1. you need to have a server that relay your post to facebook twitter. (need all authentication etc on your server)
2. you need to have both twitter and facebook libraries in your application.

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::MainWindow)

}



void MainWindow:n_pushButton_clicked()

QWebView *web=new QWebView(this);
web->resize(this->width(),this->height());

QObject::connect(web->page()->networkAccessManager(), SIGNAL(sslErrors(QNetworkReply*,const QList<QSslError>&)), this, SLOT(SslErrors(QNetworkReply*,const QList<QSslError>&)));


web->setUrl(QUrl(QString("http://mobile.twitter.com/?status=")+ui->textEdit->toPlainText())); // so i want the link to be display in that textEdit box

yes but the link you have to get it your self by uploading it to some video hosting provider.

how that can be done..that thing i dont know can u plz suggest me for that..

have you read these facebook graph doc ?
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/link/

Then you have to use QWebView to authenticate and get the access token ... by adding offline_access permission as param you get a long life token, that means onetime only login.

Be aware you have to setup a facebook app ,see http://www.facebook.com/developers/

After that you can use QNetwork api to make http post that includes link and that token in the request

...but the thing thats nt workin is the display of video link in the textedit box...

Why would that be a problem? It is a simple as calling textEditor->setHtml("This is ... blah ... blah <a href="http://put_link_here">a video link</a>");

[AnshumanBorah]

"a video link" is the url that link where you have uploaded the video file.

Anshuman, is this the first program you're writing? There is a forum for begginers where I can move this, and there could be some books that we could recommend as well.
Other than that, maybe you should slow down and start thinking ...

You know the URL of the currently played video, otherwise you won't be able to play it. So when the button is pressed, you have to take that URL from whichever object or data structure holds it, and add it to your message.
