    With QWidget::show() or QDialog::exec(). You should write that code in the slot that handles clicks on the show button.

    Hi thank u.!
    But i'm getting compiler error saying ambiguity in "Show()" function..
    I think something wrong with inheritance i made....
    I inherited window_A in window_B

    in window_A.h

    include "window_b.h"

    private slot:

    void showWindow_B();

    and pointer to window_b in private so

    Window_B *myWindow_B;

    in window_A.cpp

    add
    in your main funtion

    connect(ui.startButton, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(showWindow_B());


    void Window_A::showWindow_B
    {
    myWindow_B.show();
    {


    works in my current project with 5 uis

    The first method should work if the object is created
    Also it is always safe to have a parent to any QObject based object.
    Qt Code:
    1. void window_a::on_pushButton_clicked()
    2. {
    3. window_b * mywindow_b = new window_b(this);
    4. mywindow_b->show();
    5. }
