    @mrjj

    #include "dialog.h"
    #include <QApplication>
    
    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
        QApplication a(argc, argv);
        Dialog *w = new Dialog();
        w->showNormal();
    
        return a.exec();
    }``` 
    
    and yes I used Dialog instead of mainwindow

    Hi I think the dialog in dialog mess up something.
    Didnt work for me if I new the sign dialog in Start dialog constructor.
    But it does work if I hooked it up outside.
    Have a look at this example
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/bvpps7qd8oovtjf/gonext.zip?dl=0
    Its the same idea but created slightly different.

          @mrjj ok it works. I redid my code using only QWidgets and it works. I think I know the problem and I forgot to mention it. I made QDialog a stacked widget and promoted the file signin.

            Ok, as far as I know you cannot connect signal to signal but you can
            connect multiple signals to one slot.

            Did you place break point to see if the DoNext is called and
            also check in application output that none of the connets return fail.
            maybe even
            qDebug() << " result:" << connect(ui->nextButtonSignin, SIGNAL(clicked()),this,SLOT(DoNext())); for both connect to see
            if they are successful.

            You can. See the documentation:

            You can connect as many signals as you want to a single slot, and a signal can be connected to as many slots as you need. It is even possible to connect a signal directly to another signal. (This will emit the second signal immediately whenever the first is emitted.)

              Aha, that is news for me. so that is like a chain signal or almost like an alias.

              @marlenet15
              Super. not sure what the real reason was but as long as it works :)

                @mrjj Before creating the stackedwidget it worked. After adding it, it doesn't work anymore.

                  Ok. do you promote a qDialog to a stackwidget ?
                  Not sure I fully understand.
                  At least I have never tried that.

                          Hi np.
                          Im not 100% sure what you did.
                          If you promote a widget to a dialog.
                          the dialog will be sort of inside the parent/widget that contains the
                          promoted widget.
                          So I wondered if you promoted a stacked widget to the signin dialog ?

                            @mrjj I created a stackedwidget in dialog.ui, in there I promoted signin.h into the stackedwidget.

                              ahh that way. Hmm should be the same as using a plain qwidget but seems it was not.

                              Can I ask what kind of design u are after ?
                              like sort of custom wizard style thing ?

                                @mrjj yes I am. I am doing something simple now in order to understand how it works so that later I can use it so that when i click the button, it goes to the next page.

                                  Ok. but you want it to be standalone Dialogs or pages in a stacked widget ?
                                  or you want to use UI files that you promote into the stacked widget?

                                    @mrjj pages in a stackedwidget. I figured it out how to make it work through code but I am having a difficult time make it work only through Qt Designer/.ui file

                                      Ok. well I think such wizard do need code if not just a Dialog with a stacked widget and the the Next button outside of the stacked.

                                        You can connect 2 signals.
