Set value from SpinBox to variable

SGaist

Do you mean: how to use the variable time as member variable from MainWindow ?

tosik

@SGaist Already done. ty

Right?

mainWindows.h

public:
    //somecode here
    void setTimeout (const int _timeout) { timeout = _timeout; }

mainWindow.cpp
void MainWindow::on_spinBox_valueChanged(int arg1)
{
    timeout = arg1;
}

SGaist

Looks good

Then please mark the thread as sovled using the "Topic Tools" button so that other forum users may know a solution has been found :)

@SGaist One more question, pls

mycode:

string command;
string hiber = " /nobreak & shutdown /h";

//code

command = "timeout /t " + to_string(timeout) + hiber;

if(ui->buttonBox->standardButton(button) == QDialogButtonBox::Ok) {
        system(command.c_str());
}

my command might be timeout /t 3600(my time) /nobreak & shutdown /h
I test this string in cmd, it works

But when I click ok it just permanently hibernate

Mayb u need all code?

Full code

SGaist

Did you check the value of timeout when you build the string ?

By the way, Qt as QString that might help in building your string.

It also has QProcess to call other applications or command line tools.

Ty for qstring and qproccess

Think I found the problem. When I first choose time and after click on hibernate in combobox - works ok

When I First click hibernate and then choose time - permanently hibernate

Wtf))

SGaist

Because your timeout variable is likely not initialised with a sensible value.

By the way, it looks like you don't even need that variable at all. You can query the value of your spin box when you build your command.

tosik

@SGaist U mean that I can directly transfer the value of spinbox to a variable when i build the command?

mrjj

@tosik
Hi,
Yes, instead of getting it via the Change Signal, you can just take it directly

http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qspinbox.html#value-prop

as in
int myval= ui->thespinbox->value();

SGaist

command = "timeout /t " + to_string(ui->spinBox->value()) + hiber;

tosik

@mrjj Nice) Thanx. But i steel need to fix the problem with initializing. Cause my command initialize when i click on Item in List. Like this

else if(item->text()=="Hibernate"){
        command = "timeout /t " + to_string(timeout) + hiber;

And If i click before i choose time from spinBox, and press ok button command will ignore spinbox value

Any way to fix this?

tosik

@SGaist said in Set value from SpinBox to variable:

ui->spinBox->value()

Ty for helping. @mrjj already answer me))))

P.S. Can u rep me, cause :

I saw that, but it looks like you are still using your member variable without setting it to a sensible value. However you really don't need that variable. Take again a look at my suggestion.

tosik

@SGaist Oh, sry mate. I paste old code. I already do that

void MainWindow::on_buttonBox_clicked(QAbstractButton *button)
{
    if(ui->buttonBox->standardButton(button) == QDialogButtonBox::Close) {
        close();
        }
    else if(ui->buttonBox->standardButton(button) == QDialogButtonBox::Ok) {
        system(command.c_str());
        }
    else {
        system("shutdown -a");
        }
}

void MainWindow::on_listWidget_itemClicked(QListWidgetItem *item)
{
    if(item->text()=="Shutdown"){
            command = "shutdown /s /t " + to_string(ui->spinBox->value());
    }
    else if(item->text()=="Hibernate"){
        command = "timeout /t " + to_string(ui->spinBox->value()) + hiber;
    }
}

As u see my command build when i click something in list(as u say). So I think i need paste my command build into "Ok" button.

In future i think i try to use Qproccess, cause now im so noob. And I dont think that i can do this)

SGaist

Your logic is a bit flawed.

You should rather build the command when you are going to use it based on the state of your application. Currently command will be empty until you click on an item.

You should rather build your command in on_buttonBox_clicked based on what you selected in your QListWidget.

Don't wait to learn ;)

tosik

@SGaist Something like this?

 else if(ui->buttonBox->standardButton(button) == QDialogButtonBox::Ok) {
        if(on_listWidget_itemClicked(QListWidgetItem *item) == "Shutdown"){
            command = "shutdown /s /t " + to_string(ui->spinBox->value());
    }
        system(command.c_str());
        }

SGaist

No, not by calling the slot like that, by retrieving the currently selected item and if there's one then apply the logic you want to build the command.

And you can also make command a locale variable.
