Need help with basic C++

[arturs]

I need help again.

I created a class "Count" there are some methods,argument etc.

In MainWidnow I created table of Objects
"
Count number[15];

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
ui->setupUi(this);

}

From MainWidnow object I created new object preview

"
void MainWindow::on_actionActionpreview_triggered()
{

preview = new Preview(this);
preview->setModal(true);
preview->get_path(&filename);
preview->exec();

}"

I would like to see "number object" which I created in MainWindow from "preview". How to do it ?


I hope I described my problem clearly.

Please use
... tags around code.

Where is the numbers[] array declared?
How have you tried to access it?
How has that failed?

Have you considered explicitly passing the number array to the preview object ?

I have the following Count class



count.h

class Count
{

private:

bool table[19][8];

QString line

public:

int start_line,end_line,alarm_lines; start_line,end_line,alarm_lines;
};

in MainWindow.cpp

I create new objects "Count number [15]" this way



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

Count number[15];

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{

ui->setupUi(this);

}



and in one of methods MainWindows I create new Object




void MainWindow::on_actionActionpreview_triggered()
{

preview = new Preview(this);
preview->setModal(true);
preview->exec();


}


In the method void Preview::on_pushButton_clicked() I would like to change start_line in object number[0]



#include "preview.h"
#include "ui_preview.h"
#include <QDebug>
#include "mainwindow.h"

Preview::Preview(QWidget *parent) :
QDialog(parent),
ui(new Ui::Preview)
{

ui->setupUi(this);


}


void Preview::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
number[0].start_line = 5;
}



but during compilation I have the following error :" 'alarm' was not declared in this scope"


What are the possibilities to change the start line for the number [0] ?

Regards
Artur

The error message has nothing to do with your question.
Where is the code that tries to use a variable/name "alarm"? The error message from the compiler will have the file and line number.

Since you are allocating an array of your Count class outside of any class definition, you're are creating a global variable, which you should generally try to avoid doing. You should move that to make your Count array a member variable in your MainWindow class IMHO.

Sorry I made a mistake. I mean number not alarm and I would like to use it in the code



#include "preview.h"
#include "ui_preview.h"
#include <QDebug>
#include "mainwindow.h"

Preview::Preview(QWidget *parent) :
QDialog(parent),
ui(new Ui::Preview)
{

ui->setupUi(this);


}


void Preview::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
number[0].start_line = 5;
}

The easiest way of having two classes share access to data is to pass a reference or pointer to that variable from the the object that created the variable to the other object.
In your case passing a reference or point to "number" as a constructor argument of "Preview".

Could you give me an example this method and other method which are possible ?
