AddSubWindow() doesn't work

[Higgs]

I have simple MainWindow. MdiArea is in it. I can't create more small mdichild.
code of MainWindow constructor:

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
ui->setupUi(this);
mdiArea = new QMdiArea;
setCentralWidget(mdiArea);
MdiChild *one = CreateChild();
MdiChild *two = CreateChild();
mdiArea->addSubWindow(one);
mdiArea->addSubWindow(two);

connect(ui->actionNew_Document,SIGNAL(triggered()),this,SLOT(C reateNewDocument()));


}


MdiChild* MainWindow::CreateChild()
{
MdiChild *newChild = new MdiChild;
static int count = 0;

newChild->setWindowTitle(QString("%1 - %2").arg(count++).arg("Document"));

return newChild;

}
void MainWindow::CreateNewDocument()
{
mdiArea->addSubWindow(CreateChild()); //This doesn't work
}


I commented "mdiArea->addSubWindow(CreateChild());" and added QMessageBox and that worked. so slot function is executed. but can't figure out why addSubWindow doesn't work.

When I press New Document action,new window doesn't appear.

Have you tried calling show() on the new window?

I have tried but window is being immedietly closed as I see. But I can't understand why we need "show" method.
I haven't call show method here:

MdiChild *one = CreateChild();
MdiChild *two = CreateChild();
mdiArea->addSubWindow(one);
mdiArea->addSubWindow(two);

Code in CreateNewWindow I changed to:

void MainWindow::CreateNewDocument()
{
QWidget *xx = new QWidget;
xx->show();
mdiArea->addSubWindow(xx);
}


But window is dissappeared immedietly and I don't know why.




P.S Sorry for my English language mistakes. It's my second language.

Those are created in the constructor, i.e. before their parent is shown. They get shown when their parent is.
Windows created afterwards are not automatically shown but when requested.

About about calling show on the MDI window?



mdiArea->addSubWindow(CreateChild())->show();

Not my first language either :)

Thank you for your reply.
I was nearly near with solution :D
I at first wrote this:

mdiArea->addSubWindow(CreateChild()->show());
