Hello,
I am creating a simple widget application with a button. my intent is to execute a c code which is in separate file (simple.c) on the button click . Kindly help.

Not sure if this is doable or not

It is. See https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qprocess.html

Like @jsulm says if you mean you compile that simple.c into some runnable external program.

But if by "separate file (simple.c)" you simply mean the code you want executed happens to be in a separate C file, but nothing to do with a separate program/executable, then you need to integrate simple.c into your Qt source project.
