QMessageBox exec only returns 1024 or 4194304...

Paddle

I can't find any reference to such issue. I'm trying to add a QMessageBox and the exec function is returning me only 1024 if I click ok or 4194304 if I click cancel. I commented out lines that I initially used but don't change the situation if commented out.

   QMessageBox restartBox(this);
    restartBox.setIcon(QMessageBox::Warning);
    restartBox.setWindowTitle(tr("Restart required"));
    restartBox.setStandardButtons(QMessageBox::Ok | QMessageBox::Cancel);

    int exec = restartBox.exec();
    Base::Console().Warning("exec %d", exec);

    if (exec == QDialog::Accepted) {/*never triggered*/}

Any idea what can trigger such behavior?

Hi,

QMessageBox::exec returns a QMessageBox::StandardButton.

@Paddle Please read the documentation of QMessageBox::exec():

When using a QMessageBox with standard buttons, this function returns a StandardButton value indicating the standard button that was clicked.

So it returns QMessageBox::Ok = 0x00000400 = 1024, or QMessageBox::Cancel = 0x00400000 = 4194304.

Oh I was reading the exec() function in QDialog documentation page... I haven't seen it was reimplemented in QMessageBox. Sorry about that.
