QMessageBox::question does not close when I click on X button but works when we have cancel button why so

Qt Enthusiast

I am doing nothing after yes

answer = QMessageBox::information(this, QObject::tr(Name),
                                       QString(QObject::tr("Messages. ")),
                                       QMessageBox::Ok);

Noting and I am not getting this behavior when I have QMessageBox::information

What OS and Qt version are you running?

Qt Enthusiast

qt 4.3.3 and centos 6.4

It might be a bug, difficult to act on such an old version. try building it manually instead of using the static method:

QPointer<QMessageBox> questionBox=new QMessageBox(QMessageBox::Question,tr("Dialog"),tr(" Do you want to continue?"),QMessageBox::Yes | QMessageBox::No ,this);
questionBox->setDefaultButton(QMessageBox::Yes);
const int ret = questionBox->exec();
if(questionBox)
questionBox->deleteLater();
if(ret==QMessageBox::No){
return false;
}

If you are interested in why I use QPointer see https://blogs.kde.org/2009/03/26/how-crash-almost-every-qtkde-application-and-how-fix-it-0

if I put QMessageCancel then it is working fine why so

 answer = QMessageBox::question(parent, QObject::tr("MY NAME"),
                                   QString(QObject::tr(" Do you want to continue?"))),
                                   QMessageBox::Yes | QMessageBox::No| QMessageBox::Cancel);

Looks like it's a Bug in your Qt version. did you try my solution?

If it doesn't work try subclass QMessageBox reimplement closeEvent() and call reject() from there

Qt Enthusiast

Just to be sure of qt4.3.3 it works fine on centos 6 and it does not work on rhel 5 linux any idea on KDE settings

That is not the correct solution we need to find the proper cause

Hi,

Do you realise that you are asking about looking for a solution on a 10 years old version of Qt ? Are you locked to Qt 4.3.3 ?

@Qt-Enthusiast said in QMessageBox::question does not close when I click on X button but works when we have cancel button why so:

That is not the correct solution

What do you mean? the messagebox is not closed or you just prefer using the static method rather than building the object?
