Can no longer build due to no matching function.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Did you delete the ui file + the corresponding header and source files ? Did you change any name in between ?

[dejarked]

Thanks for the reply, I deleted the UI file only. I kept the headers from the old file but when I replaced the file I kept all the names the same. I also deleted the call code for the UI file and retyped it.

[SGaist]

Then, since you're in a hurry, the quick way: move these files out of the source tree, recreate your widget, copy back your custom code if you had any

[dejarked]

@SGaist Is it fine to copy the GUI as well or should I remake that? As in all my labels and edits etc.

[SGaist]

You can copy it, just check that all names are correct

[dejarked]

@SGaist So, I just copied over all the code to a completely new project in a new folder and Qt is still throwing me the same error as in the original post.

[SGaist]

Don't overwrite the new files with the content of the old one, just cherry-pick the modifications you made e.g. slot added etc.

[dejarked]

@SGaist Right, I only copied the code from the old slots directly into the ones in the new project made by Qt, still getting the same error.

[SGaist]

So, recreating your widget from scratch in a new project and just copying the slot code gives you the same error ?

[dejarked]

@SGaist Yup, new folder, new project I created all new files in Qt added all my GUI back, followed to slot, then copied the code in and still get the same error

[SGaist]

Did you check that all names were matching ? Ui widget name vs C++ widget name ?

[dejarked]

@SGaist Right, sorry to be causing so many problems, but thank you for the help! Everything is working now, I missed some of the includes, however I can't use .setModal(true); on a new window opening because it's saying the class has no member called setModal

            behindlogin behindlogin;
            behindlogin.setModal(true);
            behindlogin.exec();
            connClose();

[SGaist]

You're welcome !

setModal and exec are methods from QDialog. From what I understood you have a QMainWindow, no ?

[dejarked]

@SGaist Ahh yes, I've changed from a Dialog to a MainWindow as I wanted the menu bar at the top.

[SGaist]

So problem solved ? :)

[dejarked]

@SGaist The code actually compiles now! Thank you, the only issue left is I've replaced the code with

            behindlogin behindlogin;
            behindlogin.show();
            connClose();


Which causes the window to open and them immediately close after

[SGaist]

If you have something like:

{
    behindlogin behindlogin;
    behindlogin.show();
    connClose();
} <- behindlogin is destroyed here

[dejarked]

@SGaist Right, so I've replaced it with

                behindlogin *behindLogin;

in the header file and then

            behindLogin =new behindlogin(this);
            behindLogin->show();

in the main cpp file but it's saying that behindlogin does not name a type?

[SGaist]

Is behindlogin a member variable of a class ?

[dejarked]

@SGaist Uh, honestly I'm not sure.. I'm very new to Qt and I've been following tutorials. Everything I've looked at makes it look like this should work but I can't figure out what I'm doing incorrectly.
