[Solved] Qt creator Project using qt designer

Swinetha

Sir Am tried one example by creating another project.

In the .ui file Am added one lineedit & pushbutton

Using Signals & slots I am connected these two through ui only

In editing these signals I am selected editText(Qstring) signal for lineEdit & click() slot for pushbutton and I written the code for both functions .cpp file but writting something in lineEdit its not giving the display using QMessageBox(in slot function this code is written)

Rahul Das

You can change in ui_*.h file, but not usually needed at all!

Click() is not a slot, its a signal.

Its a simple logic. One of your Widget emits signal, and a receiver catches that and does some [According to the Connection].

Now when you connect the signal to the slot, using the designer, same things are happening, and the QObject::connect(.... statement can be found in ui_...h,for your clarification, which is generated by UIC.

Now, in the case you told about a push button and Lineedit, check the following things.

1.You have connected Pushbutton signal "Clicked" to your Slot, say slot1().

2.Make sure you declared the slot1() and defined correctly.

3.In slot1(), you update the text of lineedit etc.

You can use the debugger as well to trace and track.
Go through this "previous thread":http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/816 and "This Sample":http://doc.qt.digia.com/qtcreator/creator-writing-program.html. I guess all your answers are there.

Thanks alot,

Mostly all of my doubts are cleared now, but
one thing left.

which ever I used in mainwindow program, same thing will be used in form1(.ui file & .cpp file & .h file)
I am linking the form1 to form2 till it is not cleared I am strucked here it self

When i run this project mainwindow will displaying the window1 but when I am clicking pushbutton in window1 it will not display the entered value....even also

is there any wrong in my code? please help me now I have less time to complete this project
completion of this one only I move on to further coding

Sorry for this much of code please excuse me

Rahul Das

You are using [[doc:QMainWindow]], instead of Simple [[doc:QDialog]]

If you provide me the ui files source, it would be easier for me to go through than the generated code.

You may click the read 1 as many times you want, that many sub windows will be there. But write2 is correct. You may correct this, by replacing the new MainWindow with any other widget.

Sorry, even i have time constrains for a line by line check and execution.

Swinetha

this is main window
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_84hMr4KHFdX2lmcXJBSWpQdnc/edit

window1

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_84hMr4KHFdWHZFWFB0WnBOS2c/edit

and I am tried using dilaog widget also.
dialog1
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_84hMr4KHFdWHZFWFB0WnBOS2c/edit

using dialog also am getting same.

If I use the same signal & slot as dialog, the window will closed. but I want to execute something.

Swinetha

hai

my problem was solved.

to go another window like in my code from mainwindow to next window1
I am used
@
QMainWindow *w1 =new QMainWindow();
Ui::window1 Read1;
Read1.setupUi(w1);
w1->show();
@

instead of this I am tried

@
window1 *w=new window1();
w->show();
@

I got solution.

1st code is useful for only main window to next form its not for form1 to form2
2nd code useful for always

thanks a lot for your reply to my questions

Rahul Das

Nice.
