Qt - force close on button click (signal/slot problem)

Not sure why this isn't working, but connect(button, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(addMenu())); force closes the application when I click on the button.

Your member variable _layout is apparently not initialized.

This code:

 QVBoxLayout *_layout = new QVBoxLayout;
_layout->addLayout(stackedLayout);
setLayout(_layout);

creates a local variable _layout, which is different from the member variable _layout. As you're using a QPointer for _layout (the member) it's initialized to NULL, which then leads to a crash in your addMenu() slot.

First step, is it the click or the function

1, Temporarily replace the contents of the function with an empty one.

2, Then work out exactly which call in the function is crashing - do you have a debugger?
