[SOLVED]Add custom widget to layout?

[ealione]

I have created a custom widget that is based on QTextEdit

@class MyWidget : public QTextEdit
{@

and now I want to add a method for showing this widget, but trying

@QWidget *myWidget = new QWidget;
QGridLayout *myLayout = new QGridLayout;
MyWidget customWidget(myWidget);
myLayout->addItem(customWidget); // or addWidget, same result
myWidget->setLayout(myLayout);
myWidget->show();@

results in the error

@error: no matching member function for call to 'addItem'
myLayout->addItem(customWidget);
~~~~^@

How can I show my custom QWidget?

Create customWidget on heap too (it's the recommended way to create the child widgets):
@
QWidget *myWidget = new QWidget;
QGridLayout *myLayout = new QGridLayout;

MyWidget* customWidget = new MyWidget(myWidget);

myLayout->addItem(customWidget);

Hello,

customWidget should be a pointer.

Try something like this:

@MyWidget* customWidget = new MyWidget(myWidget);
myLayout->addWidget( customWidget );
