how to read the text of pushbutton in XML Qt

[Ratzz]

@sankarapandiyan

yes but using QDomText
But it creates the text node.

[sankarapandiyan]

@Ratzz by directly reading ??

[jsulm]

@sankarapandiyan I don't understand you: setAttribute sets an attribute, it does not read anything. So, what do you want to do?
If your attribute does not have a value you can pass empty string as value:

elemTab1.setAttribute(text1, "");

[sankarapandiyan]

@Ratzz thanks a lot

@sankarapandiyan

May be this way

    QString text1 = ui->pushbutton1->text();
    QDomText t = doc.createTextNode(text1);
    tag.appendChild(t);

[sankarapandiyan]

@Ratzz i think it will work i will try thanks a lot

@sankarapandiyan

May be this

void MainWindow::on_okbutn_clicked()
{
    QDomDocument document;

    QDomElement root = document.createElement("pushbuttn_text");
    document.appendChild(root);

    QDomElement elemTab1  = document.createElement("ss");
    root.appendChild(elemTab1 );

    QString text1 = ui->pushbutton1->text();
    QDomText t = document.createTextNode(text1);
    elemTab1 .appendChild(t);

    QFile file("C:\\Users\\name\\Desktop\\test.xml");
    if(!file.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly | QIODevice::Text)) {
        qDebug() << "Open the file for writing failed";
    } else {
        QTextStream stream(&file);
        stream << document.toString();
        file.close();
        qDebug() << "Writing is done";
    }
}

@Ratzz yes it works but its repeat for three times i dont know why ! :-(
but anyway thanks all for helping me

For people passing by, using the entire xml module for operations like these is like using a bazooka to kill a fly.
QXmlStreamWriter is more than enough and it's also probably easier to use

[sankarapandiyan]

@VRonin yeah! i know i will try surely

Can I see your code??

[sankarapandiyan]

@Ratzz <pushbuttn_text>
<Scanmode tab1="DEFAULT"/>
<ss 3D_WIDE="">3D_WIDE</ss>
</pushbuttn_text>
<pushbuttn_text>
<Scanmode tab2="MACULA"/>
<ss 3D_WIDE="">3D_WIDE</ss>
</pushbuttn_text>
<pushbuttn_text>
<Scanmode tab3="GLAUCOMA"/>
<ss 3D_WIDE="">3D_WIDE</ss>
</pushbuttn_text>

@sankarapandiyan
Its the output.
You may have pressed button 3 times?
Can you show me CODE?

[sankarapandiyan]

@Ratzz

       {                          
            QDomDocument document;
             QDomElement root = document.createElement("OCT_TOUCH");
              document.appendChild(root);
              qDebug() <<ui->wide3ddefltbtn->text ();

                   for (int var = 0; var < ui->mwtabwidget->count(); ++var) {
                   qDebug() << ui->mwtabwidget->tabText(var);

                 QString text = ui->mwtabwidget->tabText(var);
                 QDomElement elemTab = document.createElement("Scanmode") ;
                  elemTab.setAttribute("tab"+QString::number(var+1), text);
        
        
        QDomElement root = document.createElement("pushbuttn_text");
            document.appendChild(root);
            QDomElement elemTab1  = document.createElement("ss");
            root.appendChild(elemTab1 );

            QString text1 = ui->wide3ddefltbtn->text();
            QDomText t = document.createTextNode(text1);
            elemTab1 .appendChild(t);
            root.appendChild(elemTab);
 }

      QString filename1 = QDesktopServices::storageLocation(QDesktopServices::DataLocation)+"/home/newuser/Desktop/filenamemw.xml";
      QFile file("/home/newuser/Desktop/filenamemw.xml");
      if(!file.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly | QIODevice::Text)) {
        qDebug() << "Open the file for writing failed";
      } else {
        QTextStream stream(&file);
        stream << document.toString();
        file.close();
        qDebug() << "Writing is done";
      }

[jsulm]

@sankarapandiyan Can you post the WHOLE code of that method?
What is before

{                          
            QDomDocument document;

?
Do you have a loop there?

[sankarapandiyan]

@jsulm no no there is no loop

[jsulm]

@sankarapandiyan Actually there is:

for (int var = 0; var < ui->mwtabwidget->count(); ++var) {
    qDebug() << ui->mwtabwidget->tabText(var);
    QString text = ui->mwtabwidget->tabText(var);
    QDomElement elemTab = document.createElement("Scanmode") ;
    elemTab.setAttribute("tab"+QString::number(var+1), text);
           
    QDomElement root = document.createElement("pushbuttn_text");

[sankarapandiyan]

@jsulm but that is for reading the tabwidget of tabs only i think !!!!!!

[Ratzz]

@sankarapandiyan
You have missed a appendChild to the main root element.
