send data from one tab lineedit to another tab lineedit in tab widget

Siddharth jain

Hi,

Thanks for the help and reply . But the thing is that I have created separate Ui form for both the tabs i.e. I have separate header files, cpp files for both tabs( like tab1.cpp and tab2.cpp). Can you help me out with this case.

mrjj

Hi
So its two forms, each having a tabwidget?

How will it work?

The mainwindow have BOTH tab UI at the same time?

Or do you use it as dialogs?

First open one, then open the second?

Sir, please see the screenshots. On the above links. Actually it is a single tab widget but I have created separate classes for both

mrjj

@Siddharth-jain

Yes, I understand you have made 2 UI forms files.

But will you use them as windows/dialogs?

Show them one by one like a popup window?

Or will you embed both into the mainwindow ?

Siddharth jain

I want to embed them in main window itself

@mrjj

Sir,
In short I want that when I enter my Oracle id in user details tab and click on load, then my oracle Id should appear in comp off tracker tab too.

mrjj

@Siddharth-jain

Ok, then its much like the sample.

You can use the promote feature to embed the UI into main window.

http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/designer-using-custom-widgets.html

OR simply new and insert them your self.

But there is one HUGE difference.

The UI is private.
So you cannot easy copy text in mainwindow as you cannot acces it.

So its better to do in the class for the UI. there you create slot for button and
save it to a variable/structure.
You can then take from this structure in other tab.

mrjj

it looks fine.
So if you save in User_data to database, then in
Comp_off, you can just read the data again?

No need to send from edit to edit.

Cant the tab2 (Comp_off?) just read the data it needs ?

@mrjj

Actually Sir,

In userdetails database, I am having user details. So when I enter my Oracle Id in userdetails tab and click on load my other fields fetches data and populates then in user details tab. Now in comp off , I want that when i click load, it takes the oracle id from oracle id field in user detail tab. As compoff is my transaction tab.

mrjj

Well, the UI is private so you need to the info accessible in
user detail class
You could use a public function
QString getOracleID()
that simply returns ui->the_line_edit->text()

Siddharth jain

Sir,
Can you help with providing modifications in the code. What actually is to be done. It will be really helpful

mrjj

Hi
Why are you making new ones ???

User_data a; <<< new one ! should it not be userdata ?
Comp_off b; <<<<< new one!! should be comp ?
QObject::connect(&a, SIGNAL(value(QString)),
&b, SLOT(receivevalue(QString)));

both a,b will be deleted as soon as constructor is finished ! -
so this look completely wrong :)

Use the objects you create
QObject::connect(userdata , SIGNAL(value(QString)), comp , SLOT(receivevalue(QString)));
