Is lineEdit from dialog connectable to textEdit from mainwindow?

[knutson]

It's my third day in Qt and the second day I'm trying to find any reasonable solution to insert a text from my dialog to the textEdit widget on the mainwindow. I know it's a C++ question and I suspect it's about inheritance, but please be kind to me. I am not a programmer and I will never be, I am a linguist. Please don't give me any advices about further readings, just help me with the problem. The code is attached: foo.zip.

The easiest way for you is to add a getter to the dialog that returns teh text

QString Dialog::text() const
{
    return ui->lineEdit->text();
}

QString Dialog::text() const
{
    return ui->lineEdit->text();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and then call that in MainWindow

Dialog dlg;
dlg.exec();
 
ui->textEdit->append(dlg.text());

Dialog dlg;
dlg.exec();

ui->textEdit->append(dlg.text());

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
