How to in Qt *.Pro-file disable: warning: C4996: 'sscanf': This function or variable may be unsafe. Consider using sscanf_s instead. To disable deprecation, use _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS. See online help for details.

Got a compiler error when using sscanf in QT Creator:
warning: C4996: 'sscanf': This function or variable may be unsafe. Consider using sscanf_s instead. To disable deprecation, use _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS. See online help for details.

To make sure other warnings wont't disappear in the spam like messages caused by the c++ compiler, we wanted to disable the warning.

Tried to do add this at the top of the main.cpp file but got the same error:
#define _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS

Adding this in the *.PRO file did the trick:

#Removes: warning: C4996: 'sscanf': This function or variable may be unsafe. Consider using sscanf_s instead. To disable deprecation, use _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS. See online help for details.

win32:{

    DEFINES +=  _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS
