Problem displaying my main window

[Salazaar]

But in book, there appear one more line after QApplication app... It's

Ui::MainWindow ui

Ui::MainWindow ui

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

which not appear in my application, but it works.

Hi than. I read chapter 2, I understand it, but I still don't know how to connect action to another dialog. It shows how to make slots and use it, but not how to connect two different dialogs. Regards

but not how to connect two different dialogs.

What do you mean by "connect two different dialogs"? Do you want to connect a signal from one dialog to a slot in the other one?

[Salazaar]

I want to connect action in my menu called actionAbout to dialog which is in ui_about

Define "connect". What exactly you want to happen?

[Salazaar]

if a ucer clicks a button, than about dialog is displayed

I've already shown you how to do it.

Have you read the third chapter?

[Salazaar]

Right

void MainWindow::on_actionAbout_triggered()
 
      {
 
         OtherDialog dlg( this );
 
         dlg.exec();
 
      }

void MainWindow::on_actionAbout_triggered()
  
      {
  
         OtherDialog dlg( this );
   
         dlg.exec();

      }

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

And if I have a dialog included to my file called Dialog, so the OtherDialog will the replaced by Dialog? And what about "dlg"? and must on_aboutAction_triggered() be defined in slots section? I mean the same way that I do it with other functions?

[jacek]

And if I have a dialog included to my file called Dialog, so the OtherDialog will the replaced by Dialog?

Yes, you have to replace it with the name of a class you want to use.

And what about "dlg"?

It doesn't matter, it's just a variable.

and must on_aboutAction_triggered() be defined in slots section?

Yes, it has to be a slot.

As a homework, please, get a copy of C++ Primer (Polish edition is called Podstawy języka C++) by S. Lippman and J. Lajoie and read parts 2--5.

[Salazaar]

And to connect dialog to a slot, I have to do this, what is described in posts #65, 66
and also include this ui_about.h dialog file and nothing else? Will it be done correctly?

[wysota]

You don't connect a dialog to a slot. You connect a signal triggered() of the action actionAbout to a slot that has code which creates the dialog object and calls exec() on it to show it as modal.

[Salazaar]

Your absolutely right.
