[SOLVED] Class does not name a type

[sharon_obl82]

Hi, can someone please help to look at this, I'm baffled as I did the same thing for two items and it worked for one but not the other. When I try to compile i get "RadioWindow does not name a type'

I have a Find window which will call Report and Radio window. It can open the Report window but not the Radio window.

Findform.h
@
#include <QMainWindow>
#include "radiowindow.h"
#include "reportwindow.h"

private:
Ui::Findform *ui;
RadioWindow *radiowindow_rf; //error RadioWindows does not name a type
Reportwindow *report_rf;

@

in Findform.cpp
@
void Findform::on_actionNew_Ctrl_N_find_triggered()
{
radiowindow_rf =new RadioWindow(this);
radiowindow_rf->setWindowIcon(QIcon(":/icons/radio.ico"));
radiowindow_rf->setWindowTitle("Radio - User Configuration Manager");
radiowindow_rf->show();
}

void Findform::on_actionReport_triggered()
{
report_rf =new Reportwindow(this);
report_rf->setWindowIcon(QIcon(":/icons/qt-icon80.ico"));
report_rf->setWindowTitle("Radio - User Configuration Manager");
report_rf->show();
}

@

I also have a form called radiowindow.h and radiowindow.cpp that calls Find window implemented with the same method, not sure if this would conflict it

radiowindow.h
@

#include "findform.h"
#include <QMainWindow>

private:
Ui::RadioWindow *ui;
RadioWindow *radiowindow_r;
Findform *find_r;
};
@

radiowindow.cpp
@
RadioWindow::RadioWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::RadioWindow)
{
ui->setupUi(this);

}
void RadioWindow::on_actionFind_triggered()
{
find_r=new Findform(this);
find_r->setWindowIcon(QIcon(":/icons/qt-icon80.ico"));
find_r->setWindowTitle("Radio - User Configuration Manager");
find_r->show();
find_r->setvalueFind();
}

You have a circural dependency: RadioWindow includes FindForm, and FindForm includes RadioWindow. You need to restructure your code.

sierdzio,
do you have any idea how I should restructure it ? :(
you see, the problem is, i call those windows via the menu like New (will call Radio Window), Find (will call Find window)

Here is a nice summary: "link":http://stackoverflow.com/questions/625799/resolve-circular-dependencies-in-c.

Or you can delegate opeing of FindWindow to MainWindow, and only emit a signal to do it from RadioWindow.
