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

Its the same idea but created slightly different.wrote on 12 Oct 2015, 16:09 last edited by@mrjj I followed your example but it is still not working.

so the getnext example which runs here do no work when you compile it? -

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.@mrjj said:

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 :) -

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

so the signin dialog was sort of inline to Dialog ? -

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 ? -

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 ? -

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? -

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. -

@koahnig
yeah but not sure how it helps ?
Can you explain more about the setup? -

Instead of the SLOT macro you use another SIGNAL macro.
bool boo = connect (ptrFirst, SIGNAL (mySigFirst() ), this, SIGNAL ( newSignal() ) );That is useful when you simply have to pass on a signal. It saves you to create a slot in your class which simply is emitting a signal.
the text in the signal & slot explanatory part below the graph and shortly before the heading Signals is
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.)In the form of the example above I have used it already.
