I need a way to get data from outside of Custom QTextEdit Context Menu to generate a file..

batista

I need to receive data from main by sending a command over a signal emitted from the context menu. Or I need a way to read data from fields outside the context of the menu.

Thanks in advanced...

Define and emit a signal in MyTextEdit,
and connect your MainWindow to receive that signal.

@mpergand I did and it worked fine for this part, to send to MainWindow.. It doesn't work when MainWindow comes back with the data.... The actions happen without problem. But the data arrives empty...

What do you mean by "comes back" ?

batista

@mpergand I mean... I send a signal command to main with some data... And then in main, I get the data in my main form and send it back by emit to my "mytextedit", in a string. The data arrives empty. Although not empty. Because if I use a pushbutton to print the data on the console, it is displayed through qDebug() <<;.

I'm only doing this because I haven't found any other alternative to access this data outside of the context menu..

@batista
I see the method:
MyTextEdit::receiveDataFromMain(Qstring)

What prevents you to send the string directly from MainWindow.
