I think this item (3) is the relevant point: reconsider your design :).

 

HTH, René

 

For just about every project I have, which has a mainwindow, Ill have slots in the main window

slotMessage( const QString & ) and slotStatus( const QString & ) (messages go to the log, status to the status bar)

 

Just about every child window will have a sigMessage and sigStatus, which gets connected to the parent windows sigMessage and sigStatus

 

Sometimes you have to skip a "phony" parent but if I have a custom child widget that needs to send message or status, it works a lot cleaner...
