<![CDATA[What are the differences between accept and setResult]]>Hello everyone,
Could somebody give me some advice?

I create a sub dialog. I want to set the result to Accepted when I click some button. So I use code "setResult(Accepted)" in the slot function. But it doesn't work. The result is still Rejected. But if I use code "accept()" in the slot function, it works.

So I wonder what are the differences between accept() and setResult(Accepted)?

Thanks in advance.

I use accept() or reject(). But the dialog doesn't close automatically. I have to use close() to close it.

OK. Thank you very much.

This is due to the fact that QDialog::closeEvent() sets the result code depending on the visibility of the dialog since this event can also be triggered from the outside. I would recommend to use accept()/reject()/done() as this is the recommended way stated in the documentation.

Yes, it should be a modal dialog.
Here are some codes.
At the begining, I use setResult.
void VXFaultDialog::onBtnCloseClicked()
{
setResult(Accepted);
close();
}
But it doesn't work. So I choose accept();
void VXFaultDialog::onBtnCloseClicked()
{
accept();
close();
}
Then it works.

I add close() after accept() and setResult(Accepted).

Please show us some code - there is no need to call close() after accept(), only needed when you want to close the window when you only call setResult().
Do you show a modal dialog? If so how to you exit the dialog when calling setResult()?

Thank you very much.
I see. I add close() after accept() and setResult(Accepted).
But the result code is not what I set by using setResult(Accepted). Do you mean I should overwrite setResult() or some other functions?
Thank you again.

If your result code is not what you expect you maybe overwrite it somewhere in between.
