Problems with copy constructor

[Cruz]

Hello,

I derived my own class from QFrame and now I can't put it into a QList. It complains about the copy constructor of QFrame being private.



class KeyFrame : public QFrame
{
int id;
public:
KeyFrame(QWidget *widget);
virtual ~KeyFrame();
int getId();
}


main
{
KeyFrame kf(ui.someWidget);

QList<KeyFrame> frameBuffer;
frameBuffer.append(kf); // BOOM
}

/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.4.3/include/QtGui/qframe.h:136: error: ‘QFrame::QFrame(const QFrame&)’ is private

What should I do now? I HAVE to subclass some Widget to override the paintEvent() method and I would really like to use the nice Qt Collections.

Thanks

QObject, the base class of QWidget, cannot be copied. You can store pointers, not values.
