object handling issue

[prolink007]

Hello,

I was wondering if you guys could help me out. Here is what i am trying to do...

I am needing to create an instance of an object. And i need all my other objects to have access to this object. I need to create the instance of the object in my "mainwindow".

So basically, "mainwindow" is going to have a button. The user clicks the button and a dialog pops up. They put in some input and then the dialog needs to use the object that was created in "mainwindow" to apply some changes. I figured i could just pass the object to the dialog box class... but i dont know how to do that in qt. I am using the gui to create my dialogs and mainwindow. If i need to clarify this, let me know. I would prefer not to post any code, since this is a very general question... should be easy to just answer with some code examples or something.

Thanks in advance.

If you have your own dialog class, then just add some method like void setMyObject(MyObject &obj) and call it before dialog.exec();
But if you want to access this object in many different places and there would be only one instance of it in whole application, then I suggest using Singleton pattern.
