Despair

help please! i am getting crashes at a trivial point where there should be no crashes and i can't understand why. I am afraid this is going to be rather long, simply because i will have to quote some stuff, probably you can read this from bottom (where i include a trace) to top.

i have one class cMassnahme, which is a subclass of QListWidgetItem and is initiated as a singleton.

the cMassnahme-objects are created by my mainwindow (MainWindow). There can be more than one cMassnahme object with different ids which seems to work.

(listMassnahmen is a QListWidgetItem which will be parent )

Code:

---

void MainWindow::fillMassnahmen() {
    QString sql="SELECT idMassnahme,bezeichnung FROM pMassnahmen";
    QSqlQuery query(sql,db);
    massnahmen.clear();
 
    cbMassnahme->insertItem(0,"--- please choose ---");
    int row = 1;
    while (query.next()) {
        QString id  = query.value(0).toString();
        QString bez = query.value(1).toString();
        cMassnahme* currMass = cMassnahme::self(id,listMassnahmen);
 
	// Fill a Combobox as well
        cbMassnahme->insertItem(row,currMass->getBezeichnung());
 
        // some QMaps to make sure i find my stuff again
        massnahmen[id]       = currMass;
        massnahmenIDs[id]    = row;
        massnahmeFromID[row] = currMass;
 
        row++;
    }
 }

---

later on i open a new window of the class ConfigWindow from MainWindow. I need a combobox that will allow me to choose between the massnahmen in this Window as well. to create this i have a very simple function:

Code:

---

void ConfigWindow::fillMassnahmen() {
	cbMassnahmen->insertItems(0,mw->getMassnahmenContent());
}

---

which should work, as mw is a pointer to the mainwindow-class. and the getMassnahmenContent() looks like this:

Code:

---

QStringList MainWindow::getMassnahmenContent() {
	QStringList list;
	int allM = cbMassnahme->count();
	for (int i=0;i<allM;i++) {
		list.insert(i,cbMassnahme->itemText(i));
	}
	return list;
}

---

up to this point everything seems to work. now while the combobox in ConfigWindow is filled this slot is called:

Code:

---

void ConfigWindow::on_cbMassnahmen_currentIndexChanged ( int index) {
    QLocale loc;
 
    currentMassnahme = mw->getMassnahmeFromRow(index);
    QString bez            = currentMassnahme->getBezeichnung();
    ...

---

the two functions here are rather simple as well. mw is a pointer back to the MainWindow, with the function

Code:

---

cMassnahme* MainWindow::getMassnahmeFromRow(int row) {
    return massnahmeFromID[row];
}

---

and the second line refering to this function:

Code:

---

QString cMassnahme::getBezeichnung() {
	return bezeichnung;
}

---

now, finally, the funny part: the application crashes in the last function! DrMingw gives me this trace:

any idea what should bother the application at this point?

What is the value of "index" when your program crashes? How many items there are in massnahmeFromID? How do you initialize it?

aarghss. it was so easy and once again i spend hours being blind. of course there is no reason for the program to crash where it did: the combobox will have "---please choose ---" as a first item, so index can be 0 but of course the QMap only has entries for rows that have a massnahme.
Thank you for your quick reply which got me to finally look at the right place.
