Effective way to duplicate a widget display
-
I am trying to make a simplified actions window in my software, so the most important actions and settings are over there, but the problem i am encountering is the fact, that in order to do that, i have to make significant amount of slots and signals, so i wanted to ask if there's any better way to do that?
I am not aware of any way to duplicate the display of a widget, so it's drawn at 2 places, but the actual pointer/widget is actually the same, so the most effective way i know would be new widget, and connect them together, but is it the only way to do that?

You can simply create two instances of that widget.

displayed at the same time ? no thats not possible, afaik
but you can take your widget, remove it from its layout and insert it in an other layout, no problem at all.

The "same" (same memory) widget can't be at 2 places at the same time.
QObjectsare also not copyable.
You would need to create a new instance, but you can connect them to the same slot, without writing the same code more than once.
