QUndoView doesn't show text

Joel Bodenmann

Hi folks,

I'm using QUndoCommand::setText() to set the text of my undo command. However, while my QUndoView displays the items it doesn't show the text - it's simply a blank text in the list. Clicking an item in the QUndoView properly performs the undo command but the text is never shown.
I tried many things: Using the setText() method in the undo() and redo() functions, using it in the constructor as well as passing the text directly to the base class constructor - nothing helped!

Is there any magic to this? I did refer to the undo framework example but I couldn't find anything special - I'm doing exactly the same things. The documentation doesn't seem to mention anything special either.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Do you have several QUndoStacks ?

Joel Bodenmann

No Sir, just one. And I use QUndoView::setStack() to set it.
As mentioned the stack itself works: I can click on items in the stack view and the undo/redo actions are applied accordingly. Just missing the texts.

Which version of Qt are you using ?

Does the example work for you?

Joel Bodenmann

Using Qt 5.8.0 with MinGW 5.4.0 32-Bit.
The example works well using exactly the same Qt version and compiler.

Interesting, a clean build later it works fine. That's unexpected.
Still silly of me not to try that first - my bad. Sorry guys! Thanks for your help though, much appreciated!
