In my mainwidow.cpp constructor, I do this:
TLDAlgoSettings = new TLDSettings(ui->algoSettingsStackedWidget);
ui->algoSettingsStackedWidget->addWidget(TLDAlgoSettings);
ui->algoSettingsStackedWidget->setCurrentWidget(TLDAlgoSettings);
TLDSettings being a QWidget :
#ifndef TLDSETTINGS_H
#define TLDSETTINGS_H
#include <QWidget>
namespace Ui {
class TLDSettings;
class TLDSettings : public QWidget
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    explicit TLDSettings(QWidget *parent = 0);
    ~TLDSettings();
private:
    Ui::TLDSettings *ui;
#endif // TLDSETTINGS_H
Pretty simple; however, it looks like I am missing something since it does not work: my TLDSettings QWidget does not appear at its place when I do ui->algoSettingsStackedWidget->setCurrentWidget(TLDAlgoSettings);
Any suggestion?
[EDIT]
OK, I can confirm this works (still in mainwindow.cpp constructor):
TLDAlgoSettings = new TLDSettings();
StackedWidget = new QStackedWidget;
StackedWidget->addWidget(TLDAlgoSettings);
ui->visionSettingsVerticalLayout->addWidget(StackedWidget);
Not a bad workaround, but still I wonder why the other option would not work.
                tested and work fine for me (Qt4.8.6), probably you have to show more code...  TLDAlgoSettings is pointer to TLDSettings class, right ?

                I'll try, thank you very much for the code! I don't see much difference with my code though... anyway, I'll let you know. Thanks again.
