How would your piece of code be ever reusable? I think this item (3) is the relevant point: reconsider your design :). HTH, René For just about every project I have, which has a mainwindow, Ill have slots in the main window slotMessage( const QString & ) and slotStatus( const QString & ) (messages go to the log, status to the status bar) Just about every child window will have a sigMessage and sigStatus, which gets connected to the parent windows sigMessage and sigStatus Sometimes you have to skip a "phony" parent but if I have a custom child widget that needs to send message or status, it works a lot cleaner...
