Is data received from serial port possible to view on two forms?

Shivam Sharma

Error: no member named start in ui::mainwindow,

that is because it isn't able to access the pushbutton from setup window. Help please.

Also:
void MainWindow::on_start_toggled(bool checked)
{
toggleSerial(checked);
}
this also has errors saying: on_start_toggled doesn't match any declaration.

@Shivam-Sharma
where did you put this ?

public slots:
     void toggleSerial(bool checked);

in mainwindow.h or on setup.h ?

Shivam Sharma

in mainwindow.h

I repeat it once more: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ACCESS THIS BUTTON FROM MAIN WINDOW!
Please show your current code.

the connect here is wrong, I think I said, you should place it where you create (new Setup(this)) the setup object.

that would be here

void MainWindow::on_setupbutton_clicked()
{
    setup = new Setup(this);
    setup->show();
    connect(this, &MainWindow::newSerialData, setup, &Setup::onNewSerialData);
}

Error: no member named start in ui::mainwindow,

We don't see the form (.ui) class of MainWindow did you change the object name of start there ?

Edit: you also removed the on_start_toggled declaration in MainWindow.h

you know what, the "ConnectByName" feature is crap anyway don't use it.
Remove on_start_toggled complete,
and add the following in the mainWindow constructor :

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent)
    : QMainWindow(parent)
    , ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
       ui->setupUi(this);
       connect(ui->start, &QPushButton::toggled, this, &MainWindow::toggleSerial);

@Shivam-Sharma said in Is data received from serial port possible to view on two forms?:

Also:
void MainWindow::on_start_toggled(bool checked)
{
toggleSerial(checked);
}
this also has errors saying: on_start_toggled doesn't match any declaration.

You need to do what it says. Where is your declaration of this method in the .h file? I think you had it in setup.h, if you've moved the method to MainWindow then obviously you need to move the declaration too.

I think there was a miss conception, start is not a toggle button, but a QLabel or something.

Anyway here's a working example

btw, you leak memory (class instances) all over the place.

Thank you so much @J-Hilk @jsulm .

Helped a lot, i mean oh my god, you'll are the best support.
