Using QSettings with QColor
-
Hello everyone,
I am currently trying to get a saveSettings() and loadSettings() function to work in order to save the settings even when the program is closed. However, I am facing a problem with my loadSettings() function...
void Settings::saveSettings() { QSettings setting("textFinder","tFSettings"); setting.beginGroup("textFinder"); setting.setValue("colour", this->colour); //QColor setting.setValue("language", this->language); //QString setting.endGroup(); }
This is the saveSettings() function, and it seems to work without any problems. This is my loadSettings function:
void textFinder::loadSettings() { QSettings setting("textFinder","tFSettings"); setting.beginGroup("textFinder"); defaultColour = setting.value("colour", Qt::yellow); defaultLanguage = setting.value("language", "English").toString(); setting.endGroup(); }
However, on attempting to compile the program I get the following error:
C:\Users\Laurenz\Documents\QT\textFinder\textfinder.cpp:131: error: use of deleted function 'QVariant::QVariant(Qt::GlobalColor)
I get what this error means. I suppose that I have to use something similar to
.toString()
, but I browsed the list of suggestions and nothing popped up that I could use here... Any suggestions?EDIT: Actually, I think I've fixed it. I've basically just created a QString instead and then used the
QColor::setNamedColor()
to get the colour. Thanks anyways to everyone who read this! -
