how to link 1st screen to next screen ?

[Nanda]

This is my code...
1. main.cpp

#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include "mainwindow.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
MainWindow w;
w.show();

return a.exec();
}


2. mainwindow.cpp (This is mainwindow.cpp file where i am connecting my 1st & 2nd button in textbox and in that window only the message is displaying)

#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :

QMainWindow(parent),

ui(new Ui::MainWindow)

{
ui->setupUi(this);

connect(ui->CarInternals,SIGNAL(clicked()),this,SLOT(CarIntern als_Clicked()));
connect(ui->TellTales,SIGNAL(clicked()),this,SLOT(TellTales_Cl icked()));

// connect(ui->CarInternals, SIGNAL(clicked()), setFocus, SLOT(setFocus()));

}

MainWindow::~MainWindow()

{
delete ui;
}

3. mainwindow.h (This is my header file)

#ifndef MAINWINDOW_H
#define MAINWINDOW_H

#include <QMainWindow>

namespace Ui {

class MainWindow;
}

class MainWindow : public QMainWindow

{
Q_OBJECT

public:
explicit MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0);

~MainWindow();


private slots:
void CarInternals_Clicked();
void TellTales_Clicked();
// void setFocus();

private:

Ui::MainWindow *ui;

};

#endif // MAINWINDOW_H


void MainWindow::CarInternals_Clicked()
{
ui->Message->setText( "Car Internals Button clicked ..." );

}

void MainWindow::TellTales_Clicked()
{
ui->Message->setText( "Tell Tales Button clicked ..." );
}

/*void MainWindow::setFocus(), SLOT(screen2.ui)
{

} */

4. mainwindow.ui (this is my 1st UI file.)

I want to connect my 1st UI screen which consists of the button "Car Internals" When i click on the "Car Internals button it shud go the next screen. i.e., screen2. Similarly I want to do foe all the buttons which i have shown in the mainwindow.ui file.

Hi i suggest you place your widget inside a stackedwidget , a stackedwidget consist of yr 5 pages. After which just set ui->stackedwidget->setCurrentIndex(---yr page number). :)

You can do this:

On the currentwindow.h
#include windowtopen.h

public slots:
void openwindowtoopen(); // Create a void function to open the window

private slots:
ClasstoOpen * windowVar; //Make a variable for the window to open

private slots:
void on_buttontoclick_clicked(); //Standar method, use the name of the button



......



Then go to currentwindow.cpp and using all the names u put in the .h file

add this :

void CurrentClass:: on_buttontoclick_clicked(){
openwindowtoopen();
}

void CurrentClass:: openwindowtoopen(){
close(); //This will close the current window, you can delete it if u want to keep it opened
windowVar = new ClasstoOpen (this);
windowVar->show(); -> This will show the new window
}



Now you will get ur window opened... if u closed the previous window, and then u want to call it back, you can do this:

on the windowuopened.h

private slots:

void on_buttontoopenclosedwindow_clicked();

..........

on the windowuopened.cpp

#include windowyouclosed.h

void ClassyouOpened:: on_buttontoopenclosedwindow_clicked(){

ClassyouClosed * windowYouClosed; //Declare a variable for the previous window

close(); //Closes the current window
windowYouClosed = new ClassYouClosed (this);
windowYouClosed->show(); //Shows the previous window

}

USe Stackwidget in .ui file of your project it will become very easy to you for understanding....
