get QMdiSubWindow Pointer of Current SubWindow

[pospiech]

I have the following class which makes it easy for me to get new mdi sub windows

#ifndef MDICHILD_H_
#define MDICHILD_H_
 
#include <QtGui/QMdiArea>
#include <QtCore/QString>
#include <QtGui/QDialog>
#include <QtGui/QMdiSubWindow>
 
extern QMdiArea * MainWindowMdiArea;
 
class MdiChild : public QDialog
{
	Q_OBJECT
public:
	MdiChild(QWidget* parent = 0, Qt::WFlags flags = 0);
	virtual ~MdiChild();
 
public:
	void setDescription(const QString & str);
	QString Description();
	void makeMDIChild(QWidget * widget);
 
private:
	QString m_description;
	QWidget * InternalWidget;
 
};
#endif

#ifndef MDICHILD_H_
#define MDICHILD_H_

#include <QtGui/QMdiArea>
#include <QtCore/QString>
#include <QtGui/QDialog>
#include <QtGui/QMdiSubWindow>

extern QMdiArea * MainWindowMdiArea;

class MdiChild : public QDialog
{
	Q_OBJECT

	virtual ~MdiChild();

public:
	void setDescription(const QString & str);
	QString Description();
	void makeMDIChild(QWidget * widget);

private:
	QString m_description;
	QWidget * InternalWidget;

};
#endif

which can be used as

	: QMainWindow(parent , Qt::Window) 
{	
	setupUi(this);
	MainWindowMdiArea = mdiArea;
...

	: QMainWindow(parent , Qt::Window) 
{

	MainWindowMdiArea = mdiArea;
...

within this Dialog (which is a SubWindow) I would like to access the QMdiSubWindow it belongs to, is this possible somehow, without saving the window for each class?

If I try to do

MainWindowMdiArea->activeSubWindow()->widget()->parentWidget()->resize(width(), height);

MainWindowMdiArea->activeSubWindow()->widget()->parentWidget()->resize(width(), height);

within the dialog, I get the linker error:

Nicht aufgelöstes externes Symbol ""class QPointer<class QMdiArea> MainWindowMdiArea" (?MainWindowMdiArea@@3V?$QPointer@VQMdiArea@@@@A)" .

Does something like:

QMdiSubWindow *sw = qobject_cast<QMdiSubWindow *>(parentWidget());
if (sw) 
    do stuff with parent;

QMdiSubWindow *sw = qobject_cast<QMdiSubWindow *>(parentWidget());
if (sw) 
    do stuff with parent;

in the MDI sub window's child widget code work for you?
