Conditionally closing a dialog

LorenDB

I'm writing a program that includes a dialog that requires some user input, like so:

import QtQuick 2.12
import QtQuick.Controls 2.12
import QtQuick.Layouts 1.12

Dialog {
    id: foobar

    function show() {
        input.text = ""
        input.forceActiveFocus(Qt.PopupFocusReason)
        open()
    }

    title: "Foobar"
    modal: true
    width: 350
    standardButtons: Dialog.Ok | Dialog.Cancel

    onAccepted: console.log("foobar: ", input.text)

    contentItem: RowLayout {
        spacing: 10

        Label {
            text: "Number of pages:"
        }

        TextField {
            id: input

            validator: IntValidator {}
            placeholderText: "1234"
            Layout.fillWidth: true
        }
    }
}

Without having to implement a custom footer such as a DialogButtonBox, I'd like to override the accepted() signal to only continue being accepted if the user has put something in input.text. If input.text is null, I want to stop the dialog from closing.

Apologies if I'm not making myself clear; I will be happy to provide any details necessary. I'm using Qt 5.15.2 on Linux.

I also needed this but there was no answer for it anywhere.
Here is my solution:

    Dialog {
        id: loginDialog
        title: "Login"
        modal: true

        LoginDialog {
            id: loginPage
            anchors.fill: parent
        }

        footer: DialogButtonBox {
            id: buttons
            Button {
                id: okButton
                text: qsTr("Ok")
                DialogButtonBox.buttonRole: DialogButtonBox.InvalidRole

                Connections {
                    target: okButton
                    function onClicked() {
                        if (CONDITION){
                            loginDialog.accept()
                        } else {
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
            Button {
                id: cancelButton
                text: qsTr("Cancel")
                DialogButtonBox.buttonRole: DialogButtonBox.RejectRole
            }
        }
    }

So my answer is replace standard buttons and handle button clicks yourself.
