make_unique<Derived1>(args1);
std::unique_ptr<Base> p2 = make_unique<Derived2>(args2);
std::vector<std::uniqe_ptr<Base>> container;
container.push_back (p1);
container.push_back (p2);

Yes. If objects belong to different classes, the only way to store them in a container is to use pointers, because the container allocates the same amount of memory for each entry. If you also want the container to delete an entry when you erase it, declare it as, for example, vector<unique_ptr<T>>.

that is an interesting fact

Yes, except for:
1. Why are you using an array size reference in your instantiations? All you should need is:
derivedclass * Derived1 = new derivedclass();
2. Your container is defined to use somebaseclass * types, so your calls to push_back should be:
AllObject->push_back((somebaseclass*)Derived1);
or better still, using proper C++ casts:
AllObject->push_back(reinterpret_cast<somebaseclass*>(Derived1));

You are welcome. I also think @Mircea-Neacsu's advice about unique_ptr is well worth taking.

pointers from a library, that`s a topic that`s a bit too advanced or complicated for my present day understanding.
|

If you can handle raw pointers, then C++ smart pointers should be easy to understand. Google for C++ unique_pointer tutorial and read through a few of the returned hits. It's fairly straight forward, and in general new C++ development should use the smart pointers instead of using raw (e.g. new/delete).

The problem is I hate complicated syntax. Containers are already complicated syntax for me, combine that with another object (pointer) from a library and it becomes unintelligible mess. I will use a complicated feature when I really need to use it and there is no other way around it. Usually I need to use a feature a couple months before I can move on to something more complicated.

It's a lot simpler than classes and inheritance.

I guess converting the object(pointer) back to it`s original form when time comes to use it somewhere works the same
derivedclass * DerClpointer1 = (derivedclass *)AllObjects->at(0);
Is there a way to check is the conversion is valid? like if an object is of a certain type. For instance how do I convert all objects to their derived state type in a for loop?
for(int i =0; i< AllObjects->size();i++ )
{
}

Yes it should do, but you need to run some tests to make sure.

I`m trying to animate things in a basic window. The code I have should get a rectangle (rc) move to the right however that does not happen, it`s all static.
LRESULT CALLBACK WindowProc(HWND hwnd, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
static RECT rcBmp;
static HDC hdcCompat;
static HBITMAP hbmp;
static RECT rc;
static RECT rc2;
static RECT rc3;
static RECT rc4;
HBRUSH hbrWhite, hbrGray;
const COLORREF SomeColor = RGB(255,255,255);
const COLORREF SomeColor2 = RGB(0,0,1);
hbrWhite = CreateSolidBrush(SomeColor);
hbrGray = CreateSolidBrush(SomeColor2);
int y = 0;
HDC hdc = (HDC) wParam;
switch (uMsg)
{
case WM_CREATE:
return 0L;
case WM_ERASEBKGND:
GetClientRect(hwnd, &rc);
SetMapMode(hdc, MM_ANISOTROPIC);
SetWindowExtEx(hdc, 100, 100, NULL);
SetViewportExtEx(hdc, rc.right, rc.bottom, NULL);
FillRect(hdc, &rc, hbrWhite);
return 0;
case WM_DESTROY:
PostQuitMessage(0);
return 0;
case WM_PAINT:
{
PAINTSTRUCT ps;
HDC hdc = BeginPaint(hwnd, &ps);
SetRect(&rc,x, 20, 40, 40);
FillRect(hdc, &rc, hbrGray);
SetRect(&rc2,60, 60, 80, 80);
FillRect(hdc, &rc2, hbrGray);
EndPaint(hwnd, &ps);
}
return 0;
}
return DefWindowProc(hwnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam);
}
void GameUpdate()
{
x = x +1;
}
[Edit] it looks like WM_PAINT isn`t triggered every frame, only if I minimize and then maximize the window a change takes place

I think you need an "event"; like a timer tick; in order to create a "frame loop" (update and paint).
"Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

Windows is event-driven, it doesn't have regular animation frame updates.
You can use SetTimer() to get WM_TIMER messages as often as you want, then invalidate your window to get the WM_PAINT message and repaint.
GDI performance is not very good though, so to reduce flicker you'll probably want to draw to an offscreen compatible device context and then BitBlt() that to the screen. Or use Direct2D - but then you'll have a new problem to think about.
