[Qt-interest] Re : Using more than one .ui files in a project

[yogesh upreti]

Hi Jaff,
I am not sure if this is the correct answer you are looking for. This is how
I do when I have more than one ui file.

1. You can't start both the ui togather from int main(...), you have to have
one main Gui and then, call from that Gui the second one.  (Somehow you can
start them togather by calling the new GUI in constructor of the first
class: I will not recommand this)
2. I start the next gui in some slot, Like after clicking a button, or a
menu etc etc
3. You have to make newUi.cpp (class definition) and newUi.h (header
declaration) file corrosponding to your newUi.ui file(exactly in the way you
do it in a single .ui file application) ( Don't forget to include cpp, h, ui
file in your .pro definition)
4. Then you have to include the header (newUi.h) in your first .ui file's
definition (.cpp) file. and then make a instance of your new ui
like
newUi *abc = new newUi(this);
5. After this depending on you requirement you can show the newUi uising
abc->show() or better abc->exec() (When your newUi inherits
QMainWindow)function.

Hope this helps.
