How to call pushbutton in main.cpp

[asttekin]

I want to start the server when I press "Start" button.How to do it?

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);

    QWidget widget;
    QLineEdit *pLineEditPortNumber = new QLineEdit;
    pLineEditPortNumber->setPlaceholderText("Enter Port Number");
    pLineEditPortNumber->setInputMask("99999");
    QPushButton *pPushButtonStart = new QPushButton("Start");


    QVBoxLayout *pVBoxLayoutMain = new QVBoxLayout;
    pVBoxLayoutMain->addWidget(pLineEditPortNumber);
    pVBoxLayoutMain->addWidget(pPushButtonStart);
    widget.setLayout(pVBoxLayoutMain);

    MyServer Server;
    Server.StartServer();

    widget.show();
    return a.exec();
}

hi @asttekin

Easy enough I think ;-)

QObject::connect(pPushButtonStart, &QPushButton::clicked, &Server, &MyServer::StartServer);

as main is not derived from QObject, you have to use the Static connect call.

Thanks.Well, how to pass the portNumber to StartServer.

@asttekin

QObject::connect(pLineEditPortNumber, &QLineEdit::textEdited, &Server, &MyServer::setPort); // assumption setPort exists and accepts an QString
