Closing QMainWindow

[kalwi]

I would close QMainWindow, when QDialog don't return QDialog::Accepted. I tried this->close(); and qApp->quit(); but it doesn't work. I would like run destructor while closing main window to delete pointers. Any ideas? I tried implement void closeEvent(QCloseEvent* event), but I don't know how do it correctly (remember about destructor).

Have the dialog emit a signal when the "cancel" button is clicked. Set up a connection from the signal to the slot in the mainwindow where you called the dialog to a slot in the mainwindow where you can call quit();

I tried this->close();
We have know idea what object this is.


and qApp->quit(); but it doesn't work.

Sure it does. You need to produce evidence of your claim.

This is unrelated. The destructor is run when the object is destroyed (by scope or explicit delete; except in cases of termination for unhandled exceptions). A typical QMainWindow instance is stack allocated and destroyed when it goes out of scope after the main program event loop exits. The event loop exits when qApp->quit() is called or (typically) when the last top-level window is hidden (closed).

I tried implement void closeEvent(QCloseEvent* event), but I don't know how do it correctly (remember about destructor).
closeEvent() has nothing to do with the destructor of the object. The QWidget::closeEvent() docs show exactly how to use it. The Application Example shows it in a complete application.

Reduce your program to a small, single file, complete program that demonstrates the problem and post it here.
