How to show a wizard before the main window?

[dcopeto]

Hi,

how can make the wizard show up alone, and then when it finishes, the main window comes up?

My main.cpp code is this:

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
	QApplication app(argc, argv);
 
	MainWindowImpl win;
	win.show();							//shows the main window
	win.data = new dataBase;
	startWizard wizard(&win, &(win.data));
	wizard.show();						//shows the wizard
 
	app.connect( &app, SIGNAL( lastWindowClosed() ), &app, SLOT( quit() ) );
	return app.exec();
}

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
	QApplication app(argc, argv);
	
	MainWindowImpl win;
	win.show();							//shows the main window
	win.data = new dataBase;
	startWizard wizard(&win, &(win.data));
	wizard.show();						//shows the wizard
	
	app.connect( &app, SIGNAL( lastWindowClosed() ), &app, SLOT( quit() ) );
	return app.exec();
}

thanks a bunch for the help,

Maybe this is what you need.

It wiil be simple if you use exec() for wizard. Mainwindow will show behind wizard, but not activated.

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
	QApplication app( argc, argv );
	MainWindowImpl win;
	win.show(); 
	app.connect( &app, SIGNAL( lastWindowClosed() ), &app, SLOT( quit() ) );
 
	startWizard wizard;
	wizard.exec();
	return app.exec();
}

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
	QApplication app( argc, argv );
	MainWindowImpl win;
	win.show(); 
	app.connect( &app, SIGNAL( lastWindowClosed() ), &app, SLOT( quit() ) );
	
	startWizard wizard;
	wizard.exec();
	return app.exec();
}

Also maybe this might be what you want, but this will be a little bit complicated.
I haven't tested yet.
In startWizard class:

#include "mainwindowimpl.h"
#include <QtGui>
 
Class startWizard : public QWizard
{
	public:
	startWizard(MainWindowImpl *mainWindow);
	~startWizard();
	...
	...
	private:
	MainWindowImpl *m_mainWindow;
};

#include "mainwindowimpl.h"
#include <QtGui>

Class startWizard : public QWizard
{
	public:
	startWizard(MainWindowImpl *mainWindow);
	~startWizard();
	...
	...
	private:
	MainWindowImpl *m_mainWindow;
};

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

In startwizard.cpp:

startWizard::~startWizard()
{
	mainWindow->show();
}
 
startWizard::startWizard(MainWindowImpl *mainWindow)
{
	m_mainWindow = mainWindow;
}

startWizard::~startWizard()
{
	mainWindow->show();
}

startWizard::startWizard(MainWindowImpl *mainWindow)
{
	m_mainWindow = mainWindow;
}

In main.cpp:

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
	QApplication app( argc, argv );
 
	MainWindowImpl win;
 
	startWizard wizard(&win);
	wizard.exec();
	return app.exec();
}

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
	QApplication app( argc, argv );
	
	MainWindowImpl win;
	
	startWizard wizard(&win);
	wizard.exec();
	return app.exec();
}

I don't know if it helps.

what you need to do is

include your startWizard .h to your main.cpp

after that you need to

startWizard sss;
sss.exec();

startWizard sss;
sss.exec();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

than continue to your main window

Hey thanks a lot ccp!! what you said worked!

I just had to put the m_mainWindow->show(); in my startWizard::accept() function instead of in the ~startWizard() like you suggested.


Thanks a lot!
Cheers,
