Problems accessing static member variable from static member function

[spirit]

you must init static variable

QComboBox *Test::m_comboBox = new QComboBox();

QComboBox *Test::m_comboBox = new QComboBox();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

why do you need this method of storing/getting of QComboBox?

i already got my solution... i have posted it...

I need to get the combo box pointer as i need to add items to it from a different class.

If i use a normal member function to return the combo box pointer it won't work as as i have to first create an instance of this class in the other class to invoke the member function. As soon as i create an instance, the member combo box variable is allocated a new memory and i am not able to get the original combo box pointer.

So , i have to call it directly without using an object, so i have to use either statiic or a global variable...

pls read my earlier post and suggest if i should go for global or static member variable.
