EditDialog dlg( this ); (parts[n]), it returns

from the function
The code above does not work because [I guess] parts[0] and parts[1] return a definition QString

are
Qt::Accept is referenced in the code (in the conditionals near the ends of the QDialog::Accepted
functions). When compilation is attempted on the code as presented in the book, and
this causes an error ("Accepted is not a member of Qt"). QDialog::Rejected.

Compilation of book code was successful.

A diff between the files shows that the only differences are my comments and
the fact that in the code downloaded from this site, Qt::Accepted is simply
Accepted.

The bug, apparently, is that Accepted isn't in the Qt namespace; it's somewhere
else. You simply need to drop "Qt::" from the references to Accepted and it'll
work fine.
