Exchanging data between plugin and interface class with the same plugin instance created in first use.

[TheCrowKaka]

Hello

I am still testing how to use plugins for my application.
I am having an application A and a plugin B. This plugin is an application plugin and has a Dialog in it.

I am able to execute the plugin B from application A thereby loading the dialog in B and send data from A to B the first time.
I am able to send data from plugin B Dialog to the A application many times.
However when I try to send a data from application A to the already existing dialog in plugin B, it does not send it to the existing dialog of plugin B but it creates a new instanace of the Dialog of plugin B and sends data to that new instance. Each time i try to send the Data from A to Dialog of Plugin B, it creates a new instance of the Plugin B Dialog.

How can I avoid creating this new instance and have data sent from application A to the existing Dialog in plugin B?

Can anyone guide me on this.
I have attached the zip file with source code for the Testing App and Testing plugin. I am using this on Windows 10 with Qt5.10.1 MinGW

@TheCrowKaka

and what makes you think that it is a good idea to list a couple of moderators arbitrarily in your post?

1. Some of them have not been in the forum for a long time.
2. Your post draw certainly the attention of mods quite quickly as you see.
3. Anyway , most likely it will not help you to get answers faster or better than others.

That doesn't work, you can use https://github.com/ or something similar to share complex projects

Sorry for doing that. I just did not know if it is OK or not OK to do that. Just was desperate to get an answer.
I will not do that in the future.
However, in case I have a post for which I have not received any answer to close it, can I then mark it to some moderators to draw their attention?
Thanks for your guidance.

No, if a moderator has an answer he/she will write it, no need to contact directly. You can refresh you thread adding one more post.

Hi
You create a new dialog each time. Do you mean that ?

void Myechoplugin::mygastro(const QString &message)
{
    mydiag = new plugtestdialog(); <<< new one every time
    connect(mydiag,SIGNAL(TinkerValue(QString)),this,SLOT(TinkerValue(QString)));
    mydiag->Setvalues(message);
    mydiag->show();
//    QString retmessage = mydiag->newvalue;
//    mydiag->close();
//    mydiag->deleteLater();
    //    return retmessage;
}

OH!! I just missed that point.
I corrected that and now it works.
Thanks.
