How do I distroy an object when clicking on the x?

[RubyTigerSG]

Hi Gurus,

I have a gui which calls another gui like so:

if (userManager==0)
{
    userManager =  new UserManager();
 
}
userManager->show();

if (userManager==0)
{
    userManager =  new UserManager();

}
userManager->show();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

This then launches the user manager window. So now how do I make sure that the ~UserManager gets executed when someone closes the window by clicking on the x?

I know I should delete the reference to UserManager, but where do I do this?

Thanks a million

You can use:

userManager->setAttribute(Qt::WA_DeleteOnClose, true);

userManager->setAttribute(Qt::WA_DeleteOnClose, true);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

It will be deleted by QObject::deleteLater()

Additionally, to make sure your Pointer is set to null after the window is closed, you could either use http://doc.trolltech.com/4.7/qobject.html#destroyed or a QPointer
