Get an Instances

sierdzio

What are you trying to achieve?

Not sure but you might want to build a singleton.

Or, if you want to get such instance by other means... well then some code somewhere (in another class or in main.cpp) will be calling your class constructor - meaning it will have access to your object pointer. That code can then provide the pointer to other objects which need it to connect to.

hi
@martial123

hi you can move your instanceOfClass to member of your class called class
so in the header you can add private member

//myclass.h 
private:
INSTANCE *instanceOfClass;

Myclass::MyClass()
{
    instanceOfClass = new INSTANCE();
    QObject::connect(instanceOfClass,&INSTANCE::signalName,this,&Myclass::slotName);
    instanceOfClass->show()
}

note :
your instanceOfClass is an instance of a class called INSTANCE which is not very intuitive

edit: sry if i misunderstood the question

INSTANCE

i think its the same like singleton ..
I just would like 1 instance and be able to acces at this instance by the class what i want ...
I have never implemented singleton ...

leLev i have try this ... but without result ...

Hello! Take a look at my example of the singleton.

testclass.h

class TestClass : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT

public:
    static TestClass &instance();
}

testclass.cpp

TestClass &TestClass::instance()
{
    static TestClass testInstance;
    return testInstance;
}

Then, you can use TestClass::instance() in your connects. Happy coding!

@martial123 Then simply implement a getter:

// You should really use more meaningful names in your code examples...
class class
{
public:
    INSTANCE* getInstance();
private:
    INSTANCE *instance;
};

class::class()
{
    instanceOfClass = new INSTANCE();
    instanceOfClass->show()
}

INSTANCE* getInstance()
{
    return instance;
}

Also, from your description it is not clear whether INSTANCE is actually same as class? If it is not then this is not a singleton.

in fact I just need 1 instance of my gui class .. and this instance it serve for connect many signal by other class .. so my use looks like the singleton not ??
Ty for all of you for your response

@martial123 , @ others
Still not sure what "1 instance of my gui class" means. I don't do Qt from C++/Qt Creator, so my usage is a bit different, but don't you have some sort of "global" variable named ui already which I have seen elsewhere and is your "GUI class"??

martial123

@JonB
yes i have !
all my classes are design by QT Design so he created variable ui like this in all classes :
private:
Ui::Window018703 *ui;

martial123

i have done this topic with that :

ty for all !

it does not completely answer the question of this topic but for my use it suits me

Did you check my suggestion? If I understand your question correctly it should give you the solution...

@jsulm
I have tried to work with return instance but i have not succeeded ...
