    Hi,

    Simply by inheriting it like any other class.

    The explicit keyword doesn't forbid that at all

        {
        ....
        };@

          So the MainWindow class is the same as QMainWindow?

            which MainWindow class are you talking about?

              No, MainWindow is just a class name. Usually it's the name that QtCreator makes for you when you generate a new QtGui project. The MainWindow class will inherit the QMainWindow.

                Right, that MainWindow class that QtGui generates is the class I want to inherit. How do I inherit MainWindow class?

                  The same way Jeroentje@home described.

                  Based on your questions ( "e.g. this thread":https://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/33488/ ), I would recommend you to have a look at Qt's example/demos/tutorials and documentation as well as a good book on C++. This will help you get started.

                    I know how to inherit in C++ but for some reason I get errors when I inherit MainWindow class.
