Making a checkbox checked

veeraps

If you have void Robbie20::chkbox_client() method in Robbie20, why don't you call chkbox_client() within loadTextFile() method, which is also a method of Robbie20. Try to minimize the call in main and encapsulate them in your Concrete Class.

How about showing Robbie20 Widget once you are done with loading Text File and changing check box state.

@
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
Robbie20 w;

    w.loadTextFile&#40;&#41;;
    w.chkbox_client();

    w.show();
....
}

Pardon me - actually it shouldn't make any difference whether you call setChecked(1) after show() call or before. Tried a sample code, to just confirm it, and it is working for me.

Just added a CheckBox to the UI and added a method as you said and called the same after showing the widget, I see the checkbox is checked.

hi,
i will show screenshot when project finished, because we have to buy licence before using it on robot.

ah the error was that i made the checkbox "not checkable"
but now when it is checkable, the user can uncheck it. thats not mentioned.
so i always have to
make it checkable, then check/uncheck it and then make it again uncheckable ...

setChecked() takes a boolean, not an integer; the call to isChecked() is unnecessary.

You might post a small, compilable example that reproduces your problem.

That's correct - setChecked() will work provided setCheckable() is enabled.

thank u guys for helping.

when i only make
@ ui->chkbox_client->setChecked(1);@
its checked, but its changable by hand - it mustn't and should be stable

when

@ ui->chkbox_client->setChecked(1);
ui->chkbox_client->setCheckable(0);@
its not checkable by hand, but the check is removed

any ideas?

veeraps

The additional effort is whenever you want to change the state (setCheckable()), you need to first change the check box as checkable and then set the new state and set the checkable flag to false.

Or just use checkbox::setEnabled(false). It will gray the widget out, though. This probably can be overridden.

hi,
now i have a strange problem

in main.cpp
@
w.chkbox_client;@

works great and set the box checked.

but also in main.cpp,
@
QObject::connect(st.socket,SIGNAL(connected()), &w, SLOT(chkbox_client()));@
doesn't work, even i see there is a signal connected emittet.

i can see it because in the tcpconnect class, i put this signals out with qdebug, so i see exactly its connected.

and in my main.cpp
i have this:@
QObject::connect(st.socket,SIGNAL(readyRead()), &w, SLOT(loadTextFile() ) );@
and this works great.

thankful for any hints

PS:
btw st is an object made of the class qtcpsocket, and there its made with socket = new QTcpSocket(this);
and there i have piped the connection signal out@
connect(socket,SIGNAL(connected()), this, SLOT(connected()));@

where connected is a method who tells the connection via qdebug to me

general second question:
is the main.cpp the right place for those - inter class connections?

Does st.socked return a pointer?

roboterprogrammer

hi,
i think so,
because no errors when compiling, and when i do with
&st.socket
there is an error
@C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\loetrobo\Robbie20-build-desktop-Qt_4_8_0_for_Desktop_-_MinGW__Qt_SDK__Debug..\Robbie20\main.cpp:19: error: no matching function for call to 'QObject::connect(QTcpSocket**, const char*, Robbie20*, const char*)'@
looking like a double pointer so without &
it should be normal pointer
