QPushbutton pressed

[Zunneh]

Hi guys , i want to move the circle with 4 Qpushbutton while they are pressed ( not only click ) , i tried signal pressed but didn't work (it work like simple click ) , i have ready in some forum that i have to use event , i tried this function but it didn't work ( i understand the phenomen but i don't know how to write it
P.S: BTN_Up is the bouton up (QpushButton)
Thanks

hi @Zunneh

I fairly certain you'll need to use a QTimer here to regularly update your label position, while the button is pressed.

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent) {
    QTimer *timer = new QTimer(this);
    
    timer->setIntervall(1000) //1000ms

    connect(timer, &QTimer::timeout, this, &MainWindow:: updatePosition);

    connect(ui-> BTN_Up, &QPushButton::pressed, timer, QOverload<void>::of(&QTimer::start));
connect(ui-> BTN_Up, &QPushButton::released, timer, &QTimer::stop);


}


void MainWindow::updatePosition() {
    if(ui->BTN_Up->isDown()) {
       currentY ++;
   } else {.....}

   ui->label->move(currentX, currentY);
}

untested Code, so no guaranties for typos and stuff ;-)

@Zunneh

like this:

ui-> BTN_Up->setAutoRepeat(true);
connect(ui->BTN_Up, &QPushButton::pressed, []{
        qDebug() << "Pressed!";
});

also use:
autoRepeatDelay() and setAutoRepeatInterval()
