<![CDATA[this->close is not working correctly]]>Hey,
I have a problem whereas I know this->close closes the current window
I have created a another window in qt and I have to close the another window when user press a button but what happen is that it's close the current window as well as mainwindow and I only want to close the current one.
Here is the piece of code

  if(!exist(new_player,out_dup)){
out << new_player;
file.flush();
file.close();
this->close();

'Thanks in advance

You dont need to "convert" anything. QMainWindow is just a regular QWidget, extended with QToolBars and other stuff.
So you can pass a parent QWidget to the c'tor.

For example you could create both widgets in your main.cpp, pass the parent with the MainWindow c'tor and show the Login form.

Edit:
I'm assuming you what to do something like this, since your 2nd widget is called Login.:

There are so many examples out there...
(If you do it like this, they both can be independent widgets. Then you dont even need a parent / child relation. It's all about a good design / structure.)

Move it out of the ctor, check the return value and oen (or not) the mainwindow afterwards.

Are your this window and the other window in a parent / child relation? If you close the parent, the child window may also get closed together with it.

 ui->setupUi(this);
    QGuiApplication::setQuitOnLastWindowClosed(false);
    Login log;
    log.setModal(true);
    log.exec();

I set it false but then also it the behaviour didn't changed

How do you know? :-)

Since the default is true and I'm pretty sure it's not modified here.

Yes since it was not set to false :)

How do you know? :-)

So, is this property set to true?

Yes since it was not set to false :)

So, is this property set to true?

If you only have one top level widget visible and close it, then the application will stop. As @Christian-Ehrlicher already pointed out, it's the normal behaviour.

13:41:39: E:\Qt in c++\Projects in Qt\build-BlackJack-Desktop_Qt_6_0_4_MinGW_64_bit-Debug\debug\BlackJack.exe exited with code 0

as well as I have checked whether after this->close run does the controller comes to main window or not by checking it using qDebug()<<

How does it behave if you do not hide the main window?

The all works as expected:

ui->setupUi(this);
    this->hide();
    Login log;
    log.setModal(true);
    log.exec();
    this->show();

And well I did think that the program crashed because the application output show that the program exited with code(0) means runs successfully

How does the main window create the other window? Does it do anything when other window us closed?
Also: is it possible that your app is simply crashing?

this->close();

So "this" is here the "other window", not main window?
