    This is a very simple question that I can't quite get my head around...

    If I click a button in the mainwindow it will hide mainwindow then make a NewWindow and show it. If I click on NewWindow it will hide NewWindow and then unhide mainwindow....

    Question is, how do I get NewWindow (which is a child of mainwindow, I think?) to access mainwindow and tell it to do something?

    @#include "mainwindow.h"
    #include "ui_mainwindow.h"

    MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
    {
    ui->setupUi(this);
    }

    MainWindow::~MainWindow()
    {
    delete ui;
    }

    void MainWindow::on_Button_ToNew_clicked()
    {
    this->hide();
    Instance1_NewWindow = new NewWindow(this);
    Instance1_NewWindow->show();
    }
    @

    No idea where to start in the NewWindow

    @#include "newwindow.h"
    #include "ui_newwindow.h"

    #include "mainwindow.h"

    NewWindow::NewWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::NewWindow)
    {
    ui->setupUi(this);
    }

    NewWindow::~NewWindow()
    {
    delete ui;
    }

    void NewWindow::on_Button_ToMain_clicked()
    {

    }
    @

          Why use something like QSharedMemory for that task ? Signals and Slots like qxoz suggested is the right way

            Ohk. I misunderstood the question. i understood that there should be only a single instance. Probably i haven't read out it clearly. sorry for inconvenience .
