    How does one inherit MainWindow class into another class? It is labled as explicit.

    Is there a workaround?

      Hi,

      Simply by inheriting it like any other class.

      The explicit keyword doesn't forbid that at all

          @class YourClass : public QMainWindow
          {
          ....
          };@

            So the MainWindow class is the same as QMainWindow?

              which MainWindow class are you talking about?

                No, MainWindow is just a class name. Usually it's the name that QtCreator makes for you when you generate a new QtGui project. The MainWindow class will inherit the QMainWindow.

                  Right, that MainWindow class that QtGui generates is the class I want to inherit. How do I inherit MainWindow class?

                    The same way Jeroentje@home described.

                    Based on your questions ( "e.g. this thread":https://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/33488/ ), I would recommend you to have a look at Qt's example/demos/tutorials and documentation as well as a good book on C++. This will help you get started.

                      I know how to inherit in C++ but for some reason I get errors when I inherit MainWindow class.
