How to use QStackedWidget in GUI? - c++

Question

I am new to Qt and am have to make a GUI having multiple windows for this I found QStackedWidget class using Qt designer tools.
I added QStackedWidget using add new->Qt designer form class->Qstackwidget
after that I created an object of this class in my main window
#ifndef MAINWINDOW_H
#define MAINWINDOW_H
#include <QMainWindow>
#include<stackedwidget.h>
namespace Ui { class MainWindow; }
class MainWindow : public QMainWindow {
Q_OBJECT
public:
explicit MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0);
~MainWindow();
private slots:
void on_pushButton_clicked();
private:
Ui::MainWindow *ui;
StackedWidget *stk; };
#endif // MAINWINDOW_H
then i tried to display StackedWidget by:
#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"
MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
ui->setupUi(this);
}
MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
delete ui;
}
void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
stk = new StackedWidget(this);
stk->show();
}
But stackwidget is not opening .
Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong and how to implement QStackedWidget GUI using designer tools?

Answer 1

The QStackedWidget class provides a stack of widgets where only one widget is visible at a time.
You are new to Qt so I suggest you to using Qt Designer:
You can drag&drop StackedWidget to your form, customize it then use arrows to go to the next page and work on it too.
StackedWidget is like a vector you can access them via indexes.
ui->stackedWidget->setCurrentIndex(1);
