construction of classes within classes

[mobucl]

HI high_flyer.

This is all the code from the header file (including the previously discussed attempts at creating nested classes and some function defs):

#ifndef ATTEMPT1_H
#define ATTEMPT1_H
 
//#include <QWidget>
//#include <iostream>
//#include <fstream>
//#include <string>
//#include <vector>
//#include <windows.h>
//#include <QTextEdit>
//#include <QString>
#include <QFileDialog>
//using namespace std;
//#include <QtCore/QFile>
//#include <QtCore/QTextStream>
void FileOpen(QString fileName, QVector<double>& x, QVector<QVector<double> >& y); // this is using pointers for output
void FiCalc(double lambda, double TwoThetaMin, double TwoThetaMax);
QList<QList<int> > Combinations(int a, int b, int c,int aa,int bb,int cc);
QList<double> AtomicScattering(QString Symbol,QList<float> dSpace);
namespace Ui {
    class attempt1;
}
 
class attempt1 : public QWidget
{
    Q_OBJECT
 
public:
    explicit attempt1(QWidget *parent = 0);
    ~attempt1();
 
private:
    Ui::attempt1 *ui;
 
private slots:
    void on_save_clicked();
    void on_run_clicked();
    void on_load_clicked();
};
 
#endif // ATTEMPT1_H

#ifndef ATTEMPT1_H
#define ATTEMPT1_H

//#include <QWidget>
//#include <iostream>
//#include <fstream>
//#include <string>
//#include <vector>
//#include <windows.h>
//#include <QTextEdit>

#include <QFileDialog>
//using namespace std;
//#include <QtCore/QFile>
//#include <QtCore/QTextStream>
void FileOpen(QString fileName, QVector<double>& x, QVector<QVector<double> >& y); // this is using pointers for output
void FiCalc(double lambda, double TwoThetaMin, double TwoThetaMax);
QList<QList<int> > Combinations(int a, int b, int c,int aa,int bb,int cc);
QList<double> AtomicScattering(QString Symbol,QList<float> dSpace);
namespace Ui {
    class attempt1;
}

class attempt1 : public QWidget
{
    Q_OBJECT

public:

    ~attempt1();

private:

    void on_run_clicked();
    void on_load_clicked();
};

 };

The code im using in the cpp file id just what you wrote below:

QMap<QString,atom*> m_mapAtoms;
    atom *pAtom = new atom;
    //Storing
    m_mapAtoms["atom1"] = pAtom;
    //using
    pAtom = m_mapAtoms["atom1"];

QMap<QString,atom*> m_mapAtoms;
    atom *pAtom = new atom;
    //Storing
    m_mapAtoms["atom1"] = pAtom;
    //using
    pAtom = m_mapAtoms["atom1"];

Is this the information you need?

thanks

Sorry high_flyer I just realised i didnt include <QMap> (im still getting used to including things as in matlab you don't do this!).

I will have a look at QMap now - in your opinion is this the best way to organize data sets each containing lots of different data types?

Thanks for your help again!
