Extensible IRC Bot Question - Pointer to QTcpSocket

 

Hello, this is my first post here.
Anyway, I have written an IRC Bot, which i want to be extensible (I have created the Plugin loading code, but its not implemented btw)
But my only problem now, is that I cant create a pointer to a QTcpSocket, because I want to use the QTcpSocket inside the API of my IRC Bot. I just need to know how to create a pointer to a QTcpSocket object that can be accessed by other classes.

And I know its badly coded ( I’m just coding it for fun ;) )

MainWindow.h:

  1. #ifndef MAINWINDOW_H
  2. #define MAINWINDOW_H
  3.  
  4. #include <QMainWindow>
  5. #include <QtNetwork/QTcpSocket>

If you want to make that pointer accessible by other classes of your project you need to either create a function in MainWindow that returns that pointer or to pass the pointer to the classes (by constructor using a setter function) that shall use it.

This seems to be a reoccurring problem for beginners I guess. Take a look a this thread [qt-project.org] as the original poster struggles with the same problem only for a GLWindow instead of a QTcpSocket.
