How to access Qt GUI from an library using qt designer form

SGaist

Hi,

What are your "standard application" ?

Srujan

@SGaist
Its "cryptokimanager"

SGaist

Let me rephrase that: what toolkit does it use ?

Is it already using Qt ?

Are you building that app yourself or are you writing a plugin for it and have no access to its internals ?

Srujan

@SGaist
Its a tool for managing and validating a pkcs#11 module..
For more info please refer Cryptoki manager

Can you post your code from which you call show_dialog1( ); ?

Srujan

@VRonin
simply I have called 'show_dialog1();' from one of exported functions in shared library..

VRonin

I suspect you are not creating the application. try Q_ASSERT(QCoreApplication::instance()); if it asserts (i.e. instance() returns NULL) then it means you simply forgot to crate the QApplication before creating any QWidget

SGaist

The question you are not answering is: are you working on that software code source directly ?

Srujan

@SGaist
yes

SGaist

Ok, then are you converting it to a full-blown Qt application ?

Srujan

@SGaist
If you are talking about- Cryptoki manager then i am not working on that application. I working on the library that is used to test with cryptokimanager(thrid party standard application).
As specified earlier, in my library there is a need of dialog part.

SGaist

So you are going to call the Cryptoki manager application from your code ?

Srujan

@SGaist
yes

SGaist

What's still not clear is whether you are writing a full-blown Qt application for that. Is it the case ?

Srujan

@SGaist yes now i have created separate qt application and invoking that application from library using pipe mechanism..
Now the issue is 'getting value from that application(what ever entered in qlineedit of dialog box)'

@Srujan Your Qt application could write to stdout and your library would read stdout of that application and parse it. See the documentation for QProcess.

@jsulm Thanks it worked..
