Toolbar's Action Disable Problem [SOLVED]

kingsta

Hello guys.

I want to disable a toolbar button sometimes. I mean toolbar button is unclickable and visible. I look for the internet but I cant find the solution.

This code crush my program.
@filterAction->setEnabled(false);@

createActions()
@filterAction = new QAction(tr("&Filter Data"), this);
filterAction->setIcon(QIcon("filter.ico"));
connect(filterAction, SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SLOT(filterData()));
...
@

createToolbars()
@QToolBar *toolbar;
toolbar = addToolBar(tr("Processes"));
toolbar->addAction(filterAction);
...
@

I suggest to use this instead:

@connect(filterAction, SIGNAL(triggered(bool)), this, SLOT(filterData()));@

and this conection for the slot:

@if (checked)
filterAction->setEnabled(true);
else
filterAction->setEnabled(false);@

don't forget to add:

@filterAction->setCheckable(true);@

@mbnoimi:
He wanted to know how to "disable ":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qaction.html#enabled-propan action not to make it checkable. So i think this is not what the intended.

What do you mean with "crush"? You program crashes when you do this? If so make sure that the pointer has been already initialized.

Okey. I changed the code. I dont know the different between triggered() and triggered(bool). Can you tell to me?

You totally right. I realize I have a pointer problem. I fix it. It works.

I have a question. How can i connect the toolbar view changing?
I write that code but I got the message;
@ QObject::connect: Cannot connect (null)::visibilityChanged(bool) to MainWindow::controlToolBarView()@

code
@ connect(toolbar, SIGNAL(visibilityChanged(bool)), this, SLOT(controlToolBarView()));

triggered(bool) is for when your tool button is checkable. The parameter tells you where you checked it (true) or unchecked it.

The error message says that your connecting a NULL pointer. Are you sure you toolbar variable points to a valid QToolbar when calling connect ?
