So I'm making an installer...

So I'm making an installer... You know, the basic disclaimer, click next, progress bar, etc.. But my question is, how do I change the window to the next step when the button widget clicked signal is executed? How do I change windows? How do I create different windows?

I don't know if its the best way but I do it like this.
I hope I understood you well:

Link a slot to the signal.
In the slot delete the stuff you don't need for example if you created a Label(QLabel *label) you don't need anymore:

@delete label;@

Now you can add new stuff like QPushButtons, QLabels etc. :

@button = new QPushButton("Hello",parent);@

I hope this helps you :)

Hi,

You can use the more convenient "qwizard":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtwidgets/qwizard.html and "qwizardpage":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtwidgets/qwizardpage.html
Check the "licensewizard":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/dialogs-licensewizard.html and "classwizard":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/dialogs-classwizard.html examples.

This is a great idea. Not sure why I didn't think of that.

How do I hide certain widgets in the designer mode? Because using your method I have widgets piling over other widgets and its crowded.

Please, don't go that way. Instead, use these classes:

But I don't understand the QWizard class.

Follow the "licensewizard":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/dialogs-licensewizard.html to start with. The "qwizard":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtwidgets/qwizard.html#details doc is nicely documented.
