Child widget problem

[poporacer]

I didn't use a stacked widget because of my concerns with resources as several widgets will be connected to databases, so I was going to load and unload each widget as needed. Which way is better?

I think I am missing something because I tried

1.Page2* page2 = new Page2 (this) ;

1.Page2* page2 = new Page2 (this) ;

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and Page2 still opened as its own window, not a window within mainwindow. What did I miss?
Thanks for taking your time!

As told, you have to put that widget into the layout of your mainwindow. (See layout() to get it, or use setCentralWidget(), but that depends on your needs)

I am not sure how to add the widget into the layout of my window dynamically. I looked at the QLayout* QWidget::layout()const class and couldn't figure it out. I think I might need to place some sort of placeholder widget in the mainwindow widget and then somehow load and unload the widgets as needed. could you give me a little more information? Thanks
