Error r....

Rquest for member show() is ambiguous //show in main .cpp

the code i hv wrritten is:

@class PainterApp : public QDialog,public QCalendarWidget
{
Q_OBJECT

public:
explicit PainterApp(QWidget *parent = 0);
~PainterApp();

private:
Ui::PainterApp *ui;
};
@
@void PainterApp::paintCell(QPainter * painter, const QRect & rect, const QDate & date ) const{

QRectF target(30.0, 40.0, 80.0, 60.0);
QRectF source(30.0, 40.0, 70.0, 40.0);
QImage image("C:/QTWork/back-icon.png");


painter->drawImage(target, image, source);
ui->calendarWidget->paintCell(painter,rect,date.currentDate());

}@

hello anshuman
bq. class PainterApp : public QDialog,public QCalendarWidget

this should in this way
class PainterApp : public QDialog,public Ui::Dialog//name of your form..

[ZapB]

That's because you are trying something that is not allowed and makes no sense when you think about it. The calendar widget will be shown within a dialog. The calendar widget is not a dialog. So use composition not inheritcance for the dialog aspect.

@
class MyCalendarWidget : public QCalendarWidget
{
...
protected:
virtual void paintCell(QPainter* painter, const QRectF& rect, const QDate& date)
{
// Do custom painting here!!! See base class for default implementation and ideas
}
};

...
...
...

class MyDialog : public QDialog
{
...
};

Hello ZapB

thanks for ur reply..

Actually when i use the code like that

class PainterApp : public QDialog,public Ui::Dialog//name of your form..

than error is

// invalid use of incomplete type struct Ui::PainterApp//my form name come..

and one more thing i hv calender widget present in QtDesigner..which means i havent create my own custom calender..

So do what I suggested and create one. You cannot override the paintCell() function if you do not have a sub-class of QCalendarWidget can you? This is basic C++.

ok ZapB I am sending my code u please check it..now no error signifies but nothing display in the cell..

@namespace Ui {
class PainterApp;
}
class MyCalendarWidget : public QCalendarWidget
{
private:
Ui::PainterApp ui;
protected:
virtual void paintCell(QPainter painter, const QRectF& rect, const QDate& date);

};
class PainterApp : public QDialog
{
Q_OBJECT

public:
explicit PainterApp(QWidget *parent = 0);
~PainterApp();

private:
Ui::PainterApp *ui;
private slots:

};@

@#include "painterapp.h"
#include "ui_painterapp.h"

PainterApp::PainterApp(QWidget *parent) :
QDialog(parent),
ui(new Ui::PainterApp)
{
ui->setupUi(this);

}
void MyCalendarWidget::paintCell(QPainter* painter, const QRectF& rect, const QDate& date)
{

rect(30.0, 40.0, 80.0, 60.0);
QImage image("C:/QTWork/back-icon.png");


painter->drawImage(rect, image, rect);
ui->calendarWidget->paintCell(painter,rect,date.currentDate());

}

A few issues for you to consider/fix:

Whay are your trying to change the rect passed into the paintCell() call. This is setup to tell you where to draw by the base class. Do not change it.

Why are you trying to include the ui for something totally unrelated into your sub-class of QCalendarWidget?

It seems you have no conceptual idea of how Qt widgets, dialogs, ui files etc relate to each other. I respectfully suggest that you go work through some of the many examples and tutorials shipped with Qt.

Qt Documentation and examples shipped with Qt are the best docs and materials for learning Qt I think.

[ZapB]

Launch the qtdemo application. Find an example that interests you. Launch it and then read the docs about it.

You can reffer to this link as an example http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwidgets-widgets-calendarwidget-example.html
