get Parent Pointer

[raphaelf]

Hello everybody,

QT:4.1.1

How could i get my parent Pointer?

I tryed this:
login.cpp


(MainWindow*)parent).insertTables();


ERROR:


login.cpp:63: error: argument of type `QObject*(QObject::)() const' does not mat
ch `MainWindow*'


I want to get the pointer to call a function of MainWindow. I open LoginDialog like this:


void MainWindow::openLoginDialog()
{
LoginDialog l(this);
l.exec();

}


Have somebody a idea how to get the Parent Pointer?

Try:

((MainWindow*)parent())->insertTables();

and how ugly is that... :)

A less ugly one would be:


MainWindow *p = qobject_cast<MainWindow*>(parent());
if(p){
// ...
}
or even

MainWindow *p = dynamic_cast<MainWindow*>(parent());
if(p){
// ...
}

Or using signal/slot mechanism so that dialog wouldn't need to even know about some "MainWindow".. Who knows :)
