[Solved]Size of pushbuttons

[alfah]

eddy,

Yup i did,
@
for(int i=0;i<6;i++)
{
for(int j=0;j<7;j++)
{

       cellBut[i][j]=new QPushButton();
       connect(cellBut[i][j],SIGNAL(clicked()),this,SLOT(onClickAction()));
       ht=cellBut[i][j]->size().height();
       wd=cellBut[i][j]->size().width();

    }
}

@

ht and wd gives me 640 and 480 respectivvely. which i think is the screen size and not individual button size.
:(

I think the problem is, you didn't set the pushbutton's size implicit. And you didn't use any layout management. So the value is not you want.

[Eddy]

what Chuck is saying is that you didn't use a parent or add them to a layout. That way they get a size.

have a look at this quick and dirty example:

@ int rows = 6;//this is convenient in case you want to alter the numbers
int cols = 7;
QPushButton* cellBut[rows][cols] ;

for(int i=0;i<rows;i++) {
    for(int j=0;j<cols;j++)     {
        cellBut[i][j]=new QPushButton(this);    //remark the use of a parent here
        //        connect(cellBut[i][j],SIGNAL(clicked()),this,SLOT(onClickAction()));//better way see below

    }
}
qDebug() << cellBut[0][0]->size().height();
qDebug() << cellBut[0][0]->size().width();@

you might have a look at "QSignalMapper":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qsignalmapper.html#details. There is a nice example of what you try to achieve.

chuck,

Yea, I have not set size of the pushbutton, But since it has been created, why doesn it give me the current size of the button. That it should do right?

:( Is it necessary to specify the size of the button while creating them?

Thank you

in case you missed my topic :
have a look at my example. also the QSignalMapper link.

:) Thanks Eddy,

Got tht one, size now is 100 and 30 which is kinda resonable :)

You're welcome. I'm glad you made it.

And did you have a look at the QSignalMapper example?
This will make your signal slots handling much easier.

I checked that, :) its a lot more easier.

Thank you :) :)
