spinbox input add rows ??

[n-2204]

how to add rows based on spinbox input ?
i have qtableviiew so when user enter number in spinbox number. of rows should be added how to do this ?
as i can add row using 2 ways on button click

1.
add row{
 model->insertRow(model->rowCount(QModelIndex()));
}
2.
QList<QStandardItem*> newRow;
QStandardItem* item1 = new QStandardItem(QString(""));
newRow.append(item1);
model->appendRow(newRow);

how to do ??
thanks in advance

Either way, get the number value from the spin box and do a loop that many times to add multiple rows? There is also a insertRows(int row, int count, const QModelIndex &parent = QModelIndex()) to insert multiple rows at a time.

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/signalsandslots.html

Connect to the valueChanged(int) signal https://doc.qt.io/Qt-5/qspinbox.html#valueChanged

It is up to you to figure out if value has increased or decreased but you can figure it out using rowCount()

@artwaw
this is not working why??

QObject::connect(ui.spinBox, SIGNAL(valueChanged(int)), ui.tableView, SLOT(setTableRows()));
void tool::setTableRows()
{
int rows = ui.spinBox->value();
model->setRowCount(rows);
}

Because you did something wrong.
I would guess ui.tableView is not the correct receiver.

Use the new signal/slot syntax to catch such errors during compile time.

[n-2204]

tried after change ui.tableview to model but not working

    QObject:: connect(ui.spinBox, SIGNAL(valueChanged(int)), model, SLOT(setTableRows())); 
void tool::setTableRows()
{
     int rows = ui.spinBox->value();
model->setRowCount(rows);
}

or tried using insertrows also not working

   QObject:: connect(ui.spinBox, SIGNAL(valueChanged(int)), model, SLOT(setTableRows())); 
 void tool::setTableRows()
{
int noofrows = ui.spinBox->value();
for (int i = 0;i < noofrows;++i)
{
    model->insertRows(i, model->rowCount(QModelIndex()));
}
}

[JonB]

@n-2204
First, put in debug/print statements just to see if slot called, instead of relying on seeing row count increase.

Secondly, you have

 QObject:: connect(ui.spinBox, SIGNAL(valueChanged(int)), model, SLOT(setTableRows())); 

but

 void tool::setTableRows()

Is model of class tool? Because if not you are not connecting the slot.

If you followed @Christian-Ehrlicher's suggestion of changing to new signal/slot syntax and never used SIGNAL/SLOT() macros you would find out, and your coding would be better....

And finally I doubt you really intend

model->insertRows(i, model->rowCount(QModelIndex()));

Why rowCount() as the number of rows to add?? I would have thought given your loop you would want 1 there. You are confusing insertRows() to add multiple rows without a loop versus a loop to add one row at a time....

[n-2204]

@JonB yes tool is my class

model = new QStandardItemModel(10, 13, this)
ui.tableView->setModel(model);

[JonB]

@n-2204
You seem to have:

    QObject:: connect(ui.spinBox, SIGNAL(valueChanged(int)), model, SLOT(setTableRows())); 
void tool::setTableRows()

You have just said that model is of type QStandardItemModel.

But setTableRows() is a method of tool.

And earlier you had:

QObject::connect(ui.spinBox, SIGNAL(valueChanged(int)), ui.tableView, SLOT(setTableRows()));

which had the same issue,

For the third time, if you followed https://wiki.qt.io/New_Signal_Slot_Syntax you would get compile-time help preventing you doing what you are trying to do.

[VRonin]

I suspect the 3rd argument might be this. You can at least put the connect inside a Q_ASSUME() so you get a runtime crash in debug mode if the connect fails

[n-2204]

yes, thanks using this works
but what happening is i added 10 rows and when i change value in spinbox to 1 then no. of rows in table also changing to 1

so i think using loop this prblm will be solved

int noofrows = ui.spinBox->value();
   for (int i = 0;i < noofrows;i++)
{
   model->insertRows(i,noofrows);
}

if use this loop when i enter 1 in spinbox it adds two rows ?

[JonB]

@n-2204
I already told you about that earlier.

And finally I doubt you really intend

model->insertRows(i, model->rowCount(QModelIndex()));

Why rowCount() as the number of rows to add?? I would have thought given your loop you would want 1 there. You are confusing insertRows() to add multiple rows without a loop versus a loop to add one row at a time....

EITHER a for loop with insertRow(), OR no for loop and insertRows(). You really should be able to understand this.

Put some qDebug() statements in to see for yourself what is going on. That is what debugging is about.

ok understood
thank you all

 tooll::tool(QWidget* parent)

  {
  ui.setupUi(this);
 model = new QStandardItemModel(10, 13, this)
 ui.tableView->setModel(model);
 connect(ui.spinBox, SIGNAL(valueChanged(int)), model, 
 SLOT(setTableRows())); 
}
void tool::setTable2Rows()
   { 
 int noofrows2 = ui.spinBox_2->value();
 for (int i = 0;i < noofrows2;++i)
  {
      model2->insertRow(i);
    //qDebug() << i;
}
}

when i am using new signal/slot why i am getting error
(Error (active) E0304 no instance of overloaded function)

 connect(ui.spinBox, &QSpinBox::valueChanged, this,&tool::setTableRows);
connect( sender, &Sender::valueChanged,    receiver, &Receiver::updateValue);

[jsulm]

@n-2204 Please post whole error message. Does your tooll class have setTableRows slot? I'm asking because I only see setTable2Rows()

[n-2204]

yes slot setTablerow() is also there

 void tool::setTableRows()
{ 
int noofrows = ui.spinBox->value();
for (int i = 0;i < noofrows;++i)
{
  model->insertRow(i);
//qDebug() << i;
} 

c++ no instance of overloaded function matches the argument list argument types are: (QSpinBox *, <unknown-type>, tooll , void (tool::)())

@n-2204 said in spinbox input add rows ??:

tooll::tool(QWidget* parent)

????

What's the name of the class? tooll or tool? looks like a big mess here

How about taking a single look into the documentation? The problem is exactly explained there.

Simply writing something without understanding what you're doing doesn't help you at all.

[n-2204]

thanks for sharing ref doc, its done

 connect(ui.spinBox, QOverload<int>::of(&QSpinBox::valueChanged), 
         this, &tool::setTableRows);

[n-2204]

what changes need to do to end the row at end of row, now when i enter value in spinbox row is adding in top but i need to add the row at end how to do ?

 void tool::setTableRows()
{
int noofrows = ui.spinBox->value();
for (int i = 0;i < noofrows;++i)
{
   model->insertRow(i);
}
 }
connect(ui.spinBox, QOverload<int>::of(&QSpinBox::valueChanged), 
         this, &tool::setTableRows);

[jsulm]

@n-2204 https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qabstractitemmodel.html#insertRow
"Inserts a single row before the given row in the child items of the parent specified".
So, what do you think should you pass as row to insertRow to add at the end of the table?

Further to @jsulm. insertRow() says

Note: This function calls the virtual method insertRows.

And in the docs for insertRows, immediately adjacent to insertRow, if you read it it actually tells you what to pass so that

the rows are appended to any existing rows

Please take the time to read docs....

how can i set value of a spinbox and also edittable for user ?

 void tool::setTable2Rows()
 {
QAbstractItemModel* table2 = ui.tableView_2->model();
int rows2 = ui.spinBox_2->value();
  ui.spinBox->setValue(10);//this is not working
  model2->setRowCount(rows2);
}

if i setvalue 10 then that no. of rows should be there

[JonB]

@n-2204 said in spinbox input add rows ??:

ui.spinBox->setValue(10);//this is not working

Don't what you mean. "Not working" could indicate anything. I imagine this works perfectly well.

how can i set value of a spinbox and also edittable for user ?

if i setvalue 10 then that no. of rows should be there

Don't know what these mean either.

[n-2204]

not working means value is not set to 10

and when i setvalue as 10 , 10 rows should be there in my table
also when user change the spinbox value to 11 or 8 no. of rows in table should update

[JonB]

@n-2204 said in spinbox input add rows ??:

not working means value is not set to 10

What value is not set to 10? You can see what it sets:

ui.spinBox->setValue(10);

I would bet my bottom $ that it does exactly that.

and when i setvalue as 10 , 10 rows should be there in my table

Your code has

model2->setRowCount(rows2);

so that is what it does.

also when user change the spinbox value to 11 or 8 no. of rows in table should update

Which spinbox? Only if you call the code to set the rows when the spin value changes, and only if the code is correct. Which i have to say does not look like the case for the 4 lines of code you have shown...

[n-2204]

code:

 tool::tool(QWidget* parent)
: QMainWindow(parent)
{
ui.setupUi(this);
model = new QStandardItemModel(0, 13, this);//row*col
model2 = new QStandardItemModel(0, 19, this)
ui.spinBox->setValue(10);
ui.spinBox_2->setValue(10);

using this in spinbox value is 10 but the same no. of rows is not updated in my table
so when i set value in spinbox same no. of rows should be added in my table
and when user change value in spinbox row should update (that is happening)

 connect(ui.spinBox, QOverload<int>::of(&QSpinBox::valueChanged), 
         this, &tool::setTableRows);
 connect(ui.spinBox_2, QOverload<int>::of(&QSpinBox::valueChanged),
         this, &tool::setTable2Rows);
 } 
void tool::setTableRows()
{
QAbstractItemModel* table1 = ui.tableView->model();
int rows = ui.spinBox->value();
model->setRowCount(rows);
 } 

 void tool::setTable2Rows()
{
QAbstractItemModel* table2 = ui.tableView_2->model();
int rows2 = ui.spinBox_2->value();
model2->setRowCount(rows2);
}

[JonB]

@n-2204 said in spinbox input add rows ??:

If I understand correctly.

At the time you call

ui.spinBox->setValue(10);

you have not yet done the

 connect(ui.spinBox, QOverload<int>::of(&QSpinBox::valueChanged), 
         this, &tool::setTableRows);

So if you are expecting the slot setTableRows() to be called to actually create rows during the setValue(), it won't be. Why should it?

Either connect the signals before setting the values, or call the slots explicitly first time before you start out.

Is that what you mean?
