How to change the text of a pushbuttom with a dialog?

MasterBlade

Hello, I have a pushbuttom that looks like this.

When a user clicks it, I want a dialog appear, then the user types in 3 integers and clicks OK. Then the first 2 integers appear on the pushbuttom.

I tried to make a new QtDesignerFormClass for that dialog, and used on_Pushbuttom_clicked(), but I didn't know how to return those 3 integers. Maybe this is not the best way to do it. Any suggestions?

@MasterBlade Implement getter methods in your dialog which return these integers.

But this dialog is in a different class and file. How can I set value to another class and file?

I used these functions:

void Database::on_Numbers_clicked()
{
DBNoChange *db = new DBNoChange;
db->setWindowTitle(tr("Set Value"));
db->show();
}

void DBNoChange::on_Confirm_accepted()
{
bool ok1, ok2, ok3;
uint16_t no1, no2, no3;
no1 = ui->no1_value->text().toUInt(&ok1);
no2 = ui->no2_value->text().toUInt(&ok2);
no3 = ui->no3_value->text().toUInt(&ok3);
if (ok1 && ok2 && ok3){
Database::Setno1(no1);
Database::Setno2(no2);
Database::Setno3(no3);
close();
}
else{
QMessageBox::warning(this, "Input Error", "Please Enter Valid Integers.");
}
}

void DBNoChange::on_Confirm_rejected()
{
close();
}

But I got an error message saying "error: cannot call member function 'void Database::Setno1(uint16_t)' without object"
Database::Setno1(no1);

@MasterBlade This is actually way easier:

void Database::on_Numbers_clicked()
{
    DBNoChange db;
    db.setWindowTitle(tr("Set Value"));
    db.exec();
    // Here use db.number1(), db.number2(), db.number3() to get the numbers
}

int DBNoChange::number1()
{
    return ui->lineEdit1->text().toInt();
}

// same for number2() and number3()

That's helpful. Thanks!

My next problem is that when I click 'X' on top-right corner of "Set Value", I can only get some random numbers from its functions. I even tried to give those variables new values on QObject::destroyed(); but that won't work.

Is there a way to prevent it?

void Database::on_Numbers_clicked()
{
    uint16_t no1, no2, no3;
    DBNoChange db;
    db.setWindowTitle(tr("Set Value"));
    db.Setno1(ui->no1->text().toUInt());
    db.Setno2(ui->no2->text().toUInt());
    db.Setno3(ui->no3->text().toUInt());
    db.exec();
    no1 = db.Getno1();
    no2 = db.Getno2();
    no3 = db.Getno3();
    ui->no1->setText(QString::number(no1).rightJustified(3, '0'));
    ui->no2->setText(QString::number(no2).rightJustified(3, '0'));
    ui->no3->setText(QString::number(no3).rightJustified(3, '0'));

    if (no1 || no2 || no3){
        ui->Numbers->setText(tr("Card: ") + ui->no1->text() + "_" + ui->no2->text());
    }
}

void DBNoChange::on_Confirm_accepted()
{
    uint16_t no1v, no2v, no3v;
    bool ok1, ok2, ok3;
    no1v = ui->no1_value->text().toUInt(&ok1);
    no2v = ui->no2_value->text().toUInt(&ok2);
    no3v = ui->no3_value->text().toUInt(&ok3);
    if (ok1 && ok2 && ok3){
        no1 = no1v;
        no2 = no2v;
        no3 = no3v;
        close();
    }
    else{
        QMessageBox::warning(this, "Input Error", "Please Enter Valid Integers.");
    }
}

void DBNoChange::on_Confirm_rejected()
{
    no1 = ui->no1_value->text().toUInt();
    no2 = ui->no2_value->text().toUInt();
    no3 = ui->no3_value->text().toUInt();
    close();
}

void DBNoChange::Setno1(uint16_t no1)
{
    ui->no1_value->setText(QString::number(no1));
}

void DBNoChange::Setno2(uint16_t no2)
{
    ui->no2_value->setText(QString::number(no2));
}

void DBNoChange::Setno3(uint16_t no3)
{
    ui->no3_value->setText(QString::number(no3));
}

void DBNoChange::on_DBNoChange_destroyed()
{
    no1 = ui->no1_value->text().toUInt();
    no2 = ui->no2_value->text().toUInt();
    no3 = ui->no3_value->text().toUInt();
}

Although we can tell you how to get this right if you really want, why do you want to know what values those widgets have when the user clicks the X close button in your dialog?

If the user closes the dialog via the X it's the same as if he clicks your Cancel button. The return result from the QDialog::exec() will tell you whether the user clicked the OK button versus the Cancel/X buttons to exit the dialog, and if it's the latter you really ought not care/examine the values in the widgets...?

Sorry I misunderstood it.
So I can use if (db.exec() == QDialog::Accepted) to determine if user clicked 'Yes'?

And please tell me more on why I get random numbers if a user clicks 'X'. I'm a real noob and just want to know more about the mechanism of how things were done.

Hi

if (db.exec() == QDialog::Accepted)
to determine if user clicked 'Yes'?

Yes. it stays inside exec() until user accept or reject the dialog.
So only when result is QDialog::Accepted , you should use the numbers etc.

And please tell me more on why I get random numbers if a user clicks 'X'.
Most likely you acces the variables when no values have been assigned.

uint16_t no1, no2, no3;
those will be random numbers if not assigned and u use them.
try
uint16_t no1 = 0, no2 = 0, no3 = 0;

and see if the random numbers are now zero.
