[Solved] No access to QMainWindow
-
Hello,
I have a problem to use the function writeErrorMsg in errorMsg.h because of the use of the parameter MainForm in it. I don't why I can't use it like that..
The error is:
@error C2248: 'QMainWindow::QMainWindow' : cannot access private member declared in class 'QMainWindow'@And the code:
errorMsg.h:
@#include "mainform.h"
class errorMsg : public QObject
{
public:
errorMsg();
~errorMsg();
void writeErrorMsg(QString msg, QString type_msg, MainForm &Window);
};
@errorMsg.cpp:
@#include "errorMsg.h"
void errorMsg::writeErrorMsg(QString msg, QString type_msg, MainForm &Window)
{
QColor colorLine;if (type_msg=="type_error")
{
colorLine.setRgb(214,30,16);
}
Window.insertTextInErrorBrowser(msg, colorLine);
}@mainform.h:
@class MainForm : public QMainWindow
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
void insertTextInErrorBrowser(QString msg, QColor colorLine);
private:
Ui::MainForm *ui;
};@mainform.cpp:
@#include "mainform.h"
void MainForm::insertTextInErrorBrowser(QString msg, QColor colorLine)
{
ui->teErrorBrowser->moveCursor(QTextCursor::End);
ui->teErrorBrowser->setTextColor(colorLine);
ui->teErrorBrowser->setFontWeight(QFont::Bold);
ui->teErrorBrowser->insertPlainText(msg + "\n");
colorLine.setRgb(0,0,0);
ui->teErrorBrowser->setTextColor(colorLine);
}@Would anyone have an idea about what is wrong about that and how to fix it? Thank you in advance!

Hey again, are you still working on that? Just wondering how many topics you have created in the last weeks haha :D
Anyway I don't see any method definition in your MainForm.h for the function insertTextInErrorBrowser? You have defined a function "writeDateTimeErrorMsg" and in your cpp file your use insertTextInErrorBrowser with other parameter, is there any relation of the 2 functions.
You need to put a defintion for insertTextInErrorBrowser in your class, and it needs to be public if you want to call if from your errorMsg class (unless the class is a friend, but I don't want to confuse you with that). -
Hey, yeah the beginning code was not mine, and there was a lot of thing to understand, because I'm not an expert yet^^
Sorry, it is just a copy paste error, I copied the wrong function into the mainform.h. I corrected it now in the displayed code (insertTextInErrorBrowser)
-
Yeah lol if you make errors while copying your code it is hard to find the actual errors :D
Are you sure the code is as you copied it now? Because the function insertTextInErrorBrowser is definitely public and the error "cannot access private member" makes no sense, because it is public. so I guess in your code it is not declared public did you double check that? Would be the first thing you do if you see an error like this of course. -
Ah I just noticed it says "QMainWindow::QMainWindow" and that will be the constructor, and I don't see any in your MainForm!? Why did you remove that? if your create a new QMainWindow App Qt Creator will generate the constructor for your, usually. :D
it should look like
@
// header
explicit MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0);
// implementation
MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
ui->setupUi(this);
}

I just didn't write it because I didn't want to write 3 pages of code. It is not cool to read that for you :)
mainform.h:
@public:
explicit MainForm(QWidget *parent = 0);
~MainForm();@mainform.cpp:
@MainForm::MainForm(QWidget *parent)
: QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::MainForm)
{
ui->setupUi(this);
}MainForm::~MainForm()
{
delete ui;

ok well it's hard to debug your code if you get error slike that and can see the code you know :D
Anyway the error message should tell you at what line the syntax error is found, can your provide the code around those lines? QMainWindow::QMainWindow can onyl be a constructor so I have no idea what you did, I see you use MSVC sometimes that gives weird error and I try to compile the app with MinGW on windows, that sometimes help to identify errors if you use 2 different compilers and compare the errors messages. :) -
I don't know, at first I would say your try to copy the QMainWindow, which is not possible with Qt, QObjects cannot be copied that is why the copy constructor might be private, the copy constructor QMainWindow::QMainWindow.
But you are using a reference "MainForm &Window" so that can't copy it, where do you get the reference from? Maybe use a real pointer in this case, the Qt framework uses pointers in such cases, and only const references , this again is where c++ gets complicated with pointers, left value references, r-value references and stuff like that it can get confusing. :(
