[Solved] Self contained objects

Eddy

I think you are mixing up things. parent is not the same as inheriting from...

@Dialog::Dialog(QWidget *parent) :
QDialog(parent), // this can be a QMainWindow
ui(new Ui::Dialog)@

The dialog class is derived from QDialog. You could use a QmainWindow for that of course.

Hi Alfah,

You are lucky I came back here. I notice you have added a question in your previous post. Please use the "Post a reply" editor to ask more questions, otherwise we probably will not see them. ;)

Anyway about your second question :

bq. 2. When i run application on C7, it jus fills half the screen, is it cuz Dialog has widget as parent?. Can this be solved by making QMainWindows as the parent of Dialog

I didn't see until now you were using mobile.
It's better to use a mobile based project instead of the GUI one I suggested you before. In that case your window will be maximized automatically for you. I tested it with Symbian^3 and the emulator since I don't have a C7. But the general principles you learned are the same.

oops sorry :)

I tried to create a new application jus like the example with MainWindow.cpp,MainWindow.ui and MainWindow.h and form1.cpp,form1.ui,form1.h.

These are of QMainWindow. I have pulled in a tabwidget into MainWindow.ui.
The problem is im not able to use tabWidget.
u;.tabwidget is not recognized :( :(
when ui-> is typed i get only options like centralWidget,MainWindow.

So im stuck. Feel like its some silly error

:(

Eddy

bq. The problem is im not able to use tabWidget.

have you other projects open in Qt Creator? Close them and try to use ui. again. I noticed Qt Creator sometimes looks in other ui files which have been opened.

I have filed a bug report "QTCREATORBUG-5730":https://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTCREATORBUG-5730 for this behaviour .

I you encounter that too, please vote for it to get it resolved.

Great!

To vote you have to register first. unfortunately you cannot use the same username and password as in the devnet forum.

bq. i closed and opened the creator and I got the widgets!!!!

did you have any other projects open in Qt Creator? I ask to analyse a bit more when this occurs.

And could you please set the title to solved by editing it and adding [Solved] in front of it?

alfah

:) i had the testalfah project opened along with my new project :)
But even after closing the testalfah project I could not get the widgets.

Eddy

bq. But even after closing the testalfah project I could not get the widgets.

Thanks for the feedback.
