How can I get instance of FileManager from QMainWindow in Qt Creator?

[mrsomeonee]

Hello all, I noticed that there's Core::FileManager *fileManager() const; public function in MainWindow.h and .cpp files. It returns instance of fileManager. But how do I get instance of main window?
PS. Core::ICore::instance()->mainWindow() returns instance of QMainWindow.

You ask two different questions:

How can I get instance of FileManager from QMainWindow in Qt Creator?
Sorry, but I have no idea of what FileManager could be. Ask the code author.

But how do I get instance of main window?
PS. Core::ICore::instance()->mainWindow() returns instance of QMainWindow.
Then try to qobject_cast this instance.

What files ? Is it some kind of your personal project ? If yes, then how should we know anything about it ?

It's a source of a Qt creator. I am making a plugin for Qt creator.

Ok, so have you tried to use qobject_cast on the QMainWindow instance ?

Why don't you post your questions in a proper sub-forum then?

The ICore interface defines a ICore::fileManager() accessor in exactly the same way it defines mainWindow():


FileManager *fm = ICore::instance()->fileManager();
