    Default Change mainwindow ui label text using another class

    Hi,

    I have a problem, i created a mainwindow UI that has pushbutton and label "text" like in this picture https://prnt.sc/soz9tm
    and Rain ui that has pushbutton like in this picture https://prnt.sc/sozbaq

    When i compile program, first it opens mainwindow ui and when i clik on pushbutton it opens rain ui.
    I want when i click on rain ui's pushbutton to set mainwindow's label text to "It rains",
    but i don't know how to access mainwindow's label with Rain's class.

    here are my codes and what i tried

    mainwindow.h

    Qt Code:
    1. #ifndef MAINWINDOW_H
    2. #define MAINWINDOW_H
    3.  
    4. #include <QMainWindow>
    5. #include "rain.h"
    6.  
    7. QT_BEGIN_NAMESPACE
    8. namespace Ui { class MainWindow; }
    9. QT_END_NAMESPACE
    10.  
    11. class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
    12. {
    13. Q_OBJECT

    17. ~MainWindow();
    18.  
    19. private slots:
    20. void on_pushButton_clicked();
    21.  
    22. public:
    23. Ui::MainWindow *ui;
    24. };
    25. #endif // MAINWINDOW_H

    but i don't know how to access mainwindow's label with Rain's class.
    You don't. Implement a signal for your rain class that gets emitted when the user clicks the button. In your MainWindow class, implement a slot to receive this signal. When you create your rain class in MainWindow:: on_pushbutton_clicked(), connect rain's signal to MainWindow's slot.

    If you don't understand how to implement custom signals and slots, read the documentation.

    Your code as written has a memory leak: Each time your clicked slot is executed, you create a new rain instance. This instance is never destroyed, so it is a memory leak. What you should do instead is make a "rain *" member variable in your MainWindow class, create the rain instance in the MainWindow constructor, and connect the signal and slot. In the clicked slot, simply call show() on this rain instance.

    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.

    Took some time to learn signal and slot implementation, and i did everything as you said
    Thank you, it works perfectly
