[solved] QPlainTextEdit to QMessageBox Problem

aquanaut

Goodday,

I am very new to Qt and some assistance. I have created a dialog.ui and add 2 PlainTextEdit. What I need assistance with is:

How do I concatenate the string from the first edit with the second edit and display the result in a QMessageBox.

I have been looking for the answer but to no avail.If someone could point in the right direction that would be great.

Thanks

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Since you don't state how you would like that to happen, I'll take a QPushButton as trigger. Write a slot for that button, and in it grab the text from the tow QPlainTextEdit.

Roughly

@
void MyCoolWidget::on_myButton_clicked()
{
QString string = ui->myPlainTextEdit1->toPlainText() + ui->myPlainTextEdit2->toPlainText();
QMessageBox::information(this, tr("My Cool Title"), string);
}
@

Hope it helps
