Sending struct to QDialog

but it complains when i want to point the data towards the dialog?

What does this mean?

"No viable conversion from Mainstruct to Dialogstruct"

Where Mainstruct is a struct in the MainWindow and Dialogstruct is a struct in the DialogWindow.

Both are set up like this

typedef struct
    {
        bool Condition1;        
        bool Condition2;        
        bool Condition3;
        QString String1;
        QString String2;
        QString String3;
}

Which is wrong - you need one struct definition.

You really should start with the basics of c(++) before fiddling around with Qt.

Informative, well chosen.
I hear QT is a mysterious device that could be dangerous for those who have not chosen the right path from the beginning.
Thanks for the warning :)

If you think... but i only said that at least basic c++ knowledge is needed since Qt is a c++ library.

The first time is always the hardest time and for me this was too many years ago :)
Takes a while to get the engine running again!
But why stop when you reach an obstacle? Just ask for a friendly helping hand?

I´m really sure though i need to define the structs in each of the header files.
Otherwise the dialog does not know what it´s struct is...right?

One single definition.

Put that in a different header that both can include.

@SGaist

Ok, so any change in the struct will affect both with no mismatch of data?

[SGaist]

That's the goal: one single source of truth.

I didn't realize C structs could have religious overtones ;-)

@JonB
It does, in PLC programming it stands for order in chaos.
A minimalistic well sorted complex data structure applicable to many objects with the same type of in and outputs.

@SGaist

It works now by the way :)
Thanks for hanging around!
