HOw to display new windows

ifewalter

now that has been corrected. same compilation error

undefined reference to formb::formb(QWidget*)

now maybe we address the mem. leak issue, could that be the cause?
the the parent thing. can you give any hint?

Zlatomir

formb class seems ok

So try from the Build menu: Clean All, Run qmake then Rebuild

Or manually delete the auto-generated files then rebuild.

And you can give the parent too, like this:
@
void forma:: on_ButtonName_clicked()
{
formb *j = new formb(this); //the forma will be the parent of formb

j->showMaximized();

}

you know funny thing is i've tried that parenting suggestion you justst gav, but it gave same error. I'll try the build thing again when i get home.

Or maybe just reinstall qt. I the vode is seemingly ok.
But that will be when i get home. I'm currently in transit from school.

Zlatomir

You don't need to reinstall Qt, that won't solve the problem
Also the parent isn't a solution for this compile error

If you give a parent you will also need to tell Qt that you want formb to be a new window, this is because your formb inherits from QWidget and not from QMainWindow or QDialog.
So complete code for slot is:
@
void forma:: on_ButtonName_clicked()
{
formb *j = new formb(this);
j->setWindowFlags(Qt::Window); //this way you show your QWidget as a new window and pass a parent

j->showMaximized();

}
@
Put something inside formb and see without that line where it will appear

ifewalter

thank you. I'll be sure to try that too and let you know what happens

Are formb.h and formb.cpp added to your project file?

The error message

bq. undeclared reference formB::formB(QWidget*).

leads me to the guess that formb.cpp is not compiled at all.

You can post your .pro file, we can check.

ifewalter

tried all the above, same problem. Thanks guys. I'll like to concentrate my efforts on something else for now.

goetz

Your setup is broken, the classes you have showed us are not complete (and erroneous too - wrong destructor name in forma.h). There's no chance to solve the problem from here.

Good luck with your further debugging efforts.

Same problem here. Simulator build/run ok and Device build not.

@
void MainWindow::on_actionAbout_triggered()
{
DialogAbout about(this);
about.exec();
}
@

ifewalter,

I was searching into log to discover some issue and found this:

@Configuration unchanged, skipping qmake step.@

I don't know why, but my dialog was not included in Makefile, because qmake creates the makefile, and it is not running!!!!

Solution: manual delete the Makefile (in your project dir). Doing a rebuild..... Voi lá.

What exactly is the error?
just posting code is not very helpful and will not result in too many answers...

Gerof,

I've create a application, add a Dialog and write a code to show the dialog. Simple.
Compiling for simulator ok, but for device gives me an error (the same problem of first post):

I don't know what cause this. But Volker writes a clue:

[quote author="Volker" date="1296165540"]Are formb.h and formb.cpp added to your project file?

The error message

He was right: my dialogabout class was not compiling.

I've posted my .pro, but I know that information is not sufficient to resolve my problem.
So I decided to invetigate the log to find references of my class. But the first lines of log says:
