[SOLVED] Notification when a QDialog gets closed
-
Hello,
I have a class that has it's own UI, as well as several different further QDialogs. Like this:
@
namespace Ui {
class MyClass;
}void MyClass : public QDialog {
Q_OBJECTpublic:
/* yatta */private:
QDialog *_buyingDialog;
QDialog *_confirmDialog;/* yatta */}
@
Let's assume the following scenario: I want to interact with the object in several different ways. One of them results opening a dialog (for example, the buying dialog), which then in case leads to opening the confirm dialog. That means, at the time of the execution I have 2 dialogs open (at least): the interactive buying dialog, as well as the "do you really want to do that? y/n" dialog.
What I want to do is: if the user closes (or hides!) the buying dialog (because he wants to, for whatever reason users do stuff they do :D), I want to get a notification to be able to also close the confirmDialog, if need be.
I cannot override closeEvent in that case, because the dialog closed (/hidden) is not MyClass.
In short: _buyingDialog gets closed or hidden by the user, I want to be notified to be able to hide _confirmDialog. Any signals or such I didn't see? Thanks for any help in advance! -
Hi,
Maybe overwrite the
@ QWidget::hideEvent(QHideEvent * event) [virtual protected]@
function in your buyingDialog and emit a signal there. Connect that signal to the minimize/close slot of the other dialog.

Hello Jeroen, thanks for the answer.
_buyingDialog is a regular QDialog, not a derived class of QDialog. You're basically telling me I have to make a separate class to accomplish what I want? Or, respectively, alter QDialog alltogether?
Or is there a way to override a method of a class from outside of the class for this one single instance of using an object from the class in c++ that I'm not aware of? I hope not, because this would break all concepts of encapsulation that my mind ever had. :D

Hi,
No you can't override a function from outside a class in c++. But what you can do in your case is to use an event filter. Have look at "this":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qobject.html#installEventFilter
Hope it helps
