    Default "Change widget class on button click" problem

    Hi, I'm making qt gui application, and in mainwindow I have QWidget, which should become one of my custom widgets..

    here's a code

    Qt Code:
    1. MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    2. QMainWindow(parent)
    3. {
    4. QWidget *tempWidget = new QWidget(this);
    5. setMinimumSize(800,600);
    6. QFormLayout *mainLayout=new QFormLayout();
    7. QVBoxLayout *btnsLayout=new QVBoxLayout;
    8. btns=new QGroupBox;
    9. widget=new QWidget;
    10. widget->setStyleSheet("height: 400px; width: 500px;");
    11. onlineGameButton=new QPushButton("ONLINE GAME");
    12. connect(onlineGameButton, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(newOnlineGame()));
    13. offlineGameButton=new QPushButton("OFFLINE GAME");
    14. simulateGameButton=new QPushButton("SIMULATE GAME");
    15. optionsButton=new QPushButton("OPTIONS");
    16. exitButton=new QPushButton("EXIT");
    17. connect(exitButton, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(exitProgram()));
    18. btnsLayout->addWidget(onlineGameButton);
    19. btnsLayout->addWidget(offlineGameButton);
    20. btnsLayout->addWidget(simulateGameButton);
    21. btnsLayout->addWidget(optionsButton);
    22. btnsLayout->addWidget(exitButton);
    23. btnsLayout->addStretch();
    24. btns->setLayout(btnsLayout);
    25. mainLayout->addRow(btns, widget);
    26. ...
    27. tempWidget->setLayout(mainLayout);
    28. setCentralWidget(tempWidget);
    29. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Qt Code:
    1. void MainWindow::newOnlineGame()
    2. {
    3. widget=new GameWidgetView;
    4. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    i used debug to view if event is fired, and it is, but nothing happend, widget didn't become GameWidgetView...

    widget is defined as private member of MainWindow, so when I add it to centralwidget, when i change widget, it should be changed and "that widget" in centralwidget, too, right(because of reference)?

    sorry for my english

    You only create a new widget and assign it to some variable. There is no "replacement" going on. If you want to replace one widget with another then either use QStackedWidget or delete the old widget and place the new one in a layout where the old widget was.
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

    Please ask Qt related questions on the forum and not using private messages or visitor messages.

    great! thanks lot, it works.

    these are correction
    //first change stupid name widget to less stupid name _widget
    in mainwindow.h
    Qt Code:
    1. QStackedWidget *_widget;
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    in mainwindow.cpp
    Qt Code:
    1. _widget=new QStackedWidget;
    2. _widget->addWidget(new QWidget);
    3. _widget->addWidget(new GameWidgetView);
    4. _widget->setStyleSheet("height: 400px; width: 500px;");
    5. ...
    6. }
    7.  
    8. void MainWindow::newOnlineGame()
    9. {
    10. _widget->setCurrentIndex(1);
    11. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

    There are several other ways you could do it. Simplest would be to parent the new widget with the old one and set the new widget's position to be (0,0) relative to the parent and its size to be the same as the parent. And, of course, don't forget to show() it.
