    I found this signal : QApplication::focusChanged(QWidget *old, QWidget *new)
    And it's work for what I want to do.
    But, this function sends me the most little child of all my widgets. So I have implemented this function :

    template <class T>T findParent(QObject *child)
    {
    	T r = 0;
    
    	if (!child)
    		return nullptr;
    	QObject *parent = child->parent();
    	
    	while (parent) {
    		r = dynamic_cast<T> (parent);
    		if (r)
    			return r;
    		parent = parent->parent();
    	}
    	return r;
    }
    

    And it's working with "findParent<LayoutPanelTabber *>(new);"
    Thanks

    Hi
    Should dynamic_cast not be qobject_cast ?

      Hi yes but I have some problems with qobject_cast :
      "Error C2338 qobject_cast requires the type to have a Q_OBJECT macro"
      But in my class, I have the macro :

      class ProjectManager : public QObject
      {
      	Q_OBJECT
      
      public:
      	// Some function...
      	template <class T>
      	T findParent(QObject *child)
      	{
      		T r = nullptr;
      
      		if (!child)
      			return nullptr;
      		QObject *parent = child->parent();
      
      		while (parent) {
      			r = qobject_cast<T>(parent);
      			if (r)
      				return r;
      			parent = parent->parent();
      		}
      		return r;
      	}
      };
      

      Sorry for my English ^^'

        I don't know what the answer is and I don't do C++, but

        r = qobject_cast<T>(parent);
        "Error C2338 qobject_cast requires the type to have a Q_OBJECT macro"

        This will be complaining about the Q_OBJECT on parent or on type T (not sure which, perhaps the latter) not on your class, won't it?

          Hi
          Ah maybe it don't like templates as T don't exist yet.
          So if static check, there is no way for it to know if contains Q_OBJECT
          or not.

            That's what I was wondering/suspecting....

              Yes, it's what I was suspecting too, but in my class, if I call qobject_cast with T = ContentPanelEditor *, who is contained in the same project and have the macro Q_OBJECT, I have the same error...

              Edit:
              No, I misread. ^^' after the qobject_cast on my ContentPanelEditor, I have another cast for a class in another project. So he doesn't know about this class.
              This other class is contained in a dll. There is a way to apply qobject_cast on it?

              Sorry for my English ^^'

                Hi,

                Can you give more details about that chain of casts ?

                  Hi,

                  My program has two projects :

                  • one is a DLL.
                  • the other an EXE.
                    In my EXE, I have to apply a qobject_cast on a class who is contained in my DLL.
                    But if I put in this class (in the DLL) the macro Q_OBJECT, my IDE (visual studio 2017) cannot compile the project with an error of linking.

                  Sorry for my English ^^'

                    Is your .dll project also managed with Qt ?

                        Then there should be no problem with qobject_cast.

                              Hi, sorry for my late

                              This problem for example :

                              #pragma once
                              
                              #include <QtCore/qobject.h>
                              
                              class __declspec(dllexport) LayoutManager : public QObject
                              {
                              	Q_OBJECT
                              
                              public:
                              	template <class T>T findParent(QObject *child)
                              	{
                              		T r = nullptr;
                              
                              		if (!child)
                              			return nullptr;
                              		QObject *parent = child->parent();
                              
                              		while (parent) {
                              			r = qobject_cast<T>(parent);
                              			if (r)
                              				return r;
                              			parent = parent->parent();
                              		}
                              		return r;
                              	}
                              };
                              

                              And I have this error message :
                              Error : C2338 : qobject_cast requires the type to have a Q_OBJECT macro

                              But the macro is here. So instead of qobject_cast, I have to use dynamic_cast

                              Sorry for my English ^^'

                                  This is a type who doesn't exist in this project. I use this function in another project

                                    And is that type a QObject based class with Q_OBJECT in it's declaration ?

                                    @bozo6919 said in get the last QWidget actived:

                                    class __declspec(dllexport) LayoutManager : public QObject

                                    On a side note, Qt provides macros to properly handle the export/import stuff. See here.
