GUI programming with Qt custom dialog - qt

Question

I'm new with Qt and having some playing-around with it.
I picked a sample code from "C GUI programming with Qt 4" and cannot find anything incomprehensive about the code but it doesn't run correctly:
** projectfile.pro
QT += core gui
TARGET = CustomDialog
TEMPLATE = app
SOURCES += main.cpp \
finddialog.cpp
HEADERS += \
finddialog.h
** dialog header:
#ifndef FINDDIALOG_H
#define FINDDIALOG_H
#include <QDialog>
class QCheckBox;
class QLabel;
class QLineEdit;
class QPushButton;
class FindDialog : public QDialog
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
FindDialog(QWidget *parent = 0);
signals:
void findNext(const QString &str, Qt::CaseSensitivity cs);
void findPrevious(const QString &str, Qt::CaseSensitivity cs);
private slots:
void findClicked();
void enableFindButton(const QString &text);
private:
QLabel *label;
QLineEdit *lineEdit;
QCheckBox *caseCheckBox;
QCheckBox *backwardCheckBox;
QPushButton *findButton;
QPushButton *closeButton;
};
#endif // FINDDIALOG_H
** dialog cpp:
#include <QtGui>
#include "finddialog.h"
FindDialog::FindDialog(QWidget *parent)
: QDialog(parent)
{
label = new QLabel(tr("Find &what:"));
lineEdit = new QLineEdit;
label->setBuddy(lineEdit);
caseCheckBox = new QCheckBox(tr("Match &case"));
backwardCheckBox = new QCheckBox(tr("Search &backward"));
findButton = new QPushButton(tr("&Find"));
findButton->setDefault(true);
connect(lineEdit, SIGNAL(textChanged(const QString &)),
this, SLOT(enableFindButton(const QString &)));
connect(findButton, SIGNAL(clicked()),
this, SLOT(findClicked()));
connect(closeButton, SIGNAL(clicked()),
this, SLOT(close()));
QHBoxLayout *topLeftLayout = new QHBoxLayout;
topLeftLayout->addWidget(label);
topLeftLayout->addWidget(lineEdit);
QVBoxLayout *leftLayout = new QVBoxLayout;
leftLayout->addLayout(topLeftLayout);
leftLayout->addWidget(caseCheckBox);
leftLayout->addWidget(backwardCheckBox);
QVBoxLayout *rightLayout = new QVBoxLayout;
rightLayout->addWidget(findButton);
rightLayout->addWidget(closeButton);
rightLayout->addStretch();
QHBoxLayout *mainLayout = new QHBoxLayout;
mainLayout->addLayout(leftLayout);
mainLayout->addLayout(rightLayout);
setLayout(mainLayout);
setWindowTitle(tr("Find"));
setFixedHeight(sizeHint().height());
}
void FindDialog::findClicked()
{
QString text = lineEdit->text();
Qt::CaseSensitivity cs =
caseCheckBox->isChecked() ? Qt::CaseSensitive
: Qt::CaseInsensitive;
if (backwardCheckBox->isChecked()) {
emit findPrevious(text, cs);
} else {
emit findNext(text, cs);
}
}
void FindDialog::enableFindButton(const QString &text)
{
findButton->setEnabled(!text.isEmpty());
}
** main.cpp:
#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include "finddialog.h"
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
FindDialog w;
w.show();
return a.exec();
}
what's wrong here??
when I click run, no dialog is shown but this error:

You have not initialized closeButton. Add
closeButton = new QPushButton(tr("&Close"));
to your constructor (before connecting its signal).
