Qt DoubleSpin Box value changed slot has called twice

raven-worx

@Sowmiya-R said in Qt DoubleSpin Box value changed slot has called twice:

if you are not able to reproduce the problem, run it in debugging mode put a break point in slot function and run.

so did you compare the stack-traces of the two calls?
Then it should be pretty clear what causes the 2 calls.

Sowmiya R

@raven-worx
ya, I have checked the stack traces.
both call has same traces

on_doublespinbox_valuechaged()
qt_static_metacall
qt_metacall

@Sowmiya-R
then you probably have done the connection to the signal twice.

Sowmiya R

@raven-worx

I did't use any connect statement.
From Qtdoublespinbox right click option , I have clicked "Go to slot " and I selected value changed(QString) signal.
then it created slot function in CPP.

This is how I made the connection.

@Sowmiya-R
and no calls to QMetaObject::connectSlotsByName() for example?
I don't know if this is called implicitly. But you can try to rename the slot.

Sowmiya R

@raven-worx

Can you please elaborate your answer.

thanks,

@Sowmiya-R
simply try to rename the on_doublespinbox_valuechaged() slot

Sowmiya R

@raven-worx

I have renamed the slot and connected in following way,

connect(ui->doubleSpinBox, SIGNAL(valueChanged(QString)), this, SLOT(doubleSpinBoxvalueChanged1(QString)));

Now also, the slot has called twice only if I click Qt doublespinbox up/down control.

If I press keyboard up/down key or mouse scroll up/down button, the slot has called once.

@Sowmiya-R
there must be anything in your code causing this misbehavior.
Did you reimplement any event-handlers, event-filters, widgets, etc. in your application?

Hi
Tried with 5.5.1 in default GUI project
Cannot reproduce.

I have created a sample application, it contains only QtdoubleSpinbox.
I have not overridden any methods.

below is my CPP code

#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"
#include "qdebug.h"
#include <qspinbox.h>

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{

    ui->setupUi(this);
    connect(ui->doubleSpinBox, SIGNAL(valueChanged(QString)), this, SLOT(on_doubleSpinBox_valueChanged1(QString)));
}

MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
    delete ui;
}

void MainWindow::on_doubleSpinBox_valueChanged1(const QString &arg1)
{
    qDebug()<<"doubleSpinBox value changed: "<<arg1;
}

@Sowmiya-R
Must be something in your Qt/compiler I guess ??
Can you try this test

@Sowmiya-R ,
Hi,
You can use Qt::UniqueConnection in Connect statement.

@mrjj

I have tested your code.

I am able to reproduce the same in debug mode.
Can you please put a break point in slot function and run it in debug mode and see.

mrjj

@Sowmiya-R
Ahh, now i see.
Yes the debugger seems to interfere with event loop so it does indeed call it twice on one click
if u place break point there. Else Not.

void MainWindow::on_doubleSpinBox_valueChanged(const QString &arg1)
{
   static int hmm=0;
    qDebug() << arg1;
    hmm++;
    qDebug() << hmm;
}

"1,00"
1
"2,00"
2

I would guess that pausing it triggers the repeat feature and since it dont get an mouse release event its why.

Sowmiya R

I have developed a application using Qt, there regardless of debug mode or release mode value changed slot has called twice only on spinbox box up/down controls.
I try to reproduce the same in sample application, but its happening only in debug mode.

There is something missing in my application. I will check it out.
Thank you guys for you suggestions.

mrjj

@Sowmiya-R

But it ONLY happens for me if i set break point.
Never, ever else.

Do it happen for you if yo have NO break points ?

Sowmiya R

@mrjj

yeah!

Without break point also its calling twice.

mrjj

@Sowmiya-R
Ok, that does not happen for me.
Without break point it works correctly here.

I have no idea what could be wrong with your Qt.

Since you are using a clean project to test, i assume is something with your pc or Qt.

The double call to slot happened in my case only with a breakpoint in the slot function, otherwise it is called once only. The second call was triggered by a timer event
