@
QPushButton *pb=new QPushButtton("button", analysis);
layout->addWidget(pb);
pb.show();

regarding the layout: is it defined else where? or you want to add to parent widget layout() property? it's readonly.

Why haven't you set any parent of your QPushButton? Do you delete it manually?

Please have a look at "this basic tutorial how to use QPushButton":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/How_to_Use_QPushButton as it might help you.

Putting it in a layout takes care of that automatically, as the layout will reparent any widget to its own parent widget.

It's okay not to set a parent, when you use a layout as it reparents added widgets. It is more likely that you're using a pointer without creating an object, like layout. P.S. Use a debugger

[rokemoon]

Did you create object layout or just define it?
Like this:
@
//define layout without layout = new QVBoxLayout();
QLayout *layout;
//bla bla
//and then
layout->addWidget(button);

It will be simpler to know where the segfault is generated. Try debugging each line or place some qDebug() in your code to understand at which line it happens. Usually the problem means you are trying to access an object you haven't created or you have already destroyed.

Oh, exactly I've forgot about debug.
@sri438 just press F5 in QtCreator and you'll see where this error happens.
