Pushbutton crashed.

instantiate: emitPressed(); emitRelease();

Mmm, strange that you need to "instantiate" what seems to be signals...

[JonB]

@Gutks
Yes, but why are you doing so, given that emitPressed() is not documented and private to the innards of QAbstractButton? Which is why you are running into the compilation errors.... My question is: why are trying to do anything like this? The fact that it's in QAbstractButtonPrivate should give you a clue.

[Gutks]

@JonB

The implementation of this function is accessing Q_D, since I am re-implementing it, I thought I could do the same.

void QAbstractButton::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *e)

I will study the qt designer, to try to solve, otherwise, I will create an Auxiliary button to remove in the edit line. I think it's simpler than using events

[JonB]

@Gutks
But why are you "re-implementing" it at all? Usually a user class sub-classes, not re-implements. Re-implementing is fraught, e.g. what happens if the internals change over time. Since you say "I'm a beginner" I cannot see why you would want to do such a thing, when 99.9% of other users do not.

I keep saying the same thing, so I'll leave it to you now.

[Gutks]

@JonB
Okay, thanks for trying to help. I will search for a solution to my problem.

@Gutks

I already gave you an almost step by step manual how to solve your problem... You dont need Q_Q or reimplement any signals.

[JonB]

@Gutks
Both @Pl45m4 & I are trying to say you don't need to go down the route you are on....

if(p->button()==Qt::LeftButton){ui->lineEdit1->setText(QString::number(value1++));}

else{if(p->button()==Qt::RightButton){ui->lineEdit1->setText(QString::number(value1--));}

From your requirements it's apparent you need a custom QPushButton that extends existing one by adding just the rightclicked() signal, and nothing else. So you'll have both signals (existing left click) and new one (right click) to connect as you wish.

Please take a look at this SO question & answers.

@Gutks
If what @Pablo-J-Rogina has discerned is correct --- you just want a left-/right-click to increment/decrement a number in a QLineEdit, is that right? --- then you would be better just using a QSpinBox, which is for entering numbers, and you wouldn't have any of this.....

[Pablo J. Rogina]

@JonB said in Pushbutton crashed.:

then you would be better just using a QSpinBox,

I think the goal here is the rightclicked() signal, what you connect that to is not relevant at this point

[JonB]

@Pablo-J-Rogina
Oh, I see. You may be right. Or it just might turn out the user was going to use a left-/-right-click on a button to inc/dec a number, you never know... :)

On a different tone, it's "unusual" to have the user right-click on a button. Possible, but possibly not intuitive. A "rocker" pushbutton (click at left/right for different behaviour, but with left mouse) might be another possibility.

    // Not needed, since one signal which sends MouseEvent to get handled in slot
    //void leftClicked();
    //void rightClicked();

    void myClicked(QMouseEvent *e);

#endif // LR_CLICKBUTTON_H

Button.cpp

}

void LR_ClickButton::mouseReleaseEvent(QMouseEvent *e)

    if(e->button() == Qt::LeftButton)
    {
        qDebug() << "Left";
        emit myClicked(e);
    }
    else if (e->button() == Qt::RightButton) {

        qDebug() << "Right";
        emit myClicked(e);

    }
        QPushButton::mouseReleaseEvent(e);
}

MainWindow.h

public slots:
    void myButtonClicked(QMouseEvent *e);

MainWindow.cpp

// #########  C'TOR  #####################
    LR_ClickButton *button1 = new LR_ClickButton(this);

    centralWidget()->layout()->addWidget(button1);

    connect(button1, &LR_ClickButton::myClicked, this, &MainWindow::myButtonClicked);

// ######################################


void MainWindow::myButtonClicked(QMouseEvent *e)
{
    if(e->button() == Qt::LeftButton)
    {
        // Of course you can put anything you want here
        int val = ui->spinBox->value();
        ui->spinBox->setValue(val + 1);
    }
    else if (e->button() == Qt::RightButton) {

        // or here
        int val = ui->spinBox->value();
        ui->spinBox->setValue(val - 1);
    }
}

Wasn't that hard, right? :)

Result:

3 left-clicks increase value by 3.

2 right-clicks decrease value by 2 again.

Might not be the most intuitive solution but this is actually used a lot in games (with a hint to this behavior ofc)

[JonB]

@Pl45m4
Point taken! Not in any of the games I play that I can think of, though most of mine are 2D turn-based from the last millennium... ;-)

[Gutks]

@Christian-Ehrlicher @Pl45m4 @JonB @Pablo-J-Rogina

Thank you very much, you don't know how it helped me. Otherwise, I would have to create an internal storage system for each button between the tabs and remove it when editing the line.

Yes, and a tool I am creating to help the 1 game community. How does it activate as resolved?

@Gutks said in Pushbutton crashed.:

Either at bottom of page Topic Tools button, or if you feel a particular post answered it the vertical ... button at the right on that post.

@JonB

This is exactly what I was expecting and what I thought of.... These type of games, where you have ingame shops and a lot of inventories... If you left-click an item, you probably buy it from shop or use it, if you right-click, you drop it or sell it :)
