[SOLVED] calling a function outside of the dialog class
-
I'm assuming it's supposed to be called when you click the login button on the dialog. That's what I read from your code you posted.
Without a better synopsis of what you're trying to accomplish, it's very hard to figure out. There's a number of threads which are going simultaneously covering a number of issues.
I think that perhaps there's a fundamental flaw in the design and logic of what's going on in the app, so it makes it kind of a hard moving target.

yes, its supposed to be called when the user clicks the login button on the dialog. i have verified that the clicked function never gets called.
here is the mainwindow.cpp
@#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"
#include "loginbox.h"
#include <QRegExp>
#include <QSettings>
//#include <QTcpSocket>QString serverLineEdit;
QString userLineEdit;
int connect1 = 0;MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
ui->setupUi(this);
login = new loginBox(this);login->setModal(true);login->show();
connect(login, SIGNAL(click()), this, SLOT(clicked()));}
void MainWindow::clicked(){
QSettings settings("config.ini", QSettings::IniFormat);
serverLineEdit = settings.value("serverLineEdit").toString();
userLineEdit = settings.value("userLineEdit").toString();
connect1 = settings.value("ConnectToServer").toInt();
socket = new QTcpSocket(this);this->connect(socket, SIGNAL(readyRead()), this, SLOT(readyRead())); this->connect(socket, SIGNAL(connected()), this, SLOT(connected())); socket->connectToHost(serverLineEdit, 4200);}
@and the dialog.cpp
@#include "loginbox.h"
#include "ui_loginbox.h"
#include "mainwindow.h"
#include <QRegExp>
#include <QSettings>
int connect2;loginBox::loginBox(QWidget *parent) :
QDialog(parent),
ui(new Ui::loginBox)
{
ui->setupUi(this);
}loginBox::~loginBox()
{
delete ui;
}void loginBox::on_loginButton_clicked()
{
connect2 = 1;
//save the result of serverLineEdit to the config.ini file
QSettings settings("config.ini", QSettings::IniFormat);
settings.setValue("serverLineEdit", ui->serverLineEdit->text());
settings.setValue("userLineEdit", ui->userLineEdit->text());
settings.setValue("ConnectToServer", connect2);
this->close();}@

Overall design issues notwithstanding...
Make the connect immediately after the "new loginBox(this)". (Move it from line 22 to line 19 above)
But much more importantly, you also have to actually emit your click() signal in the dialog box. That needs to happen between lines 27 and 28 in dialog.cpp above.

If you're not intimately familiar with signals and slots, I highly recommend reading "this":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/signalsandslots.html overview. Please. :)
