[QWizard] How to disable the Next button in a wizard until a certain condition is met

pkjag

Hey
Is there no actual help in this forum, where did everyone go??
I've been waiting for like 4 hours!!!! ):

Please, wait at least 24 to 72 hours before bumping your own thread. Most people answering here do it on their free time. Also not everybody lives in the same timezone as you.

If you're in need of rapid support you can contact Digia/KDAB/ICS etc...

Mate, there is no magic automated solution here. This is custom behaviour and you need to sit down, think about it and implement the code.

Regardless of how many checkboxes you have, be it 10 or a hundred, you need to go through them all and count how many are checked.

pkjag,
Once you subclass QWizardPage, you will get access to the "Next" button using the wizard()->button(QWizard::NextButton). When you check any checkbox, call a common slot and check there the status of all the checkboxes and depending upon your condition call set the "Next" button state using @wizard()->button(QWizard::NextButton)->setEnabled(true)@ or @wizard()->button(QWizard::NextButton)->setEnabled(false)@

So i did this:
@
connect(checkmeCheckBox, SIGNAL(toggled()),wizard1->button(QWizard::NextButton), SLOT(reactToToggle()));
...
...
...
//for all the checkboxes in myPage

int myPage::reactToToggle(bool checked)
{
static int i = 0;
if(checked)
++i;
return i;
}

void myPage::returns(bool checked)
{
if(reactToToggle(checked)== 3)
wizard1->button(QWizard::NextButton)->setEnabled(true);
else
wizard1->button(QWizard::NextButton)->setDisabled(true);
}
@
but the compiler returns a SIGSEGV error, is there anything wrong with my implementation apart from the SIGSEGV exception???

Hi,

Please check the following code:
Check the SLOT CheckAllCheckBoxes(bool)

installer.cpp

@#include "installer.h"

Installer::Installer(QWidget *parent)
: QWizard(parent)
{
setPage(Page_Intro, new IntroPage);
setPage(Page_Register, new RegisterPage);
setStartId(Page_Intro);
setWindowTitle(tr("Test Wizard"));

}

Installer::~Installer()
{

}

IntroPage::IntroPage(QWidget *parent)
: QWizardPage(parent)
{
setTitle(tr("Introduction"));
}

void IntroPage::initializePage()
{
topLabel = new QLabel(tr("Test Wizard. \n Please click next to install"));
topLabel->setWordWrap(true);

m_one = new QCheckBox();m_one->setText("one");
connect(m_one,SIGNAL(clicked(bool)),this,SLOT(CheckAllCheckBoxes(bool)));
m_two = new QCheckBox();m_two->setText("two");
connect(m_two,SIGNAL(clicked(bool)),this,SLOT(CheckAllCheckBoxes(bool)));
m_three = new QCheckBox();m_three->setText("three");
connect(m_three,SIGNAL(clicked(bool)),this,SLOT(CheckAllCheckBoxes(bool)));
m_four = new QCheckBox();m_four->setText("four");
connect(m_four,SIGNAL(clicked(bool)),this,SLOT(CheckAllCheckBoxes(bool)));

QVBoxLayout *layout = new QVBoxLayout;
layout->addWidget(topLabel);

layout->addWidget(m_one);
layout->addWidget(m_two);
layout->addWidget(m_three);
layout->addWidget(m_four);
setLayout(layout);

}

bool IntroPage::validatePage()
{
return Installer::Page_Register;
}

void IntroPage::CheckAllCheckBoxes(bool state)
{
int checkcount = 0;

QList<QCheckBox *> allcheckboxes = findChildren<QCheckBox *>();
for(int i=0;i<allcheckboxes.count();i++)
{
    if(allcheckboxes.at(i)->isChecked())
        checkcount++;
}
if(checkcount>2)
    wizard()->button(QWizard::NextButton)->setEnabled(true);
else
    wizard()->button(QWizard::NextButton)->setEnabled(false);

}

//--------------------------

RegisterPage::RegisterPage(QWidget *parent)
: QWizardPage(parent)
{
setTitle(tr("Test Wizard Page 2"));
setSubTitle(tr("Please wait..."));

}

void RegisterPage::initializePage()
{
line = new QLineEdit;
line->setHidden(true);

QVBoxLayout *layout = new QVBoxLayout;
layout->addWidget(bar,1,0);
layout->addWidget(line,2,0);
setLayout(layout);

}

bool RegisterPage::validatePage()
{
}

int RegisterPage::EnableNextFinish()
{
line->setText("157");
setSubTitle("Completed");
}

bool RegisterPage::isComplete()
{
return true;
}

Thanks p3c0
It worked save for the fact that the Next button is enabled before you actually click the checkboxes and it allows going forward to the next page.
I don't know where to call the disabling function since i tried it in the constructor and it didn't work??

p3c0

Right. Doesn't even work in initializePage(). Just wondering why it didn't work

p3c0

It works in showEvent().

Try adding this function to the above code

@void IntroPage::showEvent(QShowEvent *)
{
wizard()->button(QWizard::NextButton)->setEnabled(false);
}@

Thanks man it worked
