using the parent-pointer

Hello.
This is probably more a C++ question than a pure QT, but anyway...

What I want is simply to adress a QObject, lets say the textEdit of the parent widget.
I want to get some respons from the server which is not connected to the Ui in any other way. I've looked in my c++-books for parent and parent-calls, but haven't found anything...

I eather get a:
server.cpp:15: error: insufficient contextual information to determine type
if i try to user parent.
or if I try to user the parent->
it tells me that its not a pointer type.

Code:

---

#include "server.h"
#include "client.h"
 
Server::Server(QObject *parent)
	: QTcpServer(parent)
{
}
 
void Server::incomingConnection(int socketId)
{
//here I want some kind of parent call...
 
}

You can access the parent of a QObject very simple via QObject::parent(). It returns a QObject.

OK. I'll try that. I Like the Smiley there.

Thanks!

Probably there is a lousy text parser that doesn't know it shouldn't add smileys in inside Qt classes names.

I complained against this sometime before and the forum admins fixed this while parsing text in CODE block. :) But they haven't fixed it for all cases yet :(
A better fix may be to convert text to smiley only if the text corresponding to smiley is whitespace separated.

Sorry for being offtopic.

Well, apparently it knows to parse entities in the form "ClassName::method()" because the links to Qt classes work. maybe because they are contained within QTCLASS -- /QTCLASS tags.

It shouldn't parse what is between code -- /code tags at all.
