How i can add QRadioButtons in a QFrame on runtime?
Thanks.
Add the widget to the appropriate place by calling the addWidget() method, such as:
ui->someLayout->addWidget(widgetToAdd);
Just make sure you do this in your main (UI) thread.
you can add a QRadioButtons on runtime normally in the same way you do before runtime.
you create the QRadioButton dynamically and call the addWidget method of QFrame layout.
if you are not ableto do it, post the code and let me show you.
mainwindow.h
#include <QtGui/QMainWindow>
#include <QPushButton>
#include <QHBoxLayout>
#include <QRadioButton>
class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
{
Q_OBJECT
QHBoxLayout * layout;
QPushButton * button;
public:
MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0);
public slots:
void radioAdd();
};
mainwindow.cpp
#include "mainwindow.h"
MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent)
: QMainWindow(parent)
{
layout = new QHBoxLayout(this);
QWidget * w = new QWidget(this);
w->setLayout(layout);
this->setCentralWidget(w);
button = new QPushButton(QString("push"),this);
layout->addWidget(button);
connect(button,SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(radioAdd()));
}
void MainWindow::radioAdd() {
QRadioButton * radio = new QRadioButton("Search from the &cursor", this);
layout->addWidget(radio);
}
main.cpp
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
MainWindow w;
w.show();
return a.exec();
}
in this code the radioButton get created in the runtime (in the slot function radioAdd). and in your case, instead of adding QRadioButton into the wigdet layout you add them into QFrame.

From Qvector is set the number of buttons and their names (text). After cliking on the button I need to reseave text on it and display in lineEdit.
The header file:

line = new QLineEdit(this);
layout = new QVBoxLayout(this);
layout->addWidget(line);

v.append("a");
v.append("b");
v.append("c");
v.append("5");
v.append("45");
Buttons(v);
for(int i=0;i<button.size();i++)
layout->addWidget(button[i]);
setLayout(layout);
}

void Dialog::Buttons(QVector<QString>&vec)

if(!button.isEmpty())
button.clear();
for(int i=0; i<vec.size();i++)
{
button.append(new QPushButton(this));
button[i]->setText(vec[i]);
button[i]->show();
}
}
For it I'm not using user interface (ui), and couldn't make slots for all the buttons. How can it be done?
You can use QButtonGroup to id the buttons and consolidate the signals from all the buttons to a single slot
Example
QButtonGroup myButtongroup;
connect(&myButtonGroup,SIGNAL(buttonClicked(QAbstractButton*),this, SLOT(myButtonClicked (QAbstractButton*)));
for(int i=0; i<vec.size();i++)
{
QString buttonName = vec[i];
myButtonGroup.addButton(new QPushButton(buttonName,this),i);
//Get the button using myButtonGroup.button(i) to add to your layout
// You can add the buttons to the layout right here to elimate one more loop
layout.addWidget(myButtonGroup.button(i));
}
//Slot for button clicked
void Dialog::myButtonClicked(QAbstractButton *myButton)
{
line->setText(myButton->text());// Adding the button name to line edit
}
For more QButtonGroup signals refer the documentation
You can use signal/slot in your case. The signal/slot is related to QObject. It does not matter whether you use QT Designer or not. In your code,
for(int i=0; i<vec.size();i++)
{
button.append(new QPushButton(this));
connect(button[i], SIGNAL( clicked() ), this, SLOT(OnButtonClicked()));
button[i]->setText(vec[i]);
button[i]->show();
}
Maintain a QList of QPushButton references that you add and use "signals and slots" to register the clicked() signal of each button to a single slot. Inside the function, iterate the QList of QPushButton by comparing with QObject::sender() and identify the source.

I have a WidgetA widget, which is an owner-drawn widget. It's currently placed in QMainWindow's QVBoxLayout. After clicking a button, I'd like to "detach" WidgetA from this QVBoxLayout, insert QSplitter into this QVBoxLayout and "readd" WidgetA to this QSplitter. All this without destroying WidgetA, so it will preserve its drawing context, etc.
So, currently I have this (only one widget in a window):
I'd like to put a QSplitter between WidgetA and QMainWindow, and create a new widget, WidgetB, so I'd end up with:
Later I'd like it to split even further, so both WidgetA and WidgetB would still allow themselves to be detached and placed in a new QSplitter, so it would be possible to create f.e. this hierarchy:
And, to be complete, one more step:
I'm not very experienced in Qt, so what I'm trying to do may seem pretty obvious, but I couldn't find how to "reparent" widgets. Is this possible in Qt?
Please, see reparent example, may be it helps you:

When you operate with widget which is part of layout, then you need to use appropriate methods of QLayout (parent of QVBoxLayout) to detach the item from layout:
QLayout::removeWidget (removeItem if it is not widget, but spacer item or another layout)
QLayout::addWidget (addItem --/--)
Btw: even when widget moves between layouts, its parent may even stay same. I guess you have no need to call QWidget::setParent() as the calls of addWidget/removeWidget will do all work for you.
I am a newbie in Qt-programming. I have read a book about GUI-programming with Qt. I have an trouble in creating a dialog. Here is sample code:
// gotocell.h
#ifndef GOTOCELL_H
#define GOTOCELL_H
#include <QDialog>
#include <QtWidgets>
#include "ui_gotocell.h"
class GoToCellDialog : public QDialog, public Ui::GoToCellDialog
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
GoToCellDialog (QWidget *parent = 0);
private slots:
void on_lineEdit_textChanged();
};
#endif // GOTOCELL_H
// gotocell.cpp
#include <QtWidgets>
#include "gotocell.h"
#include <QtWidgets>
GoToCellDialog::GoToCellDialog (QWidget *parent):
QDialog (parent)
{
setupUi(this);
QRegExp regExp ("[A-Za-z][1-9][0-9]{0,2}");
lineEdit->setValidator(new QRegExpValidator(regExp, this));
connect (okButton, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(accept()));
connect (cancelButton, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(reject()));
}
void GoToCellDialog::on_lineEdit_textChanged()
{
okButton->setEnabled(lineEdit->hasAcceptableInput());
}
// main.cpp
#include "gotocell.h"
#include <QApplication>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
GoToCellDialog *dialog = new GoToCellDialog;
dialog->show();
return a.exec();
}
but when I compiled, there is an error: no known conversion for argument 1 from 'GoToCellDialog* const' to 'QMainWindow*'at setupUi() function. I think because the designer in Qt Creator created a QMainWindow, not a QDialog. So I changed GoToCellDialog class to QMainWindow. But there is no slots whose name is "accepted", "rejected" in QMainWindow. Can anyone help me?
If you want to display a Dialog as main window you have two choices:
1. make the whole main window QDialog based
2. design the Dialog separately and set it as the main windows central Widget (QMainWindow->setCentralWidget()).
In both cases you still have the problem what semantics you give to the OK and Cancel buttons. Generally it may be a better idea to consider what the main window of the application should contain, and design the dialogs later.
I have built an app in Qt that contains two buttons: an exit button and an import button. When the import button is pushed, a list of buttons is shown in a scrollarea on the screen (the file loggers.csv contains the data 1;2;3;4;5;).
It all works fine, but when I push the exit button (which of course should close everything), the app is not stopped properly (the stop button of Qt is still active, and the play button isn't). When I run the debugger and push the exit button it gives an error: Invalid address specified to RtlFreeHeap( 0ADF0000, 0028FE40 ). Can anybody help me?

I'm not entirely certain about what you are trying to achieve... but your problem lies with these two lines:
viewport.setLayout(&scrollLayout);
viewport.resize(0,0);
In the documentation for the QWidget class it states that:
If there already is a layout manager installed on this widget, QWidget
won't let you install another. You must first delete the existing layout manager (returned by layout()) before you can call setLayout() with the new layout.
This is where your problem lies. Don't believe me, add this check before those two lines of code.
if(layout()){
qDebug() << "Another layout exists";
}
Source: QVBoxLayout Class Reference
The QVBoxLayout class lines up widgets vertically.
This class is used to construct vertical box layout objects. See QBoxLayout for details.
The simplest use of the class is like this:
QWidget *window = new QWidget;
QPushButton *button1 = new QPushButton("One");
QPushButton *button2 = new QPushButton("Two");
QPushButton *button3 = new QPushButton("Three");
QPushButton *button4 = new QPushButton("Four");
QPushButton *button5 = new QPushButton("Five");
QVBoxLayout *layout = new QVBoxLayout;
layout->addWidget(button1);
layout->addWidget(button2);
layout->addWidget(button3);
layout->addWidget(button4);
layout->addWidget(button5);
window->setLayout(layout);
window->show();
First, we create the widgets we want in the layout. Then, we create the QVBoxLayout object and add the widgets into the layout. Finally, we call QWidget::setLayout() to install the QVBoxLayout object onto the widget. At that point, the widgets in the layout are reparented to have window as their parent.
Critical source of error in your project:
Widgets should be constructed on the heap because they will be deleted automatically when their parents are deleted. You have a custom widget class that you instantiate on the heap. The members should also go on the heap. Also, you should consider using the parent /child hierarchy in your GUI code to ensure proper memory management and proper deletion.
In my experience, if your program stops in RtlFreeHeap it is a good sign of memory corruption.
When calling
import_btn.setParent(ui->centralWidget);
centralWidget takes ownership of import_btn. That means, when centralWidget is deleted (which happens as part of delete ui;in your MainWindow's destructor), it will call delete on your member variable!
This leads to the reported memory corruption.
You need to allocate your QPushButton's dynamically, not as a plain member variable. So make them QPushButton*.
Here's how I did it from mainwindow.cpp, thanks to and this question: How to create a correct exit button in qt
QPushButton * quit_btn = new QPushButton(this);
quit_btn->setGeometry(540,440,93,27);
quit_btn->setText("Exit");
QObject::connect(quit_btn,SIGNAL(clicked()),qApp,SLOT(quit()));
Works flawlessly :D
I have a Qt dialog and there is a slider in it, when the dialog is initialized the slider will be set a value. In order to remind the user what is the default value, I want to add a mark to the slider, just draw a line or a triangle above the handle. Here, the slider should be of QSlider type, that means I can't implement a customized control derived from QSlider. Is there any way to realize it ?
I'm not clear why you can't derive a control from QSlider. You can still treat it like a QSlider, just override the paintEvent method. The example below is pretty cheesy, visually speaking, but you could use the methods from QStyle to make it look more natural:
#include <QtGui>
class DefaultValueSlider : public QSlider {
Q_OBJECT
public:
DefaultValueSlider(Qt::Orientation orientation, QWidget *parent = NULL)
: QSlider(orientation, parent),
default_value_(-1) {
connect(this, SIGNAL(valueChanged(int)), SLOT(VerifyDefaultValue(int)));
}
protected:
void paintEvent(QPaintEvent *ev) {
int position = QStyle::sliderPositionFromValue(minimum(),
maximum(),
default_value_,
width());
QPainter painter(this);
painter.drawLine(position, 0, position, height());
QSlider::paintEvent(ev);
}
private slots:
void VerifyDefaultValue(int value){
if (default_value_ == -1) {
default_value_ = value;
update();
}
}
private:
int default_value_;
};
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
QApplication app(argc, argv);
DefaultValueSlider *slider = new DefaultValueSlider(Qt::Horizontal);
slider->setValue(30);
QWidget *w = new QWidget;
QVBoxLayout *layout = new QVBoxLayout;
layout->addWidget(slider);
layout->addStretch(1);
w->setLayout(layout);
QMainWindow window;
window.setCentralWidget(w);
window.show();
return app.exec();
}
#include "main.moc"
Easiest way I can think off is:
Add QSlider to QSlider (like you do it with layouts and QFrames). Slider above will be your current slider (clickable one). Slider below will be your "default tick position" value.
#include <QApplication>
#include <QSlider>
#include <QVBoxLayout>
int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);
QSlider * defaultValueSlider = new QSlider();
QSlider * valueSlider = new QSlider(defaultValueSlider);
QVBoxLayout * lay = new QVBoxLayout(defaultValueSlider);
lay->setContentsMargins(0, 0, 0, 0);
lay->setSpacing(0);
lay->addWidget(valueSlider);
defaultValueSlider->setRange(0, 100);
valueSlider->setRange(0, 100);
defaultValueSlider->setValue(30);
defaultValueSlider->show();
return app.exec();
}
Why do you need to inherit a QSlider to access its public methods?
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.7/qslider.html
You can just call its setTickPosition() in your app.
