    Hi and welcome
    If you made the GUI with Designer, it will be something like
    // as real data variable
    QDate = ui->dateEdit->date();
    QDate Mydate= ui->dateEdit->date()
    // as string
    StringQString dateString = dateMydate.toString();

      Thanks for share
      Two question:

      1-Why you use ui ?
      2- i write this code and get error :

      void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked()
      {
          QDate = ui->dateEdit->date();
          String dateString = date.toString();
      
      
      }

        Hi and welcome to devnet,

        1. Like @mrjj wrote, that's valid if you used a Designer based form.
        2. String is not a Qt class, the name is QString.

        By the way, what exact error are you getting ?

          Thanks
          i have this error :

          error: expected unqualified-id before '=' token
          QDate = dateEdit->date();
          ^
          error: 'date' was not declared in this scope
          QString dateString = date.toString();
          ^

          and this is my code:

          void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked()
          {
              QDate = dateEdit->date();
              QString dateString = date.toString();
          
          
          }

            Your are missing the variable name between QDate and =

                  You named your QDate variable test and then you use date in the following line hence the error and the warning.

                  As for the dateEdit not declared, you don't have any member variable declared nor initalized with that name.

                  Looks like you're new to C++, please take the time to learn the basics.
