The error is correct, you can not copy QObjects (and all QWidgets are QObjects).

My guess is that you have a copy constructor defined for ContentControl.

Try reinstalling Qt a couple more times and then fix your code when you are tired of doing that:)

The copy constructor is generated automatically if you don't prevent it manually (by declaring it private or via c++11 delete).

These are few (horrible) examples that could generate this error:
@
ContentControl c1;
ContentControl c2 = c1; // error

void someFunction(ContentControl) {...}
someFunction(c1); //error

ContentControl someFunc2() { return ContentControl; }
someFunc2(); //error
@
In short don't try to pass QObjects by value.

thanks for you reply the problem has solved when i delete ContentControl that send to another class.
