    Default I have a rather convoluted question

    I am using RHEL 6 and Qt4.8
    Also using QtCreator.

    I have a project where I have a QListWidget implemented on a ui form. All my functionality works as I expect it.
    I have another project where I have a regular ui implemented. I added another UI to that project via Add New Class.

    1) First I want to show the new ui via a button press on the existing GUI. I cannot get the added ui to be recognized by the existing UI.

    2) Then I want to put my QListWidget from the other project onto this added UI.

    If I get #1 solved, I think I can get #2 done myself.

    Thanks for any help

    What does "another UI" mean?

    A window of some kind (dialog, mainwindow)?
    Or a widget that needs to be embedded into a container somewhere?

    What do you mean with "cannot get it recognized"?
    Are there any errors?

    Cheers,

    The original project is a QMainWindow type of project. everything is part of the .pro file and compiles.
    The compiler error is
    invalid use of lp1->ui->listPanel1->show();

    I try to get the MainWindow code to recognize the listPanel1 panel with this line of code in the .h file for the MainWindow cpp file.
    listPanel1* lp1;

    listPanel1 is the name of the second ui panel class and its .h file is included in the .h file for the MainWindow class.

    Thanks

    "listpanel1" is the name of a class. The compiler is telling you you can't use the name of a class in the context of the statement you have written.

    Please use CODE tags when posting source code so it is more readable. Click "Go Advanced" and then the "#" icon to insert the tags. Paste your code between them.

    This brings me back to my original question. How do I get my code to recognize this additional ui so that I can display it? Is my declaration in the header file wrong as I have it written above?

    It looks like I solve the issue. It was with my header file declaration.
    Thanks to all
