Communication b/w Dialog and MainWindow

chronix

Hey I was making a text editor! wanted add a find option in it! so i created a new dialog which pops up when someone clicks on find action! this dialog has a QlineEdit which takes in the word to searched! now i want this lineEdit text to update a QString which is declared in MainWindow.h!
but it doesn't work gives some token related error! is there an other way to do this?
~thanks! :)

Hi,

What's the exact error ?

You can also use "QInputDialog::getText":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qinputdialog.html#getText

This is regular c++. You declare your dialog with a lineedit and buttons like ok, cancel on stack
@
MyDialog dialog;
if (dialog.exec() == QDialog::Accepted) {
myMainDialogStringVar = dialog.ui->textEdit->text();
}
