In function 'int qMain(int, char**)':
request for member 'show' is ambiguous
cnadidates are: void QWidget::show()
void QWidget::show()
The ambiguity it's here
in class MainWindow. how you can see i have a public QMainWindow and a public QWidget.
class MainWindow : public QMainWindow, public QWidget
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
MainWindow(Server *myserver, QWidget *parent = 0);
~MainWindow();
private:
void createActions();
void createTrayIcon();
void setIcon();
void closeEvent(QCloseEvent *event);
QSystemTrayIcon *trayIcon;
QMenu *trayIconMenu;
QAction *open;
QAction *close;
public slots:
void reloadMenuBar();
void trayIconClicked(QSystemTrayIcon::ActivationReason);
private:
ServerWidget * myserverwidget;
QSystemTrayIcon *sticon;
};
QWidget / \ / \ QMainWindow - - Main WindowSo your MainWindow class has two QWidget bases - your compiler is complaining that you're calling this function that could be answered by both the bases and you're not saying which one should answer it.
The solution is to just inherit from QMainWindow, not both QMainWindow and QWidget.
If you still insist on inheriting from both, aware of the trickiness associated with multiple inheritance, then there's syntax to say which base you want to invoke - I /believe/ it's something like QMainWindow::show() or QWidget::show() to get the two versions you've got there, but I'm not certain here.
