Inherit MainWindow class?

[pditty8811]

How does one inherit MainWindow class into another class? It is labled as explicit.

Is there a workaround?

Hi,

Simply by inheriting it like any other class.

The explicit keyword doesn't forbid that at all

[pditty8811]

Could you show me an example plaease? inheriting MainWindow

[Jeroentjehome]

@class YourClass : public QMainWindow
{
....
};@

[pditty8811]

So the MainWindow class is the same as QMainWindow?

[NicuPopescu]

which MainWindow class are you talking about?

[Jeroentjehome]

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.

What errors are you getting ?
