Error: no matching function for call to 'QObject::connect
-
Thank you very much for all the help!
The last problem I have is how to pass the label and lineedit to the slot. I don't want to make them global variables. if I create a custom signal with the label and lineedit to match the slot, I'm confused about where to emit the signal.

Before that, why do you need the
MainWindowContent. It looks like a convoluted mean to create the central widget content. -
I want to keep the logic of how the program progresses from page to page in MainWindow. But I want other classes to generate the pages to be displayed. Basically I want to be able to manage the program without having a single .cpp file that is a thousand lines or so.
-
Then why not make them full QWidget derivative ?
That's what is usually done, cut your application in logical pieces and then build as many QWidget based classes as needed to keep the code clean, simple and tidy.

The scribble example is a simple example to start with.
-
I went over the example but I still have some difficulty converting it to my use. I created a MainWindowContent that is a subclass of QWidget and created a
QGridLayout* MainWindowContent::getPageWidgetsLayout()the exact same function I provided in the code above.
I don't think that this is the intended goal of this example because in MainWindow an instance of the QWidget subclass (ScribbleArea) is passed to setCentralWidget not a call to a function using the instance. Am I supposed to move all the code from getPageWidgetsLayout() to the constructor and declare the label, lineedit, and pushbutton as private variables.
-
No the example shows what I suggested: create a separated widget that encapsulates the functionality of interest and use that one in the MainWindow.
-
Finally, I got it to work but I still have the same problem that I started with. How do I pass the line edit and label to the slot?
I searched online and all the examples have a condition other than the button being clicked that emit the signal . Any hints please?
