How to get acess to a value from another dialog in mainwindow

[Azadshahr]

I have two QMainWindow in my app (ProcessList and MainWindow). ProcessList lists all running processes in my os in a QTableWidget. I wanted to select the PID in the QTableWidget and finally present it in my MainWindowApp dialog. How can I do that?

I have defined a signal in my processlist.h file like the following one:

signals:
    void pidAvailable(const int&);

Then I defined the following method which a cell (PID cell) selected, it emits PID number like the following:

void ProcessList::on_tableWidget_cellClicked(int row, int column)
{
    int pid = ui->tableWidget->item(row, column)->text().toInt();
    emit pidAvailable(pid);
}

Then, I have defined the following slot in my MainWindow:

public slots:
    void pidHandler(const int& arg_pid);

Its implementation:

void MainWindow::pidHandler(const int &arg_pid)
{
    ui->lineEditProcessID->setText(QString::number(arg_pid));
}

Also, I don't know how should I connect these two things together in my application. However, How should I do now?

What about

connect(processList, &ProcessList::pidAvailable, this, &MainWindow::pidHandler);

?

You need to have access to a pointer to ProcessList in MainWindow

You need a pointer named processList (or how you want to name it) in your MainWindow class.

At least one class needs to know about the other, otherwise you can not connect them.

Store a pointer to ProcessList window in MainWindow for example.
(Include processList.h and create member variable which holds pointer to processList)

Easiest way would be to create your processList inside MainWindow.

@Pl45m4 It compiled and run but I can't get the value emited and present it in my lineedit.

Debug and check what value your int has (assuming your connection is correct now) when emitting the signal.
You can pass int by value. You don't need to pass a reference.
