UpdateLanguage in translation in qt - qt

I am trying to updatelanguage in my code as shown below:
LanguageTranslation.h
class LanguageTranslation : public QObject
{
Q_OBJECT
Q_PROPERTY(QString emptyString READ getEmptyString NOTIFY languageChanged)
QTranslator translator;
QQmlEngine *m_engine;
public:
explicit LanguageTranslation();
QString getEmptyString();
enum Language {
ENGLISH,
FRENCH
};
Q_ENUM(Language)
signals:
void languageChanged();
public slots:
void updatelanguage(int lang);
};
LanguageTranslation.cpp
#include "LanguageTranslation.h"
QString LanguageTranslation::getEmptyString()
{
return "";
}
void LanguageTranslation::updatelanguage(int language)
{
switch (language)
{
case ENGLISH :
if(!translator.isEmpty())
qApp->removeTranslator(&translator);
translator.load("Monitor_en_US", ":/translations");
qApp->installTranslator(&translator);
// m_engine->retranslate();
break;
case FRENCH:
translator.load("Monitor_fr_FR", ":/translations");
qApp->installTranslator(&translator);
// m_engine->retranslate();
break;
default:
break;
}
emit languageChanged();
}
Rectangle.qml
Rectangle
{
width: parent.width
height: parent.height * 0.20
color: "red"
Text {
width: parent.width
text: qsTrId("abcId")+ LanguageTranslation.emptyString
}
}
This text: qsTrId("abcId") is updating only when i am using
text: qsTrId("abcId") + LanguageTranslation.emptyString
Is there any other way to update the language other than appending emptyString??
I dont want to use emptyString to update the language. Also when i am using retranslate(), my application is crashing.

I got the solution for updateLanguage using retranslate() as shown below:
void LanguageTranslation::upDateLanguage(int language)
{
switch (language)
{
case ENGLISH :
m_translator.load("Language_en_US", ":/translations");
break;
case FRENCH:
m_translator.load("Language_fr_FR", ":/translations");
break;
default:
break;
}
qApp->installTranslator(&m_translator);
m_engine->retranslate();
emit languageChanged();
}

Set character format for a QML TextArea using QTextCursor

I'm trying to create a very simple rich text editor component in QML. The requirements are that the user must be able to quickly format individual words inside a textbox separately. So for example, the user could press "Ctrl+B" in the middle of typing and from that point onward the text becomes bold, when the user press "Ctrl+B" again the subsequently typed text has a normal font weight:
So looking around I found that there is an official example provided by the Qt company to do this. So I extrapolated this to a very basic app:
// DocumentHandler.cpp
#pragma once
#include <QObject>
#include <QQuickTextDocument>
#include <QTextCharFormat>
class DocumentHandler : public QObject {

If you try to run this app, type something like "hello" and the press the "Bold" button the app correctly makes the "hello" bold. However, there is a problem I'm struggling to get past:
if you click on the button when the textarea is empty, then typing doesn't give you bold text. In fact, it seems that it is not possible to change the font weight of the textarea prior to having some text in it. Also, if you type a word, then press space and then click the button: nothing happens.
Anyone got any clue on what's the root cause of this behaviour?

QSignalBlocker in Qml/QtQuick2?

I want to set the currentIndex of a ComboBox dynamically without triggering my attached signal.
I am currently using a bool property to set a flag that gets cleared when my signal gets called.
Item {
property bool ignoreNextChanged: false
CustomCppItem {
id: customItem
onSomethingHappened: {
ignoreNextChanged = true
comboBox.currentIndex = 42
}
}
ComboBox {
id: comboBox
currentIndex: -1
onCurrentIndexChanged: {
if(ignoreNextChanged) {
ignoreNextChanged = false
return
}
// Removed code here
}
}
}
Coming from Qt/C++, I would like to use some sort of QSignalBlocker here instead of my own property.
Is there some equivalent in Qml/QtQuick2?
For this I would implement an attached type in c++ :
signalblockerattachedtype.h :
#ifndef SIGNALBLOCKERATTACHEDTYPE_H
#define SIGNALBLOCKERATTACHEDTYPE_H
#include <QObject>
#include <qqml.h>
class SignalBlockerAttachedType : public QObject
{
Q_OBJECT
Q_PROPERTY(bool enabled READ enabled WRITE setEnabled NOTIFY enabledChanged)
public:
explicit SignalBlockerAttachedType(QObject *object = nullptr) : QObject(object), m_object(object)
{
}
~SignalBlockerAttachedType() {
if (m_object)
m_object->blockSignals(false);
}
bool enabled() const
{
return m_enabled;
}
void setEnabled(bool enabled)
{
if (m_enabled == enabled)
return;
if (m_object)
m_object->blockSignals(enabled);
m_enabled = enabled;
emit enabledChanged();
}
static SignalBlockerAttachedType *qmlAttachedProperties(QObject *object) {
return new SignalBlockerAttachedType(object);
}
signals:
void enabledChanged();
private:
bool m_enabled = false;
QObject *m_object;
};
QML_DECLARE_TYPEINFO(SignalBlockerAttachedType, QML_HAS_ATTACHED_PROPERTIES)
#endif // SIGNALBLOCKERATTACHEDTYPE_H
main.cpp :
#include "signalblockerattachedtype.h"
// ...
qmlRegisterUncreatableType<SignalBlockerAttachedType>("fr.grecko.SignalBlocker", 1, 0, "SignalBlocker", "SignalBlocker is only available as an attached type.");
// ...
engine.load(QUrl(QLatin1String("qrc:/usage.qml")));
usage.qml :
import fr.grecko.SignalBlocker 1.0
// ...
Item {
id: rootItem
property alias currentIndex: comboBox.currentIndex
onCurrentIndexChanged: {
// this won't get called from a change in onSomethingHappened
}
CustomCppItem {
id: customItem
onSomethingHappened: {
rootItem.SignalBlocker.enabled = true;
rootItem.currentIndex = 42
rootItem.SignalBlocker.enabled = false;
}
}
ComboBox {
id: comboBox
currentIndex: -1
}
}
Even though the SignalBlocker works on the ComboBox, you don't want to put it on the ComboBox. Doing so will prevent it to update its display when the index changes.
In your situation, I don't think this solution is better than using a simple flag.

QML SectionScroller and QList<QObject*>

I use QList<QObject*> as a model in my app. As there might be a lot of elements, I decided to use SectionScroller. When I try to scroll using the SectionScroller I'm getting a
Error: Unable to assign [undefined] to QString
What am I doing wrong?
My ListView is:
ListView
{
id: irrview
width: parent.width
model: irregulars.db // QList<QObject*>
anchors.top: caption.bottom
anchors.bottom: parent.bottom
clip: true
section.criteria: ViewSection.FirstCharacter
section.property: "form0"
section.delegate: Item {height: 10; width: parent.width; Text { text: section } } // for testing purposes
delegate: Rectangle
{
/**/
}
}
Thanks
EDIT: more code:
the irregulars header
class IrregularListWrapper : public QObject
{
Q_OBJECT
Q_PROPERTY(QList<QObject*> db READ getdb NOTIFY langChanged)
Q_ENUMS(Language)
public:
enum Language
{
English = 0,
German = 1
};
IrregularListWrapper() : db(0) { setLang(German); }
~IrregularListWrapper() { delete db; }
QList<QObject*> getdb() const { return *db; }
Q_INVOKABLE void changeLang(Language l) { delete db; setLang(l); }
signals:
void langChanged();
protected:
void setLang(Language);
QList<QObject*> * db;
};
and the body of a function
void IrregularListWrapper::setLang(Language l)
{
switch (l)
{
case English:
db = new english;
langName = "English";
break;
case German:
db = new german;
langName = "German";
break;
}
emit langChanged();
}
the classes german, english are like that
class german : public QList<QObject*>
{
public:
german();
};
german::german()
{
append(new IrregularVerb("anfangen", "fing an", "angefangen"));
/*more like that*/
}
and IrregularVerb:
class IrregularVerb : public QObject
{
Q_OBJECT
Q_PROPERTY(QString form0 READ getForm0 NOTIFY formChanged)
Q_PROPERTY(QString form1 READ getForm1 NOTIFY formChanged)
Q_PROPERTY(QString form2 READ getForm2 NOTIFY formChanged)
public:
QString forms[3];
QString getForm0() const { return getForm(0); }
QString getForm1() const { return getForm(1); }
QString getForm2() const { return getForm(2); }
IrregularVerb(QString a, QString b, QString c) { forms[0] = a; forms[1] = b; forms[2] = c; }
protected:
const QString& getForm(const int& ind) const { return forms[ind]; }
signals:
void formChanged();
};
Edit 2: this doesn't work
If I do
QVariantList getdb() const { return QVariant::fromValue(*db); }
IrregularListWrapper.h:24: error: could not convert 'QVariant::fromValue(const T&) [with T = QList<QObject*>; QVariant = QVariant]()' from 'QVariant' to 'QVariantList {aka QList<QVariant>}'
If I remove the star, the error is similar.
EDIT3:
I found out this http://ruedigergad.com/2011/08/22/qml-sectionscroller-vs-qabstractlistmodel/
And found out that irregulars.db.get is undefined
And changed german and english to
class german : public AbstractIrregularList
and
class AbstractIrregularList : public QObject, public QList<QObject*>
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
Q_INVOKABLE QObject* get(int index) {return at(index);}
};
But even now, irregulars.db.get(0) gives error (Result of expression 'irregulars.db.get' [undefined] is not a function.)
Why is happening like that, that the Q_INVOKABLE is not detected? The Q_OBJECT macro is there
/edit5: Even when using QVariant the errors are still there. It can be either treated as QList or as QObject*.
If I am not wrong, you should use QVariantList instead QList<SomeClass> to expose list of elements from C++ to QML.
It should solve problem.
Supported types in QML
Try making code to look like this (in irregulars header):
Q_PROPERTY(QVariantList db READ getdb NOTIFY langChanged)
//...
QVariantList getdb() const {/*convert db to QVariantList*/ return converted_db;}
Or if you want to code look like from links you gave:
Q_PROPERTY(QVariantList db READ getdb NOTIFY langChanged)
//...
QVariant getdb() const {return QVariant::fromValue(db);}

Reading a line from a .txt or .csv file in qml (Qt Quick)

I need to display a string on a simulation screen. For that I'm supposed to read the text from an existing Filename.txt/Filename.csv file. The text parameter is updated as shown in the below piece of code. I need to access the string from a text file and use it in MarqueeText element. The Accessed string shall be used in the text field of the MarqueeText element.
MarqueeText {
id:scrolltext
width: 255
height: 48
anchors.verticalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
text: //i need to access the string in text file to be displayed
}
Please help me with this. Thank you.

QT QML import ListModel from C++ to QML

How can i change the model of a PathView with c++ code ?
i add an objectName to my pathView to find it, then i change the property like this, but when i do that, my list is empty :
QDeclarativeItem *listSynergie = myClass.itemMain->findChild<QDeclarativeItem*> ("PathViewInscription");
listSynergie->setProperty("model", QVariant::fromValue(dataList));
My data list is fill like this :
QList<QObject*> dataList;
dataList.append(new synergieListObject("Item 1", "1",false));
dataList.append(new synergieListObject("Item 2", "2",true));
dataList.append(new synergieListObject("Item 3", "3",false));
dataList.append(new synergieListObject("Item 4", "4",false));
This is the code of my PathView :
PathView {
objectName: "PathViewInscription"
Keys.onRightPressed: if (!moving) { incrementCurrentIndex(); console.log(moving) }
Keys.onLeftPressed: if (!moving) decrementCurrentIndex()
id: view
anchors.fill: parent
highlight: Image { source: "../spinner_selecter.png"; width: view.width; height: itemHeight+4; opacity:0.3}
preferredHighlightBegin: 0.5
preferredHighlightEnd: 0.5
focus: true
model: appModel
delegate: appDelegate
dragMargin: view.width/2
pathItemCount: height/itemHeight
path: Path {
startX: view.width/2; startY: -itemHeight/2
PathLine { x: view.width/2; y: view.pathItemCount*itemHeight + itemHeight }
}
}
and the code of ListModel :
ListModel {
id: appModel
ListElement { label: "syn1"; value: "1"; selected:false}
ListElement { label: "syn2"; value: "2" ; selected:false}
ListElement { label: "syn3"; value: "3" ; selected:false}
}
what's wrong ?
Thanks !
EDIT :
the code of the appDelegate :
Component {
id: appDelegate
Item {
width: 100; height: 100
Text {
anchors { horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter }
text: label
smooth: true
}
MouseArea {
anchors.fill: parent
onClicked: view.currentIndex = index
}
}
}
the code of my object :
#ifndef SYNERGIELISTOBJECT_H
#define SYNERGIELISTOBJECT_H
#include <QObject>

signals:
void labelChanged();
void valueChanged();
void selectedChanged();
private:
QString m_label;
QString m_value;
bool m_selected;
};
#endif // SYNERGIELISTOBJECT_H
c++ my object :
#include "synergielistobject.h"
synergieListObject::synergieListObject(QObject *parent): QObject(parent)
{
}
synergieListObject::synergieListObject(const QString &label,const QString &value,bool selected, QObject *parent): QObject(parent), m_label(label), m_value(value), m_selected(selected)
{
}
QString synergieListObject::label() const
{
return m_label;
}
void synergieListObject::setLabel(const QString &label)
{
if (label != m_label) {
m_label = label;
emit labelChanged();
}
}
QString synergieListObject::value() const
{
return m_value;
}
void synergieListObject::setValue(const QString &value)
{
if (value != m_value) {
m_value = value;
emit valueChanged();
}
}
bool synergieListObject::selected() const
{
return m_selected;
}
void synergieListObject::setSelected(const bool &selected)
{
if (selected != m_selected) {
m_selected = selected;
emit selectedChanged();
}
}
I have never used QdeclarativeItem to set model in QML . Try this instead
QDeclarativeContext *ctxt = view.rootContext(); ctxt->setContextProperty("model", QVariant::fromValue(dataList));
Declare the model as a property of the root. This way you can set model.Or add a function that takes model as argument and sets the model for the view. Then you can call this function from c++.
