      Hi
      What do you mean ?

      If you mean create another widget as window and there then
      have a buttons that close the
      current windows and shows MainWindow again.
      Then yes.

      You can also use dialogs and it will pop over the mainwin and when closed then
      mainwin is under.

      if you making something what would be like pages and do not really need to be windows, the
      stacked widget is also good.

          @Gillou_beginqt

          Well, you can show any window from any window.
          Have a look at this mini sample and tell me if that is what you mean or
          you have other needs.

                You can use "stacked widget" concept which do what you want.
                Please see the below documentation for more details.
                http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/qstackedwidget.html

                    @Gillou_beginqt Basically, stacked widget is a concept which will show either of the "page(or screen)" at a time. Create a widget project in Qt creator. Drag and drop the stacked widget item from the panel. Then in stacked widget, create your main window page followed by creating your sub window(s) as another page(s). In this way, while running your project, first your main window page will appear with your desired button. When you click on the button, set it to go to the next page (sub window) which also means that, the main window page will get disappear and new page will get displayed! . From your current window page, you can come back to your first page (Main window page) by click on "home" button clicked.

                        Hi
                        If you created UI files that are based on Widget as parent, you could
                        place a Widget on the stack page, and use the promote feature (right click)
                        to get the widgets into the stacked.

                          @mrjj I have 3 Pages 1 Qmainwindow and 2 sub windows Qwidget:

                          • Main window
                          • Movie widget
                          • Sport widget
                            I palced the QStackedWidget on my main waindow and placed all the widgets on page 1
                            On page 2 I promoted to a qwidget movie which is supposed to appear when you click on a button but nothing happens when I clicked

                            @Gillou_beginqt
                            and you switch to the page with
                            ui->stackedWidget->setCurrentIndex(1); ?

                            Sounds like you are almost there.
