Multiple UI Files Compile Error

tommygun

Hi.

I'm trying to edit an existing app for personal use which has 2 .ui files, but I'm getting one error when building a new project in Qt Creator.

Here a list of files in the project:

ExtendFrame.h
MiniFrame.h
ui_ExtendFrame.h
ui_MiniFrame.h

ExtendFrame.cpp
main.cpp
MiniFrame.cpp

ExtendFrame.ui
MiniFrame.ui

The Error is in MiniFrame.cpp

#include "MiniFrame.h"
#include "ui_MiniFrame.h"

miniplugin_bgwidget::miniplugin_bgwidget(QWidget *parent) :
    QWidget(parent),
    ui(new Ui::miniplugin_bgwidget)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);
}

miniplugin_bgwidget::~miniplugin_bgwidget()
{
    delete ui;
}

Error Message:

..\MiniFrame.cpp:8: error: no matching function for call to 'Ui::miniplugin_bgwidget::setupUi(miniplugin_bgwidget*)'
ui->setupUi(this);
^

In file included from ..\MiniFrame.cpp:2:0:

..\ui_MiniFrame.h:45: candidate: void Ui_miniplugin_bgwidget::setupUi(QFrame*)
void setupUi(QFrame *miniplugin_bgwidget)
^

..\ui_MiniFrame.h:45: note: no known conversion for argument 1 from 'miniplugin_bgwidget*' to 'QFrame*'.

Line 45 in ui_MiniFrame.h

void setupUi(QFrame *miniplugin_bgwidget)

Any advise how to fix this error would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Hmm it sounds like you first based your widget on QFrame and later edit files to
inherited QWidgets.
Maybe just try again and generate them?
normally it just works if you use the wizard.
