[SOLVED] QLabel in main window is not updated/refreshed when modified in second window (QDialog)
-
Since you're running this in only one thread, the connection between signals and slots is direct. Here is a very simplified version of what happens when on_pushButton_SetText_clicked is called:
emit send_fromMain
ui->label_ShowText->setText(mainText);
qDebug () << "Received from mainwindow: " + mainText;
qDebug () << "Sent from main window";
Hope it helps

QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
ui->setupUi(this);
}MainWindow::~MainWindow()

delete ui;
}void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
Dialog* obj = new Dialog(this);
obj->show();
}
void MainWindow::updatemthd(QString Upd)
{qDebug()<<Upd;
ui->lineEdit->repaint();
ui->lineEdit->setText(Upd);
}Dialog::Dialog(QWidget *parent) :
QDialog(parent),
ui(new Ui::Dialog)
{
ui->setupUi(this);
}Dialog::~Dialog()
{
delete ui;
}void Dialog::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
QString Upd="updated";
MainWindow* n= new MainWindow();
n->updatemthd(Upd);
} -
@Npsad said in [SOLVED] QLabel in main window is not updated/refreshed when modified in second window (QDialog):
MainWindow* n= new MainWindow();
Why do you create a new MainWindow instance here?
This needs to be done in a different way: your dialog should NOT access MainWindow directly (it should not even know anything about MainWindow - software design). Instead it should emit a signal, this signal is connected in MainWindow to a slot and that slot then updates the UI.
