Regarding the navigation from one window to other
-
Thanks alot for the reply. I need to see the window wen the push button is clicked. Actually i have written the code in a different way which will give only a message box. I am enclosing the code along with this post. Can u please tell me how to modify the same . I am having one header file named mainwindow.h and one .cpp file mainwindow.cpp and a main file
Mainwindow.h file
#ifndef MAINWINDOW_H
#define MAINWINDOW_H
#include <QtGui/QMainWindow>
class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
{
Q_OBJECTpublic:
MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0);
~MainWindow();
private slots:
void on_pushButton_clicked();
};Mainwindow.cpp
#include "mainwindow.h"
#include <QtGui>
#include <QTableWidget>
#include <QPushButton>
MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent)
: QMainWindow(parent)
{
QTableWidget *tablewidget = new QTableWidget(this);
int column=3,row=12;
tablewidget->setColumnCount(column);
tablewidget->setRowCount(row);
tablewidget->setItem(0, 0, new QTableWidgetItem("UP"));
tablewidget->setItem(0, 1, new QTableWidgetItem("EAST"));
tablewidget->setItem(0, 2, new QTableWidgetItem("NORTH"));
tablewidget->setItem(1, 0, new QTableWidgetItem("UP"));
tablewidget->setItem(1, 1, new QTableWidgetItem("WEST"));
tablewidget->setItem(1, 2, new QTableWidgetItem("SOUTH"));
tablewidget->setItem(2, 0, new QTableWidgetItem("DOWN"));
tablewidget->setItem(2, 1, new QTableWidgetItem("WEST"));
tablewidget->setItem(2, 2, new QTableWidgetItem("NORTH"));
tablewidget->move(350,300);
tablewidget->resize(330,385);
QPushButton *button= new QPushButton(this);
button->move(1000,300);
button->setText("OK");
connect(button,SIGNAL(clicked()),this,SLOT(on_pushButton_clicked()));
}
MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
}
void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
QMessageBox :: information(this,"title here","heloo");
}Main.cpp
#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include "mainwindow.h"
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
MainWindow w;
w.show();return a.exec();}
Also can please explain me the method of creating the new windows.
Expecting your early reply -
Create a new class that inherits QMainWindow.
for example:
@
#include <QMainWindow>class YourWindow : public QMainWindow
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
YourWindow(QWidget *parent = 0);
~YourWindow();
//add other functions you want here
};@If you want the window, "parentless"... you may copy what was done in main.cpp into your MainWindow.cpp:
@YourWindow w;
w.show();@If not:
@YourWindow *w=new YourWindow(this);
w->exec();@Note the difference between show() and exec(). You may read the QWidget documentation about these 2 functions since QMainWindow inherited QWidget.

So basically you need to display another window when you click on push button [if I have understood correctly].
Dialog window is best way. You can use QDialog class.@void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
QDialog *dialog = new QDialog();
dialog->setModal(true);
dialog->exec();
}@You can have separate class inherited from QDialog if you wish any design in your dialog window.

Exactly.
But the problem with QDialog was that it blocks all user interaction to your "Main GUI" until it is closed. If you want a "non-blocking" window, use QWidget... but your choice depends on what you need.

bq. But the problem with QDialog was that it blocks all user interaction to your “Main GUI” until it is closed. If you want a “non-blocking” window, use QWidget… but your choice depends on what you need.
That's correct, dialog window with above code blocks all user interaction with main window as it is a Modal dialog. You can use Non Modal dialog, like,
@void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
QDialog *dialog = new QDialog();
dialog->setModal(false); //make it true for Modal dialog
dialog->show(); // and use show() instead of exec()

sorry for the late reply. I am attaching the code. as the code is having more .cpp and .h files, i am attaching only the page for which the clarification is needed. once again i will tell the aim of the program is listed below:
(1) i want to access the serially transmitted datas from another computer
(2) As soon as the datas are received the same should be displyed in a oscilloscope.Problem to be solved:
(1) I am able to display one window and able to collect the data through serial port. I have placed a push button in that window. wen the push button is clicked i want to generate a new window in which the qwt oscilloscope window has to be displayed.
(2) I will show the line of code which i have written in this program for the sameconnect(ui->openCloseButton, SIGNAL), SLOT));
after the same i have called the osci() function as the one below. void MainWindow::osci() { QMainWindow *osci = new QMainWindow(this); osci->show(); }
Now wen i am clicking a new window is displaying . My question is how to add the components into that new window. or how to include the oscilloscope program of qwt to it .
I was not able to post the entire code here as it is showing exceeding of 6000 characters
I will really gratefull if anybody can give the solution for the one above.
I am conveying my advance thanks to all.expecting a postive reply

have you tried reading through the Qwt examples? I relied on their examples when I am developing an application that needs graph.
