How to access objects of parent Dialog from Child Dialog .
-
imrrk, as you have been told in your calendar thread: the best way is to make sure that you have a clear interface between different objects in your application. That is: don't try to reference (or connect to) internals of one object from another one. Instead, expose the parts you need to expose at the interface of the classes. In this case, that means that your first class (the one with the label) gets a slot setLabel(const QString& text), and that the second class (with the button) gets a corresponding signal. You connect the two at a place where you have references to both the objects. This way, it doesn't matter what happens internally in either class, and you can change that however you like. You can replace the label by some other kind of widget, or you can change the kind of UI you choose for changing it. However, the programming interface: the public slot and signal in the classes's interfaces, can remain the same.

imrrk,
perhaps you should try to get one of the really good books from the books page of the "wiki":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Books_and_Links_for_learning_C_and_advanced_topics and read it. How to make signals and slots and how to make dialogs is basic Qt.
I suggest this one: Summerfield et.al: C++ GUI Programming with Qt 4
It explains many of your questions here on dev net and is really god.

hello ,if I have written same signals for two differnt slots
@
connect(ui->calendarWidget,SIGNAL(clicked(QDate)),this,SLOT(showdate(QDate)));
connect(ui->calendarWidget,SIGNAL(clicked(QDate)),this,SLOT(showset(QDate)));
@and from the theory it is written that it will that slots will be called in order in which they are called,but my case they are getting called at once..so whether i have gone wrong?
[EDIT: code formatting, Volker]

hello andre,I have taken a calendar widget and text browser in my first dialog,so on click(Qdate )signal ,i have written a slot for showing the text on browser,then again on click(Qdate) I have written one more slot where it opens a new dialog..so when a user clicks for the firsttime a date is displayed in textbrowser,but when he clicks the second time he is directed to new dialog,but in my case both conditions are happening at the same click and not on 2 clicks,
regards

That is how it should be. You made two connections. Each of the two connected slots are executed for each time the signal is fired. That means that on the first click, you will get both slots executed (in order), and on the second click they will both get executed again.

Re-think your UI so that performing an action on a date will result in the same effect the first time as it does the second time, for instance. I find it weird that you want to display one dialog the one time, and another one the second time. What would happen the third time? Or the tenth?
That is: unless your dates display some kind of visual state to differentiate them. But then, that is something you can use for differentiating between the actions you want to perform as well.

hello friends,I have a doubt,Now when i click on any date in calendar widget,I have written slot so as to show the date in a textbrowser as shown in code below
@void Dialog::on_Date_Clicked(QDate date)
{
ui->TextBrowser->setText(date.toString());}@
Now again when i click on selected date I want to open a newdialog
so on first click it shows the date in browser and on secondclick it should open a dialog..
so how should i proceed..regards

imrrk[/quote]Well, one way might be to compare the current content of the text browser with the string representation of the date that was clicked. If they match, then you open the dialog, if they don't, you only set the textual representation of the date in the text browser. Or one of the many, many other ways (most of them better structured than this one) you can do this.
imrrk, this is reall, really basic programming. I would recommend you do some kind of basic programming course, or at least get yourself a good book on the topic at beginners level.
