[SOLVED] changing image using keypress

[IamSumit]

@void Dialog::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *e)
{

static int key_press;

if(e->key() == Qt::Key_F2)
{
    key_press++;
}

if(key_press == 1)
    {
            QMovie *movie = new QMovie("/home/dev6/Desktop/animation/spectrum.gif");
            QLabel *processLabel = new QLabel(this);
            ui->processLabel->setMovie(movie);
            movie->start();

            ui->label1->setText(QString::fromUtf8("chennai  சென்னை"));
            ui->label1->show();
    }

 if(key_press == 2)
    {
            QMovie *movie = new QMovie("/home/dev6/Desktop/animation/1.gif");
            QLabel *processLabel = new QLabel(this);
            ui->processLabel->setMovie(movie);
            movie->start();

            ui->label1->setText(QString::fromUtf8("சென்னை Namakkal"));
            ui->label1->show();
    }
 if(key_press == 3)
    {
            QMovie *movie = new QMovie("/home/dev6/Desktop/animation/2.gif");
            QLabel *processLabel = new QLabel(this);
            ui->processLabel->setMovie(movie);
            movie->start();

            ui->label1->setText(QString::fromUtf8("coimbatore சென்னை"));
            ui->label1->show();
    }

hi..
this is not a right way.Because many of same instructions are repeating.

you can optimize your code .You must create a method with parameter QString path
e'g;
@
void ShowPicture(QString path)
{
QMovie *movie = new QMovie(path);
QLabel *processLabel = new QLabel(this);
ui->processLabel->setMovie(movie);
movie->start();

            ui->label1->setText(QString::fromUtf8("chennai  சென்னை"));
            ui->label1->show();

}
@
hope it helps

[quote author="Francknos" date="1412070831"]construct a QVector<QMovie> _movies;
and add it to constructor then when you press F2:

cpt++
ui->processLabel->setMovie(_movies[cpt]);
_movies[cpt]->start();
[/quote]

okay i will try in this way...

hi..
After looking your code ...i think you are new to programming.are you?
you are defining the method inside another method .this is not the correct
way
just call ShowPicture("/home/dev6/Desktop/animation/2.gif");
then you will not face any error.
hope it helps

good day. yes i am new to Qt programming. Okay i will do like this. Thanks Sumit. Give me a guide to learn Qt programming and library usage.

i did like below. but getting errors.

@void ShowPicture(QString path)
{
QMovie *movie = new QMovie(path);
QLabel *processLabel = new QLabel(this);
ui->processLabel->setMovie(movie);
movie->start();

            ui->label1->setText(QString::fromUtf8("chennai  சென்னை"));
            ui->label1->show();

}

void Dialog::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *e)
{

if(e->key() == Qt::Key_F3)
{
        ShowPicture(”/home/dev6/Desktop/animation/2.gif”);
}

Hi .
Can you show me your full code (including .h)?
and tell me what errors you are getting also?

[IamSumit]

ok.
ShowPicture(QString) is the member function/method of Dialog class.
i can't see proper definition of this method.
in line 21.
@
Replace void Dialog::ShowPicture(QString path)
@

and in .h file declare this method as member.
in .h file. add this line
@
public:
void ShowPicture(QString path);
@

and your oops basics are not clear.So, Please improve your basics first.

Hope it helps.

Hi.
You are not passing a string .string always encloses " " quotes.
@
19.ShowPicture(/home/dev6/Desktop/animation/2.gif);
@
Correct it as .
ShowPicture("/home/dev6/Desktop/animation/2.gif");
