How can I connect one checkbox and other checkboxs

Mihan

I want to use one checkbox to check other checkboxs. And when one of other checkbox is unchecked, the first checkbox will be partially checked. Also when all of other checkboxs are unchecked, the first checkbox will be unchecked. Now I can change the first checkbox state(tristate) when I check other checkboxs. The problem is when I check the first checkbox, it should control other checkboxs to become checked or unchecked, but I use setcheckstate() to change them one by one , it will send the statechanged(int) signal at the same time.

//connection
connect(ui->AllCheck,SIGNAL(clicked()),this,SLOT(Controler(int)));
    connect(ui->NoteCheck,SIGNAL(stateChanged(int)),this,SLOT(Controler(int)),Qt::QueuedConnection);
    connect(ui->TestCheck,SIGNAL(stateChanged(int)),this,SLOT(Controler(int)),Qt::QueuedConnection);
    connect(ui->WarnningCheck,SIGNAL(stateChanged(int)),this,SLOT(Controler(int)),Qt::QueuedConnection);
    connect(ui->OthersCheck,SIGNAL(stateChanged(int)),this,SLOT(Controler(int)),Qt::QueuedConnection);
...
//SLOT
if(sender()->objectName() == "AllCheck")
    {
        switch (ui->AllCheck->checkState()) {
        case Qt::Unchecked:
            ui->AllCheck->setCheckState(Qt::Checked);
            ui->NoteCheck->setCheckState(Qt::Checked);
ui->TestCheck->setCheckState(Qt::Checked);
            ui->WarnningCheck->setCheckState(Qt::Checked);
            ui->OthersCheck->setCheckState(Qt::Checked);
            break;
        case Qt::PartiallyChecked:
            break;
case Qt::Checked:
            ui->AllCheck->setCheckState(Qt::Unchecked);
            ui->NoteCheck->setCheckState(Qt::Unchecked);
            ui->TestCheck->setCheckState(Qt::Unchecked);
            ui->WarnningCheck->setCheckState(Qt::Unchecked);
            ui->OthersCheck->setCheckState(Qt::Unchecked);
            break;
        default:
            break;
        }
    }
if(ui->TestCheck->checkState() == Qt::Checked && ui->NoteCheck->checkState() == Qt::Checked
    && ui->WarnningCheck->checkState() == Qt::Checked && ui->OthersCheck->checkState() == Qt::Checked)
    {
        ui->AllCheck->setCheckState(Qt::Checked);
    }
    else if(ui->TestCheck->checkState() == Qt::Unchecked && ui->NoteCheck->checkState() == Qt::Unchecked
         && ui->WarnningCheck->checkState() == Qt::Unchecked && ui->OthersCheck->checkState() == Qt::Unchecked)
    {
        ui->AllCheck->setCheckState(Qt::Unchecked);
    }
    else
    {
        ui->AllCheck->setCheckState(Qt::PartiallyChecked);
    }

Hi
maybe you can use
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qsignalblocker.html
to avoid state change signals while you update the set of checkboxes ?
