How to setup multiple screens in qt mainwindow

I am developing a Hospital Management System using Qt. It has options to create Patients, edit Patients and generate Bills. I used a QMainWindow and had three buttons in the Toolbar for each of these three options. Now when user selects one of these three buttons I want to load the form corresponding to that , foreg., Patient Creation Form or Patient Edit form and so on.. In QtDesigner for QMainWindow I was able to design one form based on the center widget. How to design multiple form and load them over center widget based on user action.

Add New -> Qt Designer Form Class

Set name of your class, mark "Create form", inherit QDialog. Create your dialog using Qt Designer or do it by code and call it in MainWindow like this:

MyDialog dlg;
dlg.show();

To communicate between MainWindow and your forms (for example send new data to your MainWindow) you should use signals and slots.

If your forms should create and edit some data, you can do it modal. setModal method

you should use QStackedWidget

The QStackedWidget class provides a stack of widgets where only one widget is visible at a time.

It's possible to manage stacked widgets by index or by their pointers.
