how do something on a window before the user open that window?

how to disable some parts on a window before it appear ti the user?
-
-
this work just for the first time
i want every time the user opens this window it will doAll(false) -
You have established editUsers CTOR calls correctly doAll(false); , correct?
Do you know the signal you're interested in? - maybe this http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qwidget.html#visible-prop ?Not really sure what the issue is - seems like you've already done the hard work? Can you elaborate.
-
@6thC forget about disabling some parts
what i did in the photo runs just one time
which mean if i open this window it will execute doAll()
but if i closed the window and open it again it will not execute doAll()
i will have to exit the whole application to execute it again
what i want is that every time the user open this window it will execute doAll()
did you understand me ? -
I understand you - do you understand me. You've proven it works in the constructor right? So now you just need to call this method again but not at construction time, during another stage of it's life. You currently only have it wired/hooked into object creation time - where you are is the constructor and that only happens when an class is instantiated as an object.
So. close and open ... probably aren't doing Destruct and Construct. They may be
reusing your object and just changing objects states.You could:
- call the method again - hooked into the events that you care about
- use a new editUsers object
I don't think you will need to close your whole application at all, that's just crazy. There will be a focus event or something to use, did you go to the link in the last?
-
@6thC yes i understand you,
but the problem is there is no events related with the window opening
and doAll() must execute in the window opening before any thing else
i think that qt have it own methods on opening the windows or showing it -
did you go to http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qwidget.html#visible-prop ?
"See also show(), hide(), isHidden(), isVisibleTo(), isMinimized(), showEvent(), and hideEvent()."
There's a number of events that may be suitable. I cannot tell from just this definition - could you just use a fresh editUsers instance? I'm sure there's a way to hook this.
What about http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qdialog.html#showEvent
-
@6thC thank a lot,
it worked -
@davidlabib
You will have read http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qwidget.html#showEvent & http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qshowevent.html by now I presume. So just checking you are happy that yourdoAll(false);
will be executed when, say, the window is minimized and then restored? Not just when the user shows the window. So, for example, if yourdoAll(false)
resets widget visibility you will get that on minimize + restore too. -
@davidlabib
I have explained in the clearest language possible, I cannot think of another way to phrase it. -
@davidlabib
I wrote:So just checking you are happy that your doAll(false); will be executed when, say, the window is minimized and then restored?
How can I explain that more clearly? If the user minimizes your window and then restores it (makes it visible again)
showEvent()
will be called. And as you have written it that means it will call yourdoAll(false)
. Why don't you try it on minimizing and then restoring your window?I don't know what your
doAll(false)
does. Maybe it wants to do that, maybe it does not. -
@JonB now I understand you ,
I'm sorry for stupidity ,but english is not my tongue
I'm using dialog not Mainwondow that's why i didn't try to minimizing and then restoring the window -
@davidlabib
I realise about the English, not a problem, I just did not know how to phrase it any better.Just check: when the dialog is up, got to your desktop's toolbar (or whatever) and see if you can minimize/restore from there (e.g. Windows allows click on toolbar icon to toggle minimize/restore). If it lets you do that while dialog is showing, see whether your
showEvent()
in the dialog gets called? If not, you are probably good to go. -
@JonB you are right
when i minimize and restore it execute doAll(false)
is there is another event work when the window opens but not sensitive about minimizing and restoring? -
@davidlabib
Hi
Do it in constructor as you show - should call it only once and
then not again on show /minimize etc.
But normally you create a Dialog show it and delete it
so constructor is called every time and hence it should be exactly like u want.So please show the code where you pop up the editUser Dialog.

@davidlabib
We can look into the minimize/restore if we need to. However for now you should answer @mrjj's comment. Why are you re-showing the dialog? Are you keeping it in existence permanently and hiding/showing it (in which case, why?), or do you destroy and re-create it, in which case you could do your code in constructor instead?
