    In your case, you dont need to manually close the application, you just close the widget you are showing out there and your application will be closed automatically. For that you need to set this flag of your qApp object.
    Qt Code:
    1. app.setQuitOnLastWindowClosed(true);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

    Are you sure this is being called.
    Qt Code:
    1. void Widget::read_db_settings();
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    Can you paste your code?

    Hi,if your mesagebox has worked currently,the close method must have done currently.
    because your code is currently!

    First of all, you are checking the condition in reverse way.
    It should be like. Please replace this function with code below and tell us the results.
    Qt Code:
    1. void Widget ::read_ncssettings()
    2. {
    3. QFile file("ncssettingss.ini");
    4. if(file.open(QFile::ReadOnly))
    5. {
    6. QMessageBox::information(this, "OK !", "file found, yeppie");
    7. QTextStream ts(&file);
    8. this->portno=ts.readLine(100);
    9. portno=portno.trimmed();
    10. this->baudrate=ts.readLine(100);
    11. baudrate=baudrate.trimmed();
    12. this->fmsname=ts.readLine(100);
    13. fmsname=fmsname.trimmed();
    14. qDebug() << baudrate;
    15. file.close();
    16. }
    17. else //if file is not found then give msg box and close the app
    18. {
    19. QMessageBox::critical(this, "Error !", "no file found");
    20. close();//No need to use this-> its obvious.;)
    21. }
    22. }

    hi gokul
    i tried as u said now if the file is not found an error box comes then if i give ok to error box it closes ,then only the main widget form opens.but actually the widget box should not open am i right???
    any further idea im also trying this another way!!if possible can u do this in ur pc
    jus create on qt gui widget application just close the application using close () from widget.cpp constructor or using any function but not by any buttons
    thanks...

    hi gokul
    sorry for the continuous writing.. as you said i changed the code ,but it does not work
    as expected.In my case the ncssettingss.ini file is not present so it goes to the else {}
    condition ,after that it displays the messagebox .If i give ok ,then messagebox is closed after that the mainwindow is opened.but actually it should not open the window..
    the application should be closed!!
    thanks

    In your main function please add this line:
    Qt Code:
    1. qApp->setQuitOnLastWindowClosed (true);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    And change the function something like:
    Qt Code:
    1. void Widget ::read_ncssettings()
    2. {
    3. QFile file("ncssettingss.ini");
    4. if(file.open(QFile::ReadOnly))
    5. {
    6. QMessageBox::information(this, "OK !", "file found, yeppie");
    7. QTextStream ts(&file);
    8. this->portno=ts.readLine(100);
    9. portno=portno.trimmed();
    10. this->baudrate=ts.readLine(100);
    11. baudrate=baudrate.trimmed();
    12. this->fmsname=ts.readLine(100);
    13. fmsname=fmsname.trimmed();
    14. qDebug() << baudrate;
    15. file.close();
    16. }
    17. else //if file is not found then give msg box and close the app
    18. {
    19. //QMessageBox::critical(this, "Error !", "no file found");
    20. if(close())
    21. QMessageBox::critical(this, "YES", "Closed");
    22. else
    23. QMessageBox::critical(this, "NO", "Not Closed");
    24. }
    25. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Then tell us the result.
