[Qt-creator] Passing a value back from a form

[Coda Highland]

Two things.

First, this mailing list is dedicated to the Qt Creator IDE, not the
Qt toolkit or general C++ language issues. Try qt-interest.

Second, I don't think you understand at all how Qt's supposed to work;
I suggest you work your way through one of the tutorials and the
answer to your problem should make itself pretty clear.
