Access statisBar from member function

[MatFox]

Hello QT-world,

how can I access the statusbar in my mainwindow from any member or nonmember function. I have no clue how do accomplish that. It exceeds my actual knowledge base.
This is what I have so far:

QtDemo::QtDemo(QWidget *parent) : QMainWindow(parent)
{
QWidget *widget = new QWidget;
...
// set a message into staticBar
statusBar()->showMessage(any_message);
...
any_function();
}

void QtDemo :: any_function()
{
QtDemo *n;
n->statusbar->showMessage(...); // does not work, not that member showMessage() !!
...
}

Who has the right solution?
Best wishes
MatFox

Hi and welcome to devnet,

@MatFox said in Access statisBar from member function:

void QtDemo :: any_function()
{
QtDemo *n;
n->statusbar->showMessage(...); // does not work, not that member showMessage() !!
...
}

Why are you creating n in the first place ?
Just do the same thing you did in the constructor.

Hi SGaist,

what do you mean? Could you be more specific?
Do mean QtDemo* n = new ... ; etc.

Well, why are you creating a local pointer to a QtDemo object within a method that is part of QtDemo ?
