sometimes qt was ended forcefully, weird.

SGaist

Can you explain what kind of logic is required to be run in the resize event ?

Typically I do not see why you would need to add a widget there.

@SGaist
thanks for your time. my app is fullscreen always, and the main reason i do the initialization work in the resize event is, i need to know the size of the fullscreen, as a lot of drawing is based on this size. Most of the drawing is done in the memory, while the small part is done in paintEvent.
where do you think i should do these things? showEvent?

You can get the size (geometry) of your widget anywhere, without calling the stuff every time you resize.

If you want to do something just once, consider doing it inside your c'tor or use the showEvent, when you need the actual size.
(Your widget's size in c'tor and showEvent will / may be different, because of layouts)

c'tor

thanks, i tried to get the real fullscreen's size in the c'tor or in the showEvent, but the size was wrong. that's why i put those work in the resizeEvent and isVisible() block.

QScreen doesn't work differently if it is called in the ctor or anywhere else.

SGaist

Depending on what you need, I would rather go with changeEvent and check the QEvent::WindowStateChange event. You will know there when the window is fullscreen.

But again, doing stuff that depends on the specifics of being fullscreen is a bit surprising. Painting is usually done so that it does not directly depend on one specific size because even if fullscreen you may have different sizes.

@Christian-Ehrlicher
more precisely, what i need is the size of centralwidget when it's fullscreen. so i just use the width() and hegith() to obtain those when it's fullscreen.
i didn't use QScreen, should i?

@SGaist
there may be different ways to get the size, but i still don't have a clue why it produce such an error. it seems have nothing to do with the error, and why sometimes it's working, sometimes not.

I suggest you to use it so I would say it's worth a try reading the documentation, isn't it?

Then it doesn't sound like you should be looking at QScreen at all.

To get a size of widget (not the full screen, which you shouldn't be interested in) correctly it needs to be shown. If you call it too early, you get rubbish. Constructor is not the place. If in a showEvent(), IIRC you should call the base showEvent() before you try to read the size.

circle

@JonB
even call the base showEvent() first, i still can't read the right size of the centralwidget.
anyway, the size is not a problem, the problem is that weird errors reported has nothing to do with the code as far as i am concerned.

Again: use QScreen to determine the screen size!

@Christian-Ehrlicher
How will knowing the screen size help this user if he want to know the central widget size?

Christian Ehrlicher

@JonB said in sometimes qt was ended forcefully, weird.:

my app is fullscreen always

so...

JonB

@Christian-Ehrlicher
So? :) The central widget is some widget in the full screen app, but there can be all sorts round the edges. So the widget itself won't be the full screen. I'm thinking like the central widget area in a QMainWindow. I guess you're not?

Christian Ehrlicher

I don't see a need for all the calculation at all - using a proper layout will make all those stuff superfluous.

I agree! But it wasn't the question :)

@all,
thank you so much for your time. sorry i wasn't clear about my requirement. what i care is the centrawidget size when QMainWindow is in fullscreen.

again, i am posting the code with the erros,

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent)
    : QMainWindow(parent)
    , ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);
    showFullScreen();

    ui->dockWidget->setWidget(ui->tableWidget);

    ui->line1->hide();
}


void MainWindow::resizeEvent(QResizeEvent *event)
{
    QMainWindow::resizeEvent(event);

    // Your code here.
    static bool bOnlyOnce = true;
    if (bOnlyOnce && isVisible())
    {
        bOnlyOnce = false;
        
        memory allocation, file reading and data initialization

        QFileInfo fileInfo(QCoreApplication::applicationFilePath()); 
        if ()
            QMessageBox::information(this, "title", QString("%1").arg(fileInfo.size())); //***sometimes crash here ???
    
        get the size of centralwidget, prepare drawing environment

        ui->statusbar->addWidget(ui->lable1, 40); //***sometimes it crash here if i comment out QMessageBox line above*** ???
    }
}

now the QMessageBox line would crash sometimes(qtcreator says the process was ended forcefully), and if i comment out this line, the ui->statusbar line sometimes would report "Trying to construct an instance of an invalid type, type id: 1061" and the process was ended forcefully.
i haven't found any rules about "sometimes", sometimes it will crash several times continuously when i press CTRL+R, but sometimes the program works fine.
And it's working alwasys fine if i press F5 to debug the app.

In addition, in the old backup version, it's working always fine. this version just has more functions after the crash point.

As @J-Hilk already told you 4 days ago - don't create an eventloop in a resize event!

circle

@Christian-Ehrlicher
thanks, i am not 100% sure about that answer, but i will try another solution. now the question is, where do i get the size of centralwidget automatically when QMainWindows is in fullscreen (showFullScreen() in c'tor)? i tried showEvent and C'tor but failed to get the right size.

JonB

@circle
I admit I have not tried it but I would have expected it in showEvent() as we discussed earlier. Could you show where you put what code for that?
