Can a Qwidget belong to two different layouts

[ioannis]

My problem is that I have created a QTextEdit and I want this widget to appear in two different dialogs, so if I change the value in the one layout the value to change in the other layout. Is such a configuration possible?

A minimal example is more than welcome.

Thanks in advance...

Hi,

• create two QLineEdits's
• connect them using the signal slot mechanism

connect(edit1, SIGNAL(textChanged(const QString&)), edit2, SLOT(setText(const QString&)));
connect(edit2, SIGNAL(textChanged(const QString&)), edit1, SLOT(setText(const QString&)));

connect(edit1, SIGNAL(textChanged(const QString&)), edit2, SLOT(setText(const QString&)));
connect(edit2, SIGNAL(textChanged(const QString&)), edit1, SLOT(setText(const QString&)));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

EDIT: äh, QTextEdit... The same concept but use textChanged() signal and connect to a custom slot where you change the value of the other edit...

also it is possible to use one QTextEdit object and change the parent and geometry of the object when needed but that wouldn't be a good solution and it wouldn't be possible to show the two widgets at the same time.

creating two QTextEdit objects makes much sense.

There is a nicer solution:

QTextEdit *te1 = new QTextEdit;
QTextEdit *te2 = new QTextEdit;
te2->setDocument(te1->document());

QTextEdit *te1 = new QTextEdit;
QTextEdit *te2 = new QTextEdit;
te2->setDocument(te1->document());

Wow, of course, I haven't thought of that possibility. Qt is great...
