CheckBox. Slot for when change is done by UI

Ankit.Jain

Hi,

Currently my code uses onCheckedChanged for calling some code when check-box value has changed. This is causing me some problems.

I want some code to be called only when the change is done by UI (user clicks on the checked box). Is there some slot to do this directly? I have my work arounds, but those will always cause the code to be messy.

@Ankit.Jain what about the clicked signal ?

onToggled is what you need:

This signal is emitted when a checkable button is interactively toggled by the user via touch, mouse, or keyboard.

@J.Hilk I'll try that out. Seems like my vision is starting to narrow down in these things. Thanks for the help

@GrecKo true, but usually you toggle the Checkbox from code vis setChecked, and that also triggers the signal

This may be the result of a user action, click() slot activation, or because setChecked() is called.

?

@J.Hilk You are talking about QWidget QCheckBox, OP is asking about QtQuick.Controls (2?) CheckBox

@GrecKo
you are absolutely correct.

I'm off my game to day! I think I may require more sleep....
