hi,

you should use the designer to add signal/slot connections (if the new form is within the same widget). It's pretty easy that way.
If it is a new, own window you can crate a slot with the name:

void on_myPushButton_clicked()

void on_myPushButton_clicked()

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and in the on_myPushButton_clicked() function you can open a new form/window/dialog.

Take a look at Qt's examples, standard dialogs in particular.

hi,

Take a look at the QDialog Class Reference. There is some example code:

void MyFirstDialog::on_myPushButton_clicked()
 {
     MySecondDialog dialog(this);
     dialog.exec();  //opens the second Dialog
 }

void MyFirstDialog::on_myPushButton_clicked()
 {
     MySecondDialog dialog(this);
     dialog.exec();  //opens the second Dialog
 }

Janus:

What about when you wan to launch a new window?, hide the parent window, but keep track of it to recall it later. I have an intro window with buttons and one of these should launch the "main window" that I call the admin window:

void introWindow::adminstart()  {
    hide();
    adminwin = new AdminWindow(this);
}

void introWindow::adminstart()  {
    hide();
    adminwin = new AdminWindow(this);
}

my header file has the following:

#define INTROWINDOW_H

    introWindow(QWidget *parent = 0);
    //introWindow();
    ~introWindow();
 
    QGraphicsView *graphicsView;

when I compile I get the following error msg:

Hi,

1)If you paste the code we will surely help you( whole app or a reasonable example/minimm compilable )
2)If you explain in detail what you want exactly I will help you as well.
3)If you show the adminWindow implementation we can look for problems.

The code you need is rather simple so if you provide your code or explanation surely someone will help you within a short period of time.
