[SOLVED]how do you declare a custom class in mainwindow.h?

Duncan

Greetings!

How do you declare an object in mainwindow.h so you can use the classes' object properties in functions in mainwindow.cpp?
The error I am receiving is "mainwindow.cpp:34: error: no matching constructor for initialization of 'Character'
test = new Character(this);
^ ~~~~

mainwindow.h

#ifndef MAINWINDOW_H

Thanks for your help!!!

Hi and welcome to devnet,

How and where is Character declared?
Which kind of constructors are defined for that class"?
Have you included the header file?

Duncan

Thanks for the quick reply!

I have included the character class and I will update the mainwindow files in a sec.

Thanks again,

Duncan

@Duncan said:

//Character PCOne(this);
//Character *PC7 = new Character(this);
Character PCOne;
Character NPCOne;
// PCOne = new Character(this);

Your Character class constructor doesn't take any argument so I guess you had the error when building your project with PC7 or PCOne, right ?

Duncan

Thanks for the reply SGaist!!

I had to start a new project and create QObject classes in order to access the data in my declared objects :P

The Character class works great when its a QObject class, should i be doing it this way??

Thanks for the help!

SGaist

It depends: do you need any feature of QObject in that class ?

Duncan

Not exactly sure, changing this post to Solved!

Thanks for your help!
