    I suggest trying writing some simple QML apps first, then. Connecting QtWidgets and QML is not simple.

    Here is an example:

    // C++
    ui->quickWidget->engine()->setContextProperty("yourCppObject", ui->dial);
    
    // QML
    Connections {
      target: yourCppObject
      onSliderMoved: gauge.value = value
    }
    

    This likely won't work as I had to guess all your project structure and object names. But maybe it will give you an idea how to do it.

      @sierdzio I tried to adjust you code..but it doesn't work with setContextProperty..I show my code:
      in mainWindow.cpp:
      #include "mainwindow.h"
      #include "ui_mainwindow.h"
      #include "pie1.h"
      #include "QQuickView"

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

      ui->qml->setSource(QUrl("qrc:///QmL.qml"));
      ui->qml->engine()->setContextProperty("yourObject",ui->dial);

      in file.qml:
      import QtQuick 2.7

      import QtQuick.Controls.Styles 1.4

      Item {
      width: 100
      height: 90
      Rectangle {
      id: normalView
      x: 0
      y: 0
      width: parent.width
      height: parent.height
      color: "lightgray"

      CircularGauge {
      value: 19
      anchors.centerIn: parent
      style: CircularGaugeStyle
      {
      minimumValueAngle : -90
      maximumValueAngle : 90
      needle:Rectangle
      {
      width: outerRadius * 0.02
      height: outerRadius * 0.7
      color: "Light Blue"

          }
      
          tickmarkLabel:Text
          {

        Please use code tags to wrap your code in. Makes it easier to read.

        Does ui->dial object have sliderMoved() signal? Is value the name of it's parameter? You need to make sure that these names match in C++ and QML.

            As said - names have to match. I don't have enough information to say whether they do or not. You do.

            MainWindow::on_dial_sliderMoved(int position)

            That suggest the parameter is names "position" and not "value". But I don't know if that is true for your signal definition, or only in the slot.

                @vale88 said in Can I connect qml with ui?:

                @sierdzio I must move the value of dial in MainWindow and the same value I must see in circular Gauge, only this

                Yes, I know that. And I did tell you how to do it, twice, and given some hints. More I cannot do without more data, as mentioned in my previous comment.

                    But not all of it. Please, read my comments with some understanding. I've told you how to connect, and that you need the signal, slot and parameter names to match (exactly the same strings). Your data does not specify what signal is sent by your dial, I've been only guessing that so far. Is the signal names sliderMoved? Does it have exactly one parameter, named position? If yes, then you can use that in Connections like this:

                    Connections {
                      target: yourObject
                      onSliderMoved: gauge.value = position
                    }
                    

                    But again, I'm only guessing.

                      @sierdzio sliderMoved is the signal of dial that I write doing "go to slot" in ui...it's very easy to understand..when I move the dial, so the value of dial changes, the value of circular gauge must change...is it clear?
