[SOLVED] [Qt::WidgetAttribute] Qt::WA_DeleteOnClose crashing the program

[valandil211]

Hello Qt Devs!

I have a MainWindow which instantiates a subclassed MainWindow, called DataEntryWindow. This DataEntryWindow is instantiated with some arguments that come from the MainWindow.

So, each time I close the DataEntryWindow, I want the instance to be deleted. However, each time I use:

@ dataentrywindow.setAttribute(Qt::WA_DeleteOnClose, true); @

the program crashes each time I call close. Any idea why that wouldl happen? Do you need any code, or it this a general situation?

Thanks!

a compilable, as small as possible example would be good.

[valandil211]

Here are the two source files, stripped of any extra data. Can't can compilable, as it is connected to a DB and pretty much everything depends on the DB.

I tried messing with the destructor, didn't change anything. I'm thinking of creating a slot that deletes the _instance and sets it to 0 instead of using the aforementioned attributed.

EDIT: The slot idea doesn't work.
Thanks!

try something like this ...
@
DataEntryWindow::~DataEntryWindow()
{
_instance->deleteLater();
}
@
and make some slot connected to QObject::destroyed() signal. In this slot set _instance = NULL;

This looks like something that is created on stack. It will be deleted when the variable goes out of scope. You don't need to set delete on close on it. If you need it, create the data entry window differently:

@DataEntryWindow *dew = new DataEntryWindow(this);
dew->setAttribute(Qt::WA_DeleteOnClose, true);@

That should do it.

Thanks guys, it worked!
