[Solved] How to make multi QPushButton to activate slot

depecheSoul

Hello.

I am trying to make a simple game that will have 9 QPushButtons. I am trying to make single conection that will have all 9 QpushButton and slot, and when I click the button, that button will change text, with help of slot.

Do you have some idea how can I do this???

You need to have nine different connect statements, but you can connect those to the same slot.

If you need to differentiate between what button was clicked, you should also look into [[doc:QSignalMapper]]. Also note that you can use a loop to do the connects, if you don't want to make 9 connect statements in your code.

Thank you very much for your help.

I have made connections with QSignalMapper, but I still have one problem.

I am trying to make a function that will on button click change text on the clicked button.

So far I have made a function that changes text on button click but only on the last button, so when I click on the any button it will only change text on the last button.

Can you please help me solve this problem.

You could keep using QSignalMapper for that, using the mapping to QWidget, but perhaps that gets a bit tedious. You could also use something like this:

@
MyClass::buttonClicked() {
QAbstractButton* button = qobject_cast<QAbstractButton*>(sender());
if (!button)
return; // not called from button

button->setText("Clicked");
}
@

And then simply connect all the buttons clicked signals to this one slot.
