Accessing objects in different forms

[munna]

I suggest you use the method wysota has suggested. I think it a cleaner way to accomplish your task.

If you still want to use the other way and know what the error is, can you please show us your code ?

In povezava.ui.h I have:

void Povezava::Connect_clicked()
{
      .
      .
      .
      GlavnoO->enable_lista_tabel();
      close();
 
    };

void Povezava::Connect_clicked()
{
      .
      .
      .
      GlavnoO->enable_lista_tabel();
      close();
	
    };

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

In GlavnoO.ui.h I have:

void GlavnoO::enable_lista_tabel()
    {
    lista_tabel->setEnabled(true);
    };

void GlavnoO::enable_lista_tabel()
    {
    lista_tabel->setEnabled(true);
    };

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

I think I know where the problem is: GlavnoO is class while I would need to call object of that class. The problem is that I have that object defined in main.cpp and I don't know how to include it.

You can use signals and slots mechanism to connect those two objects.

[Lebowski]

I already have a slot defined:

void GlavnoO::enable_lista_tabel()
          {
          lista_tabel->setEnabled(true);
          };

void GlavnoO::enable_lista_tabel()
          {
          lista_tabel->setEnabled(true);
          };

How do I create signal in designer? Just adding it in Object Explorer doesn't generate anything really. And adding it to .h file in ".ui/" folder won't work cause all changes there are being ignored.

You don't implement signals --- it's enough to declare them within class definition (the rest will be handled by moc).

Then just write:

emit someSignal( someParameter );

emit someSignal( someParameter );

Then try the subclassing approach: http://doc.trolltech.com/3.3/designer-manual-6.html

Is it enough to just write that line of code in (for example) my povezava.ui.h file within some function (slot)?

Yes, if you have declared that signal in the Designer. Of course you will also have to make the connection.

[Lebowski]

Signal and slot are now working ok. Thanx for help.

Where do I make connection though? In main.cpp? Cause QT Designer's wizard only allows creation of connections within same form.

You will have to create the connection by hand. The best place to do it is the one where you have an easy access to both objects, in your case this might be the main() function.

[Lebowski]

It works!!! Thanx a lot
Btw in connect I had to use '&' character in front of object names. What does that mean? Does it mean memory address of that object maybe?

[wysota]

Yes. Connect needs pointers.
