finding structure definition in qt creator

Question

I'm trying to understand how one large programs work, and I coudn't think of anything better than running it in qt creator line by line.

I found the main function, now I'm trying to find a definition of one structure. I'm ctrl+clicking it, then it shows me the following:

struct TheName;
typedef struct TheName TheName;

Now how to find a real definition? I'm expecting someone to say "grep".

Answer 1

It looks like it took you to the header file in which the object, TheName, is declared. If you have access to the source code within your project you can press F4 to "Switch Header/Source". This can also be accessed directly by right clicking on the object name, TheName.
