URGENT : How to Show Another Window From MainWindow in QT using c++
-
You should read about it.
In any case, it's not the right way to do it. You can remove the instance you have in your widget but do not forget to instanciate the one you have in your main.cpp file.
@SGaist You were right . It had something to do with the instance but when i removed the extern this happened
- chessboard.cpp
However when i kept it and added this line in my main.cpp like this
- main.cpp
it didn't crash and it showed this window, which means it couldn't load the chessboard or the ressources (in the middle of the game such as the pawn, queen ..)
and as an OUTPUT :
DEBUG TRACE MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget) @ line # 42
DEBUG TRACE MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget) @ line # 43
DEBUG TRACE MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget*) @ line # 44
DirectWrite: CreateFontFaceFromHDC() failed (Indique une erreur dans un fichier d’entrée, tel qu’un fichier de polices.) for QFontDef(Family="", pointsize=18, pixelsize=24, styleHint=5, weight=50, stretch=100, hintingPreference=0) LOGFONT("MS Sans Serif", lfWidth=0, lfHeight=-24) dpi=96** - chessboard.cpp

@Jasmin-Quinn Solution as per the existing implementation of chessboard application (Just to make the integration works fine)
1)Copy the required files to the existing project.
2)In Mainwindow.cpp create the global game object pointer;
Game *game; //I discourage using global, suggest only to make it work
3)In on_lancer_partie_clicked() create the instance of it
game = new Game();
game->show();
game->displayMainMenu(); -

I already have all the files in my project and i created the instance on on_lancer_partie_clicked() . As for creating a global game object pointer in Minwindow.cpp it crashes .
However , when i implement it in my main.cpp like this , it works .
The only problem is that i need it to work when i click on the button .- Main.cpp
Is it possible that it needs to be inside the QApplication Class ?
- Main.cpp
-
@Jasmin-Quinn ok In that case,
game = new Game(); // in main.cppIn button handler on_lancer_partie_clicked() write below code
game->show();
game->displayMainMenu();Note:make sure MainWindow.h should not have any game variable as member variable. It should have access to global game object pointer

game = new Game(); // in main.cppIn button handler on_lancer_partie_clicked() write below code

@nagesh I removed Game * game; from mainwindow.h
and ran it but didn't work
it only works when i add Game *game in either on_lancer_partie_clicked() or in mainwindow.h eventhough it already exists in main.cpp -
@Jasmin-Quinn you are not following as suggested..
Decide where do you want to have the instance of game.
Follow only the steps 1)2)3) suggested earlier and make sure main is not having any game object pointer and
MainWindow.h also should not have any game*. -

@Jasmin-Quinn move the declaration of
Game *game to MainWindow.h as global declaration -
@Jasmin-Quinn move the declaration of

@Jasmin-Quinn move the declaration of
Game *game to MainWindow.h as global declaration@nagesh Done
-
@Jasmin-Quinn I hope Game *game declared in MainWindow.h only..
@nagesh It is i promise . Is it nomral that my compiler couldn't find the moc_mainwindow.cpp file tho ?
-
@Jasmin-Quinn paste MainWindow.h code here
Hope it's having below statements in the beginning

@Jasmin-Quinn okay fine, I repeat that my first post is the solution to this application integration.
I repost the working solution. (I tried integrating github project which is working fine )
Solution as per the existing implementation of chessboard application (Just to make the integration works fine)
1)Copy the required files(chess project files) to the existing project.2)In Mainwindow.cpp create the global game object pointer;
Game *game=nullptr;
//make sure Game *game; exists only in the Mainwindow.cpp
//Earlier crash was because there were two instance game * one in Manwindow.h as member variable and other with main.cpp.3)In Mainwindow.cpp include the game.h file
#include "game.h"4)In on_lancer_partie_clicked() create the instance of it
game = new Game();
game->show();
game->displayMainMenu();Note: Assumption that github code remains unaltered.

So basically back to square one.
I still believe that SUB_DIRS would make life easier.
( adding game code from github was a snap - but it works as independent project only.The qmake / management part of SUB_DIRS is OK, however, it definitely requires better knowledge of "make" ( am I repeating myself here?).
There are many options in qmake and it will just take some time to figure out how to
have (main) project
and be able to select real sub-project.I have done that on "C level " - using MDI / QProcess and I'll try to get same result
using qmake. -

If I borrow Qt "cALLBACK" terminology you probably want
main window event loop
game project event loopor in human -
run game project event loop INSIDE main project event loop
or in "pseudocode " (no buttons pushing )int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication main ptoject (argc, argv); main project event loop
QApplication game project (argc, argv); game project event loop
game = new Game();
game->show();
game->displayMainMenu();
return game project .exec();
return main project .exec();

@nagesh IT WORKKKSSS Thank youu !! How did i not think of that

Is it correct to say that now the "main project" has all the code of "chess" added so basically there is only one application running?
The objective to "have two windows" has been met, however, adding more "child applications" using same philosophy of "cut and paste" is not what " reusing code " means to me.
