Do I need to derive from QDialog here or just QWidget (newbie)?
Message 1 in thread
I am working on Fedora/Eclipse/Qt4.3.4. The question pertains to
integration of Eclipse and the Qt Designer, but is also Qt-relevant,
somewhat, so I think it belongs here.
I am doing the AddressBook sample that came with the Eclipse plugin,
following the cheat sheet provided.
When I get to the stage where I have to wire up the Add button on the main
form by using the signals/slots editor, I find that the form has no
'accept()' slot, even if I choose 'Show all signals and slots'. When I open
up the CPP file for the dialog, I see my dialog class has been derived from
QWidget, like this:
#include <QtGui/QWidget>
#include "ui_addressbook.h"
class AddressBook : public QWidget
{
Q_OBJECT
.....etc ....
So basically I think the problem is that the AddressBook should be derived
from QDialog to get that accept() slot.
Is that right?
If it is, how did I get the wrong base class ?
How can I most easily fix it? I could just edit the header but not sure of
all the other references.
BTW the app compiles and runs just fine but of course the buttons don't do
anything.

In the .ui file there is an attribute on the top widget node... Set it
from QWidget to QDialog...
I have never been able to figure out how to do it in designer, or the
Dev Studio Integration.. I assume its equally hidden in the eclipse plug
in J
