[SOLVED] changing image using keypress

sasireka

[quote author="Francknos" date="1412060594"]Try to have your QMovie in private membre of your class and construt it in constructor.

but I think the function keyPressEvent works. The proble is in your QMovie. [/quote]

yes exactly. i changed like this. now it is working fine. Thanks alot.

@void Dialog::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *e)
{
switch ( e->key() )
{
case Qt::Key_F2 :
QMovie *movie = new QMovie("/home/dev6/Desktop/animation/spectrum.gif");
QLabel *processLabel = new QLabel(this);
ui->processLabel->setMovie(movie);
movie->start();
break;
}
}@

sasireka

but if i am pressing the same key again have to show next image is it possible..

sasireka

This is working fine for showing the next next picture by pressing the same key.

Thanks alot to Francknos and all for your great help.

@void Dialog::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *e)
{

static int key_press;

if(e->key() == Qt::Key_F2)
{
    key_press++;
}

if(key_press == 1)
    {
            QMovie *movie = new QMovie("/home/dev6/Desktop/animation/spectrum.gif");
            QLabel *processLabel = new QLabel(this);
            ui->processLabel->setMovie(movie);
            movie->start();

            ui->label1->setText(QString::fromUtf8("chennai  சென்னை"));
            ui->label1->show();
    }

 if(key_press == 2)
    {
            QMovie *movie = new QMovie("/home/dev6/Desktop/animation/1.gif");
            QLabel *processLabel = new QLabel(this);
            ui->processLabel->setMovie(movie);
            movie->start();

            ui->label1->setText(QString::fromUtf8("சென்னை Namakkal"));
            ui->label1->show();
    }
 if(key_press == 3)
    {
            QMovie *movie = new QMovie("/home/dev6/Desktop/animation/2.gif");
            QLabel *processLabel = new QLabel(this);
            ui->processLabel->setMovie(movie);
            movie->start();

            ui->label1->setText(QString::fromUtf8("coimbatore சென்னை"));
            ui->label1->show();

Yeah it is possible.

yes i done . thanks

construct a QVector<QMovie> _movies;
and add it to constructor then when you press F2:

cpt++
ui->processLabel->setMovie(_movies[cpt]);
_movies[cpt]->start();

@void Dialog::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *e)

hi..
this is not a right way.Because many of same instructions are repeating.

you can optimize your code .You must create a method with parameter QString path
e'g;
@
void ShowPicture(QString path)
{
QMovie *movie = new QMovie(path);
QLabel *processLabel = new QLabel(this);
ui->processLabel->setMovie(movie);
movie->start();

            ui->label1->setText(QString::fromUtf8("chennai  சென்னை"));
            ui->label1->show();

}

hope it helps

hi..
After looking your code ...i think you are new to programming.are you?
you are defining the method inside another method .this is not the correct
way
just call ShowPicture("/home/dev6/Desktop/animation/2.gif");
then you will not face any error.
hope it helps

good day. yes i am new to Qt programming. Okay i will do like this. Thanks Sumit. Give me a guide to learn Qt programming and library usage.

IamSumit

ok.
ShowPicture(QString) is the member function/method of Dialog class.
i can't see proper definition of this method.
in line 21.
@
Replace void Dialog::ShowPicture(QString path)
@

and in .h file declare this method as member.
in .h file. add this line
@
public:
void ShowPicture(QString path);
@

and your oops basics are not clear.So, Please improve your basics first.

Hope it helps.

Hi.
You are not passing a string .string always encloses " " quotes.
@
19.ShowPicture(/home/dev6/Desktop/animation/2.gif);
@
Correct it as .
ShowPicture("/home/dev6/Desktop/animation/2.gif");
