Pass variable from a form to another form

[dark1988]

How to pass a value in the textbox from a form to another textbox in another form..

Thanks in advanced...

You can use the signal and slot mechanism for this. On the click of submit button in form1, emit a signal with the value in the textbox. Connect this signal to a slot in the form2 and get the value there.

ParentWindow a,b;
QObject::connect(&a, SIGNAL(valueChange(QString)),
&b,SLOT(setValues(QString)));

I am novice but my way is:

principal.cpp

void Principal::on_pushButton_facturacion_clicked()
{
  Facturacion *form_factu = new Facturacion;   //Create new form with other class
  form_factu->show(); 
 
  QObject::connect(form_factu, SIGNAL(cambia(str_remote)), this, SLOT(muestramenu(str_local)));   //Connect when is emit signal cambia in the child form and pass the string to local function
}
 
void Principal::muestramenu(QString str_local)
{
    qDebug() << "Back to main" << str_local;
}

void Principal::on_pushButton_facturacion_clicked()
{
  Facturacion *form_factu = new Facturacion;   //Create new form with other class
  form_factu->show(); 

  QObject::connect(form_factu, SIGNAL(cambia(str_remote)), this, SLOT(muestramenu(str_local)));   //Connect when is emit signal cambia in the child form and pass the string to local function
}

void Principal::muestramenu(QString str_local)
{
    qDebug() << "Back to main" << str_local;
}

signals:
    void cambia(QString);
