Call function from one form in another

[Shivam Sharma]

Hello

I have a function that generates values in one form. Now i want to call that function on a second form to display on the second ui. Can anyone tell me if there is a method to do this?

The correct method in Qt are signals/slots: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/signalsandslots.html
Connect signal from first form to a slot in second form. And emit the signal in first form if it generated something.

Show code attempt.

At the end of the day won't it be:

connect(form1_instance, &form1_signal, form2_instance, &form2_slot);

You will need to write that code in a module which includes both form1.h & form2.h. That might potentially be either form1.cpp or form2.cpp, or perhaps you have a mainwindow.cpp which includes both form1.h & form2.h.
