    Default error: C2664: 'myPushButton::myPushButton(const myPushButton &)': cannot convert arg

    Hi,

    Trying to override a QPushbutton with my own custom class. This qpushbutton belongs to a qwidget that I have overrided in UI editor. The problem is I am getting an error. Here are the classes:

    Mytitlebar class that has children qpushbuttons:

    #ifndef MYTITLEBAR_H
    #define MYTITLEBAR_H

    #include <QWidget>

    class myTitleBar : public QWidget
    {
    Q_OBJECT
    public:
    explicit myTitleBar(QWidget *parent = 0);

    protected:
    void paintEvent(QPaintEvent *);
    void mouseDoubleClickEvent( QMouseEvent * e );


    signals:
    void toggleViewSignal();

    public slots:
    };

    #endif // MYTITLEBAR_H

    #include "mytitlebar.h"
    #include <QStyleOption>
    #include <QPainter>
    #include <QDebug>
    #include <QMouseEvent>




    myTitleBar::myTitleBar(QWidget *parent) : QWidget(parent)
    {
    //this->setStyleSheet("QWidget {color:white; background: qlineargradient(spreadad, x1:0, y1:0, x2:0, y2:1 stop:0 rgba(170, 0, 0, 255), stop:1 rgba(0, 0, 0, 255)); padding-bottom:5px;} ");



    }

    void myTitleBar:aintEvent(QPaintEvent *)
    {
    QStyleOption opt;
    opt.init(this);
    QPainter p(this);
    style()->drawPrimitive(QStyle::PE_Widget, &opt, &p, this);
    }

    void myTitleBar::mouseDoubleClickEvent(QMouseEvent * e )
    {
    if ( e->button() == Qt::LeftButton )
    {
    qDebug() << "double click pressed";

    emit toggleViewSignal();

    }
    }


    And the extended pushbutton class thats giving an error:

    #ifndef MYPUSHBUTTON_H
    #define MYPUSHBUTTON_H

    #include <QPushButton>
    #include "mytitlebar.h"

    class myPushButton : public QPushButton
    {

    Q_OBJECT
    public:

    explicit myPushButton(QPushButton *parent = 0);


    protected:

    void focusInEvent(QFocusEvent *e) override;
    };

    #endif // MYPUSHBUTTON_H
    #include "mypushbutton.h"
    #include "mytitlebar.h"
    #include <QDebug>

    myPushButton::myPushButton(QPushButton *parent):QPushButton(parent)
    {

    }

    void myPushButton::focusInEvent(QFocusEvent *e)
    {
    qDebug() << "focus pushbutton pressed";
    }


    Not sure why it errors out when compiled?

    Thanks

    Somewhere you are probably using "myPushButton" when you should be using "myPushButton *". This error occurs because even though you haven't defined a copy constructor for myPushButton, the compiler is automatically creating one for you. Qt explicitly forbids copying or assigning QObject instances, so you can't have code like

    Qt Code:
    1. QWidget widget1;
    2. QWidget widget2 = widget1; // invokes a copy constructor - not allowed
    3. QWidget widget3;
    4.  
    5. widget1 = widget3; // invokes an assignment operator - not allowed
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Your compiler should tell you the exact line in your code where this error occurs. Read the compiler output.

    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.
