Saving dial value
-
@rapid84
If you dont define any default value, it will just have random value as it just uses
what ever is in that memory location.Yes, to keep it for later runs, you must save it to file. QFile is fine to use.
You can also have a look at QSettings.
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qsettings.html
Its ment for saving such values.its easy to use
//load QSettings settings("settingName"); int aValue=settings.value("aKey").toInt(); //write QSettings settings("settingName"); int somevalue=yoursave; settings.setValue("aKey",somevalue);"aKey" is a mandatory paramater ? and the reference mentions that:
When creating a QSettings object, you must pass the name of your company or organization as well as the name of your application. For example, if your product is called Star Runner and your company is called MySoft, you would construct the QSettings object as follows: QSettings settings("MySoft", "Star Runner");Is this mandatory ? what if , if i dont have any company ? :)

hi
the akey is the name of the value. It saves to registry so that why it needs a name
For you , it could be slidervalue or something that explains what u save.You can use anything u like for company. Its also because its store in registry.
So just use some name u like that IS not a real company. :) -

QSettings settings("settingName"); int aValue=settings.value("aKey").toInt(); int aValue2=settings.value("aKey2").toInt(); ui->dial->setValue(aValue); ui->dial_2->setValue(aValue2);and for saving i use
QSettings settings("settingName"); int somevalue = ui->dial->value(); int somevalue2 = ui->dial_2->value(); settings.setValue("aKey",somevalue); settings.setValue("aKey2",somevalue2);These work for me , thanks for help. by the way, in a debian OS , where do it save ( in which directory)?

Hi
That is good question :)
try
qDebug() << settings.fileName(); -
If I may suggest one improvement is to use a better name than
"aKey" and "aKey2"
Maybe Dial1Value and Dial2Value -

when i click the close button, while it is saving data , it waits sometime and close with a 1-2 seconds delay. Is this normal ?

@mrjj
on raspbian sometimes it takes up to 5 -6 seconds to store the data. i have tested it, maybe i will need to use QFile.
