How to connect my application pages

[thefatladysingsopera]

I have this application that has five 'pages'.By pages i mean that i have five uniquely designed ui for each i.e i have the (year,league,reports,search engine),all have its own .h,.cpp and a .ui.

My project is called 'smith' and i have a .h,a .cpp and a .ui as you'ld expect.

I was wondering how i can open my search engine page from say my years page.

void years::on_actionSearch_triggered()
{
//Open the search engine page
}

void years::on_actionSearch_triggered()
{
//Open the search engine page
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

are these pages organizes in tabs? are they dialogs? or "plain" widgets?

My search engine page for instance has got many widgets for instance table views and forms.

#include "search_engine.h"
#include "ui_search_engine.h"
 
search_engine::search_engine(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::search_engine)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);
   //ui has several widgets such as QTableView.
}
 
search_engine::~search_engine()
{
    delete ui;
}

#include "search_engine.h"
#include "ui_search_engine.h"

search_engine::search_engine(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::search_engine)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);
   //ui has several widgets such as QTableView.
}

search_engine::~search_engine()
{
    delete ui;
}

ok, your search engine is a QMainWindow. what about "years"? also a QMainWindow? where do you create these Widgets?

[thefatladysingsopera]

year,league,reports,search engine are all main windows.For instance in the year page i have a qtableview and forms to do the CRUD part.

[FelixB]

it is completely irrelevant what is inside these mainwindows. the question is: where do you create them?

I see why its an obvious error now to have all those multiple main windows.Where can i create them?.

One way would be creating them all in main.cpp and connecting some signals

I realized what i was doing was wrong so i am reading articles on Qt designer and stuff and i would be grateful if someone guided me on where to start if you understand my problem.
