Unable to access members of same class, giving seg fault

I am trying to create a slot from object to other
frame to log , but both belongs to same class

when trying to access objects placed on log , they are becoming invalid.

how to solve the problem?

Code:

---

QWidget* ApplicationLog::createLogWindow()
{
  m_pCmdLogHL = new QHBoxLayout(this);
  m_pLogTE =    new QTextEdit(this);
  m_pCmdLogHL->addWidget(m_pLogTE);
}

---

Code:

---

QWidget* ApplicationLog::createFrameWindow()
{
    m_pButtonsHL = new QHBoxLayout(this);
    m_pMinMaxBut = new Button(this,"Minimize");
     connect(m_pMinMaxBut,SIGNAL(clicked()),this,SLOT(logWindowMinMax()));
m_bIsMaximize = 1;
}

---

Code:

---

void ApplicationLog::logWindowMinMax()
{
    qDebug()<<"slot invoked"  ;
    if(m_bIsMaximize)
      {
        m_pLogTE->setVisible(false);
        m_pMinMaxBut->setTooltip("Maximize");
        m_bIsMaximize = 0;
     }
    else
    {
       m_pLogTE->setVisible(true);       
       m_bIsMaximize = 1;
       m_pMinMaxBut->setTooltip("Minimize");
    }
}

---

in the main window i am calling

Code:

---

QWidget* frame = framewindow->createFrameWindow();
  QWidget* log = logwindow->createLogWindow();

---

this particular line is giving problem (segmentation)

Code:

---

m_pLogTE->setVisible(false);

---

why is it wrong to access that object,how to access the object?

No return statements in functions returning non-void:

Code:

---

QWidget* ApplicationLog::createLogWindow()
{
  m_pCmdLogHL = new QHBoxLayout(this);
  m_pLogTE =    new QTextEdit(this);
  m_pCmdLogHL->addWidget(m_pLogTE);
 // return !
}
 
QWidget* ApplicationLog::createFrameWindow()
{
    m_pButtonsHL = new QHBoxLayout(this);
    m_pMinMaxBut = new Button(this,"Minimize");
     connect(m_pMinMaxBut,SIGNAL(clicked()),this,SLOT(logWindowMinMax()));
m_bIsMaximize = 1;
// return !
}

Another thing, check if createLogWindow() is called before trying to access m_pLogTE object.

The OP's code won't even compile, much less execute, so obviously we are not seeing the whole story. As amleto says in every post:

If you have a problem, CUT and PASTE your code. Do not retype or simplify it. Give a COMPLETE and COMPILABLE example of your problem. Otherwise we are all guessing the problem from a fabrication where relevant details are often missing.
