QT dialog c++ Crash on Close button

Hi I have added a push button to dialog and doing below: closeButton->OnClick().Connect(this, &myclass::OnCloseButtonClick); Close button click: if (p_dialog) { p_dialog->Close(); auto otherDialog = _other; delete p_dialog; p_dialog = nullptr; otherDialog ->Show(); } Above works fine. If I want to perform same action (close current and open other dialog after releasing memory from current dialog) to default close button , it crashes. Below code causes crash: p_dialog->OnAboutToClose().Connect(this, &myclass::OnDialogClose); //on dialog close if (p_dialog) { //p_dialog->Close(); auto otherDialog = _other; delete p_dialog; p_dialog = nullptr; otherDialog ->Show(); } both slots are same apart from the fact that close is commented. Any hint on why it is crashing?

you can use debugger to see why and where it crash. It is probably crash internally inside a p_dialog function because is still running some code on other thread and you free the memory without closed it properly

in your code below, you commented out //p->dialog->Close(); but you did not comment out delete p_dialog; and p_dialog = nullptr;

Hi Is it not necessary to delete the dialog? I had not commented it out as it was not calling destructor of dialog without those lines.

maybe you just need to close the dialog instead of deleting and setting it to nullptr? I'm not sure how you set it up but maybe there is a hidden dependency between the otherDialog and your p_dialog? or maybe put the otherDialog->Show(); above the p_dialog destructors?

Close button closes the current dialogue for sure. no need to close the same. Apart from that, there is no dependency between two dialogs.
