gtkmm: show() doesn't show the window when adding windows from other places than main()


Hello

Anyone here who knows gtkmm? I'm in the progress of learning it, and now I'm stuck. What I want to do is to first create a window, for example a typical "New Project" window. This New Project window is added from main, like this:
main.cpp
Code:
int main(int argc, char** argv){
	//tk_init(&argc, &argv);
	Glib::RefPtr<Gtk::Application> app = Gtk::Application::create(argc, argv, "org.gtkmm.control");

	NewProject newProject;
	return app->run(newProject);
}
Code:
class NewProject : public Gtk::Window{
	private:
		//Stuff for the "new_project" window
		Gtk::Label locationLabel;
		Gtk::Entry  locationEntry;
		
		Gtk::Label descriptionLabel;
		Gtk::Entry descriptionEntry;
		
		Gtk::Button createButton;
		Gtk::Grid grid;

		void CreateProject();//Callback for createButton
	public:
		NewProject();
		virtual ~NewProject();
		


};
NewProject::NewProject() : locationLabel("Location"), descriptionLabel("Description and notes"), createButton("Create") { set_title("New Project"); add(grid); //gtk_grid_set_column_spacing(GTK_GRID(grid), 5); //gtk_grid_set_row_spacing(GTK_GRID(grid), 5); grid.add(locationLabel); grid.add(locationEntry); grid.attach_next_to(descriptionLabel, locationLabel, Gtk::POS_BOTTOM, 1, 1); grid.attach_next_to(descriptionEntry, locationEntry, Gtk::POS_BOTTOM, 1, 1); grid.attach_next_to(createButton, descriptionLabel, Gtk::POS_BOTTOM, 2, 1); //locationEntry.show(); createButton.signal_clicked().connect(sigc::mem_fun(*this, &NewProject::CreateProject)); show_all_children(); show(); } NewProject::~NewProject(){ } void NewProject::CreateProject(){ gProject.location = locationEntry.get_text(); gProject.description = locationEntry.get_text(); //printf(gProject.location.c_str()); //printf(locationEntry.get_text().c_str()); Glib::RefPtr<Gtk::Application> app = get_application(); //std::vector<Window*> windows = app->get_windows(); MainWindow mainWindow; app->add_window(mainWindow); //mainWindow.Create(); //Create just calls show() on the window, tried it as a simple double check, didn't work hide(); }
And MainWindow is defined like this:
Code:
class MainWindow : public Gtk::Window{

	private:
	 	Gtk::Button testLabel;		
	
	public:
		void Create();
		MainWindow();
		virtual ~MainWindow();
};
Code:
MainWindow::MainWindow(){
	printf(gProject.location.c_str());

	if(gProject.location.empty()){
		printf("EMPTY");
	}else{
		printf("Notempty");
	}
	set_title("asd");
	Gtk::Button testButton("TEST");
	add(testButton);
	testButton.show();
	show();	
	
	//this->project = project;

	//Show the new project window
	//Glib::RefPtr<Gtk::Application> app = get_application();
	//app->add_window(newProject);

}



MainWindow::~MainWindow(){

}

void MainWindow::Create(){

	show();
}
So, why doesn't the window show up? I know the code is executed, because I can the the printf() output in the terminal. Instead of showing the new window, the application just exits successfully. If I open MainWindow from main, the windows shows up, but opening NewProject from MainWindow doesn't work.

As I said, I'm pretty new to GTK programming, so I am not completely sure about how I should organize the code, so what I've done here might for what I now, be completely wrong.

Thank you I can post more code if needed, but I don't think there is any more GTK relevant code in the project.
