A form returning an object.

[cbarmpar]

Hi all,

I know how to pass an object to a form which can be done through the constructor.
What I don't now is how i can return an object used and declared in a form.

For example i have two forms frmA and frmB. In frmB i have a linedit widget and i want to pass these contents to an object and then pass the object to formA. The idea behind it is that I can pass lots of data through an abject (say for example the contents of 20 lineedits through an object).

Can please one write a sample code for that?

Many thanks in advance.

I assume u mean dialogs by forms .
You can always have functions to retrieve the data from dialog.
For eg -

MyDialog dlg;
if(dlg.exec() == Qt::Accepted)
{
QString text = dlg.getLineEditText();    // You get the text of the line edit here
 
// Now pass it on to another dialog or use it as u want
dlg2.setLineEditText(text);
}

MyDialog dlg;
if(dlg.exec() == Qt::Accepted)
{
QString text = dlg.getLineEditText();    // You get the text of the line edit here

// Now pass it on to another dialog or use it as u want
dlg2.setLineEditText(text);
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Hope you get the idea

Many thanks for the reply.

Is the object of the dialogue killed when the user closes the form? or if it is not do i have to delete this object as soon as i read the things that i want to read form it (ex lineedits).

What is the .getlineedit and setlineedit?. I cant find them in the documentation

Many thanks

The object has scope of a normal object. I hope u know c++

the getLinedEditText, setLineEditText are user defined functions. I assume you had inherited the dialog, and those are member functions of ur class.
