Hi @beqa

What about adding showEvent function on your promoted widget source ?

Yes it is.
You cannot acces newwindows ui directly so other option is to add
access function for what you want to do to the Widget from outside

void newWindow::setSomeText( ... ) {
ui->widget->setText(..)
}

and then

newWindow->setSomeText("whatever");
newWindow->show();

That helps keep the code going too spaghetti and all the outside needs to know about
newWindow is what it can set or get for others. The outside should not know anything from ui::
as it makes better code.

Yes, i think that it is called when you call newWidnow->show() just before rendering the widget on your screen

Non-spontaneous show events are sent to widgets immediately before they are shown
