How to move the definitions from mainwindow.cpp to mainwindow.h?

[BoboFuego]

I want to define the class MainWindow as a template class, but I cannot move the definitions of its functions to mainwindow.h because of the forward declaration of namespace Ui { class MainWindow; }. How to achieve such a thing? Appreciate any help or suggestions

Find a different approach. QObject classes cannot be templated, so it won't work even if you solve namespace Ui problem.

@sierdzio said in How to move the definitions from mainwindow.cpp to mainwindow.h?:

QObject classes cannot be templated

Could you say a few more words about this, please?

@JonB the problem is the Meta-Object-Compiler it can't create the magic code to make signal&slots and macros work

you could use Verdigris if you really, really need templated QObject classes
