Passing singal to textfield

p3c0

Hi,

There are a couple of ways to do this. One simple way would be to create a string property(in your case), update this in onNewSpeedPosted handler. And bind this property to text property of speedText. Thus it gets updated when the signal is fired.

Hi p3c0,

first of all thank you for your prompt reply. Do you mean like
@
property string test: "0"@

and than

@ MyClassData {
id: ms
onNewSpeedPosted: test
}@

i try it before but it didn't work. i will post the error later when i am at home.

thank you

p3c0

You need to update test's value in onNewSpeedPosted handler.
eg.
@
onNewSpeedPosted: test = newSpeed

Hi p3c0 :),

thank you again.

i tried it out but still have issues. i got the TypeError: Type error
when i try it in this way

@ property string xte: "value"

MyClassData {
   id: ms
   onNewSpeedPosted: xte = new newSpeedPosted()
}

@

i also tried

but it gives me Error: Insufficient arguments also it doesnt make sense for me :S..

@ MyClassData {
id: ms
onNewSpeedPosted: xte = newSpeedPosted()
}@

where i should implement the "handler" ?

may be a look at my main and myclass will help.

main.cpp

@ qmlRegisterType<MyClass>("com.test.qt", 1, 0, "MyClassData");
qmlRegisterType<Message>("com.mycompany.messaging", 1, 0, "Message");

QGuiApplication app(argc, argv);
QQmlApplicationEngine engine;
MyClass myClass;

engine.load(QUrl(QStringLiteral("qrc:/main.qml")));

QObject *item = engine.rootObjects().value(0);
QQuickWindow *window = qobject_cast<QQuickWindow *>(item);

//C++ to QML
//QString speed = "1337";
//emit myClass.newSpeedPosted(speed);

//QML to C++
QObject::connect(item, SIGNAL(qmlSignal(QString)),&myClass, SLOT(cppSlot(QString)));

window->show();
return app.exec();@

myClass Header:

@
class MyClass : public QObject
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
explicit MyClass(QObject *parent = 0);
~MyClass();

signals:
void newSpeedPosted(const QString &subject);

public slots:
void cppSlot(const QString &msg);
};
@

and finally the myClass.cpp
@
MyClass::MyClass(QObject *parent) : QObject(parent)
{

}

MyClass::~MyClass()
{

}

void MyClass::cppSlot(const QString &msg){
qDebug() << "Called the C++ slot with message:" << msg;
newSpeedPosted("123");
}
@

iam sorry for the single posts, had problems the site was thinking my code is spam :).

@
onNewSpeedPosted: xte = new newSpeedPosted()
@

This wont work here. Instead this should work
@
onNewSpeedPosted: xte = subject
@

bq. where i should implement the “handler” ?

onNewSpeedPosted: is the handler. Whenever you create a signal, QML automatically creates an handler for it and you can access the parameters passed to signal there.

Have a look at "this":http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtqml-cppintegration-exposecppattributes.html#exposing-signals. It explains exactly what you need.

Hi p3c0 :),

thank you for your help! it works now with
@onNewSpeedPosted: xte = subject@

but i have a nother problem now :/.

i created a thread and created an instance of myclass. and invoked the method mc.newSpeedPosted("111") but my qml doesn't receive it.

here is my thread class header file:
@#ifndef CANTHREAD_H
#define CANTHREAD_H

#include <QObject>
#include <QDebug>
#include <QThread>
#include "myclass.h"

class canThread : public QThread, public QObject
{
public:
explicit canThread(QObject *parent = 0);

~canThread();

protected:
void run();
};

#endif // CANTHREAD_H@

and my cpp

@#include "canthread.h"

canThread::canThread(QObject *parent) : QObject(parent)
{

}

void canThread::run(){
qDebug() << "QTHREAD" << endl;

MyClass myc;

for(int i =0; i<1000; i++){
    sleep(1);
    emit myc.newSpeedPosted("45");
    qDebug() << "QTHREAD" << endl;
}

}

canThread::~canThread()

What do i miss? Why is there no conenction. do you have an idea?

thank you for your time and help

best regards

i have also the feeling even if i do send signals that the property is not update ( only after mouse click)

i tried something like that

@ anchors.fill: parent
speed: xte

    mouseArea.onClicked: {
        ms.cppSlot(xte) //works
        //Qt.quit();
        qmlSignal("yeah!!!") //works
    }@

bq. What do i miss? Why is there no conenction. do you have an idea?

That is because MyClass myc in run() is not the same as what you have instantiated in QML.
You will need to get a pointer to that instance. For that you can use findChild to get that instance, cast it into MyClass and then emit the signal newSpeedPosted using that object.

@
anchors.fill: parent
speed: xte

mouseArea.onClicked: {
ms.cppSlot(xte) //works
//Qt.quit();
qmlSignal("yeah!!!") //works
}

What does not work here ?
