Telescoping constructor

From Effective Java 2ed Item 2:

telescoping constructor pattern, in which you provide a constructor with only the required parameters, another with a single optional parameter, a third with two optional parameters, and so on, culminating in a constructor with all the optional parameter

Can I do the same in C++? I tried somthing like this:

MyClass::MyClass(QWidget *parent)
{   
    MyClass(NULL, NULL, NULL, parent);
}

MyClass::MyClass(QString title, QWidget *parent) 
{

    MyClass(title, NULL, NULL, parent);
}

MyClass::MyClass(QString title, QString rightButton, QWidget *parent)
{


    MyClass(title, NULL, rightButton, parent);
}



MyClass::MyClass(QString titleLabel, QString leftButtonLabel, QString rightButtonLabel, QWidget *parent)
: QWidget(parent)
{
      // construct the object
}

but it does not work. Any hint?

I am really new in C++ field so.. sorry for the newbee question
