QPushButton::clicked(bool) use

[ivanicy]

Hello!!

I know this is a silly question but, I can't use correctly the QPushButton::clicked(bool) slot. I have a QMenu associated to this button. This is my code:

void MainWindow::on_upDownButton_clicked(bool checked)
{
    if (checked) {
        menuUpDown->hide();
    } else {
        menuUpDown->show(); // <-- trick to force layout of the menu before height() is called
        menuUpDown->popup(mapToGlobal(ui->upDownButton->pos() - QPoint(0, menuUpDown->height())));
    }
}

But here, checked is always false, so, I can't hide the QMenu.

What's wrong here?

Thank you very much!

It's normal when you click on your QPushbutton to have always :

clicked = true on your button.

Refer to this doc

If the button is checkable, checked is true if the button is checked, or false if the button is unchecked.

If you want have checkable button you need to add this line:

yourButton->setCheckable(true);

http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qabstractbutton.html#clicked:

If the button is checkable, checked is true if the button is checked, or false if the button is unchecked.

Is your QPushButton even a checkable one?!

Slightly unrelated: you don't need to do it manually: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qpushbutton.html#setMenu
