Error: NED type 'myApp' could not be fully resolved due to a missing base type or interface? - omnet++

Question

In my project,
I implement a new class called myApp which inherits from ApplicationBase and UdpSocket classes. When I build my project I get no error, but when I debug C/C++ application with the IDE, it displays the first error in errors section. And the command line display the second error when I run make :
Code of myApp.ned, myApp.h and myApp.cc in what follows :
I did include inet library in project references, and I tried the solution posted in The following NED types could not be fully resolved, due to a missing base type or interface.
import inet.applications.contract.IApp;
simple myApp like IApp
{
parameters:
int localPort = default(-1); // local UDP port number (-1: use ephemeral port)
int destPort; // remote UDP port number
string packetName = default("myApp");
string interfaceTableModule; // The path to the InterfaceTable module
double helloInterval #unit(s) = default(5s); // how often hello messages should be sent out
volatile double sendInterval #unit(s); // should usually be a random value, e.g. exponential(1)
double startTime #unit(s) = default(this.sendInterval); // application start time (start of the first packet)
double stopTime #unit(s) = default(-1s); // time of finishing sending, -1s means forever
double maxVariance = default(1); // This is the maximum of a random value to determine when the first hello message will be sent out
volatile double broadcastDelay #unit(s) = default(uniform(0s,0.01s));
int timeToLive = default(-1); // if not -1, set the TTL (IPv4) or Hop Limit (IPv6) field of sent packets to this value
bool dontFragment = default(false); // if true, asks IP to not fragment the message during routing
int typeOfService = default(-1); // if not -1, set the ToS (IPv4) or Traffic Class (IPv6) field of sent packets to this value
string multicastInterface = default(""); // if not empty, set the multicast output interface option on the socket (interface name expected)
bool receiveBroadcast = default(false); // if true, makes the socket receive broadcast packets
bool joinLocalMulticastGroups = default(false); // if true, makes the socket receive packets from all multicast groups set on local interfaces
#class(myApp);
gates:
input socketIn #labels(UdpControlInfo/up);
output socketOut #labels(UdpControlInfo/down);

Answer 1

I did solve the problem by adding all ned files in my .ini file.
ned-path = .;../inet/src/inet
