Qpainter Help

[athulms]

I have created a ui window(mainwindow.ui). then i have added 3 qframe(Frame1, Frame2,Frame3) on the ui. then i placed an background image on the frame2.
Then i have created a class frame on the mainwindow.h. I have created a paintEvent of Qframe on the header in frame class. My purpose is to create a Qframe on the class frame. Then place that frame into the frame2 of the mainwindow.ui. So that i can draw over the background image of frame2. i don want painting in the frame1 & frame3. I frame2 i have to draw over the background image.


I coded and when i run my project the mainwindow.ui & frame class will run in 2different window.

main.cpp

#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include "mainwindow.h"
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    MainWindow w;
    w.show();
    Frame m;
    m.show();
    return a.exec();
}

#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include "mainwindow.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    MainWindow w;
    w.show();
    Frame m;
    m.show();
    return a.exec();
}

That is correct, since your code is creating to top level widgets (windows).

#include "mainwindow.h"
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    MainWindow w;
    w.show(); //<--- here you open the main window.
    Frame m;
    m.show(); //<--- her you open m as a top level window.
    return a.exec();
}

#include "mainwindow.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    MainWindow w;
    w.show(); //<--- here you open the main window.
    Frame m;
    m.show(); //<--- her you open m as a top level window.
    return a.exec();
}

If you want to have one widget to be "in" another, you have to make it a child widget.

Read the basics of C++ specifically what is a member variable.
You can do it also as a non member, by giving the parent at construction time.
But you better start with C++ basics first.
