Example of calling a function to parent?

[JonB]

@Panoss
Your ArticlesWindow::openPositionsForm() goes class positionsForm *form = new class positionsForm(model, this);. I want to know how many times you call openPositionsForm(), I believe you create each time you do something like click on something. I want to know whether the number of times you call openPositionsForm() (number of times you click to open it??) is or is not equal to the number of times you report

updateParent called!!
ArticlesWindow::positionChanged positionsForm(0x5de4a24160, name = "positionsForm")

gets output. If you open & close the "positions form" 10 times do you get 10 "updateParent called!!" output?

Meanwhile, where you have emit valueChanged(value); let's have a

qDebug() << "emit valueChanged(value);"  << value;

1st opening of the positionsForm. Edited data and updated:
updateParent called!!
ArticlesWindow::positionChanged positionsForm(0xc2423e7660, name = "positionsForm")
updateParent called!!
ArticlesWindow::positionChanged positionsForm(0xc2423e7660, name = "positionsForm")

2nd  opening of the positionsForm. Edited data and updated:
updateParent called!!
ArticlesWindow::positionChanged positionsForm(0xc2423e3980, name = "positionsForm")
updateParent called!!
ArticlesWindow::positionChanged positionsForm(0xc2423e3980, name = "positionsForm")

3rd  opening of the positionsForm. Edited data and updated:
updateParent called!!
ArticlesWindow::positionChanged positionsForm(0xc2423e86a0, name = "positionsForm")
updateParent called!!
ArticlesWindow::positionChanged positionsForm(0xc2423e86a0, name = "positionsForm")

So no matter how many times I open (and close) the positionsForm (which, as you correctly supposed, is created each time I click on a button), the function (positionChanged) gets called twice.
I 'll have to look more thoroughly in the code, something stupid I must have done somewhere.

@JonB said in Example of calling a function to parent?:

qDebug() << "emit valueChanged(value);"  << value;

updateParent called!!
ArticlesWindow::positionChanged positionsForm(0xba0e7004e0, name = "positionsForm")
emit valueChanged(value); 1
updateParent called!!
ArticlesWindow::positionChanged positionsForm(0xba0e7004e0, name = "positionsForm")
emit valueChanged(value); 1

The signal is emited twice???

@Panoss
OK to the it-only-ever-gets-called-twice. (You may still have a leak on non-destruction, we'll leave that for now.)

So... just how many times does your code call positionsForm::setValue(int value)?? Could that be twice, somewhere?

Put a break point and look at the stack trace upon each call.

As @JonB said, nothing is delete until you set it with:
setAttribute(Qt::WA_DeleteOnClose);

[Panoss]

Whereever in my code I open a form, this:

form.setAttribute(Qt::WA_DeleteOnClose);

is always included.

I dubugged it but didn't find anything.
Anyway, as it's not causing any issues I 'll leave as is.
Better update twice than none! ):

@Panoss You could add

qDebug() << sender();

to your slot - it will print the pointer to the emitter/sender of the signal. Then you will see whether the sender is always the same or different.

[Panoss]

@jsulm I did it, the sender is always the same.

[Panoss]

I have modified the Signal - Slot mechanism so that makes more sense:
Receiver:

articleswindow.cpp
void ArticlesWindow::positionChanged(){
    qDebug() << "ArticlesWindow::positionChanged";
}
void ArticlesWindow::openPositionsForm(){    
    class positionsForm *form = new class positionsForm(model, this);
    connect(form, &positionsForm::valueChanged, this , &ArticlesWindow::positionChanged);

Sender:

positionsform.h
  public slots:
    void emitSignal();
  signals:
    void valueChanged(int newValue);

positionsform.cpp
positionsForm::positionsForm(QSqlRelationalTableModel *parentmodel, QWidget *parent) : QDialog(parent), ui(new Ui::positionsForm){
    connect(ui->positionsTable->model(),
            SIGNAL(dataChanged(QModelIndex,QModelIndex)), this,
            SLOT(emitSignal()));
}
void positionsForm::emitSignal(){    
    emit valueChanged(1);
}

[mpergand]

This code looks strange ...

class positionsForm *form = new class positionsForm(model, this);

The class name doesn't start with a capital letter and looking like a function, confusing.
Why are you using class , obviously positionsForm is a class.

and finally:

connect(ui->positionsTable->model(),
            SIGNAL(dataChanged(QModelIndex,QModelIndex)), this,
            SLOT(emitSignal()));

since model is defined in ArticlesWindow why not make the connection straight away in that class ?
