    Default Cant use QWidget::setParent().

    Hi.

    I have a new class called Piece, tried to inherit QLabel or QPushButton, everything is good, but once I try to set a parent (QWidget *container) its says

    error: "void QWidget::setParent(QWidget*)' is inaccessible
    void setParent(QWidget *parent);
    ^."

    After see that QLabel wasn't working, tried with QPushButton and happened the same thing.

    My Example Class:

    Qt Code:
    1. #ifndef PIECE_H
    2. #define PIECE_H
    3. #include <QPushButton>
    4. #include <QMouseEvent>
    5.  
    6. class Piece : QPushButton{
    7. Q_OBJECT
    8. public:
    9. Piece();
    10.  
    11.  
    12. };
    13. #endif // PIECE_H
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

    Your code uses private inheritance, all the methods of the base class are then private.

    You want public inheritance

    Qt Code:
    1. class Piece : public QPushButton{
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
