QT crashed when I try to do onglets->setCurrentIndex(0);

[f.lerdino]

Hi, I'm new in this forum so I don't know is the correct forum section for this kind of question.
I try to do a onglets->setCurrentIndex(0); in order to change when I clicked a Push buttun the index of a QTabWidget created in the MainWindow but with an another function:
void MainWindow::playaction()
{ onglets->setCurrentIndex(0);
}

I also have tried to out every think public but nothing change.

Do you have any idea?
thanks

Hi and welcome
Since its not part of UI
Are you sure you didnt create a local variable by accident ?
Like
QTabWidget *onglets; // in .h
BUT where you create it
QTabWidget *onglets = new QTabWidget ()
and not
onglets = new QTabWidget ();

?

[f.lerdino]

I have just put this in the public: in the file .h
QWidget *fenetre;
QWidget *page1;
QWidget *page2;
QWidget *page3;
QTabWidget *onglets;

is this the problem?

[mrjj]

@f.lerdino

Nope, but they must be new'ed BEFORE you use them.

like
page1 = new QWidget(this);

@f.lerdino
Show us the code you have on onglets before you ever get to MainWindow::playaction() ?

[f.lerdino]

MainWindow::MainWindow()
{
createActions();
createMenus();
createToolbars();
createVertbars();

QVBoxLayout *layout = new QVBoxLayout;
QWidget *widget = new QWidget;
widget->setLayout(layout);
widget->setStyleSheet("padding: 10px;" "border-style: solid;" "border-width: 5px;" "border-radius: 4px;");
setCentralWidget(widget);

        QChartView *chartView = new QChartView(donutBreakdown);
        chartView->setRenderHint(QPainter::Antialiasing);

    // 4 : ajouter les onglets au QTabWidget, en indiquant la page qu'ils contiennent

}

[mrjj]

So you do
QTabWidget *onglets = new QTabWidget(&fenetre);
(this is local variable)

Do you also have one in . h file ?
one named onglets

You are newing a new copy. not the one from .h file
so later u use a invalid pointer as its not newed. ( i guess)

can you please also show .h file ?

@f.lerdino
I have no idea whether this matters/causes your problem, but you seem to have:

setCentralWidget(widget);
...
setCentralWidget(onglets);

Is that right?

[f.lerdino]

en fact i dont need the first one ... but nothing changed

[f.lerdino]

Question, Is it possible to pass the *onglets as argument in the function?

[mrjj]

Hi
you are doing that i ask in first post.

You have
QTabWidget *onglets; in h file but new another so that is why you crash.

/****************************/
QWidget fenetre; // this ones DIES as soon as functions ends. not good.

// 1 : Créer le QTabWidget
QTabWidget *onglets = new QTabWidget(&fenetre); THis one create a local variable,

It is not the one from .H ( and it cant be used outside the function)

So that is why you crash.

[JonB]

@f.lerdino
Yep, exactly as @mrjj has just written above!

[jsulm]

@f.lerdino One more issue is you create a local QWidget on the stack in the constructor:

QWidget fenetre;
QTabWidget *onglets = new QTabWidget(&fenetre);
``
That means it will be destroyed when the constructor finishes.

[JonB]

@mrjj

Purely OOI: I don't use Qt Creator/C++, but in this case where there is a class member variable named foo and then a function local variable also named foo is declared, does the Qt Creator "squiggle underline" the local variable warning that it "overrides the class variable", for the OP to notice? My PyCharm/Python IDE does do that....

[mrjj]

@JonB
Not per default. Maybe with c-lang code model.
I wish it did. :)

[JonB]

@mrjj
Upgrade to Python ;-) LMAO/ROFL

[mrjj]

@JonB
:)))
I would - if you give me visible scopes and remove that dreadful Self.
and what is up with ___Var to say its private :)
Joking aside, its really a nice editor. I assume the Pro version is even more
cool than the Community version.
