    Default about qtabwidget and parenting

    Hi, im developing a small desktop application from my ubuntu qtCreator.. and ive having an error im not able to solve.

    this is the relevant code:
    Qt Code:
    1. QWidget *nw = new QWidget();
    2. std::string final = "some text here";
    3. QLabel *lblText = new QLabel(QString::fromStdString(final));
    4. QVBoxLayout *mainLayout = new QVBoxLayout;
    5. mainLayout->addWidget(lblText);
    6. nw->setLayout(mainLayout);
    7. ui->tabNews->addTab(nw, tr("Confirmation"));
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    the error is:
    QObject::setParent: Cannot set parent, new parent is in a different thread

    ive previosly done a custom widget on a ui file and tried to load it on that tab with the same result and tried to create the widget on the same class where this window is created... with the same result.

    Can anyone see the problem with this little code? :S im not explicitelly using threads on the view layer...

    That code doesn't look like it would generate that warning.

    But just in case, make sure you are not executing that code in a thread other than the one executing QApplication::exec()

    Cheers,

    thats why i though.
    Not a single thread is involved on the entire process.
    The flux is as follows:
    main.cpp:
    Qt Code:
    1. Core *core = new Core(os);
    2. core->iniciar();
    3. return a.exec();
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    core.cpp:
    Qt Code:
    1. bi = new Interface();
    2. gif = new GUIInterfaceFactory();
    3. bi->setGUIInterface(gif);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Interface.cpp:
    Qt Code:
    1. gi = gif->getGUIInterface(this);
    2. gi->getLoggedIn();
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    GUIInterface.cpp:
    Qt Code:
    1. cw = new ChatWindow();
    2. cw->show();
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    and finally ChatWindow.cpp contains the code i posted on the first post. As u can see, i did not manually create a single thread on the entire process.
    If u are interested u can see most of the code ad http://sourceforge.net/p/rm-navi/code/ci/master/tree/ but is pretty big

    problem & solution:
    After some hours working on it, i saw that the problem was on the call. I did a smaller project and worked on it to proof the failure.
    the problem is ive got a server with some thread, all petition received by this server is heared throught an interface on the main thread and this interface is who manages the GUI. So i think that little code call to be processed on the thread where is called and not where it was originally defined.
    As solution: just use signals.
