QDialog and Softkeys: Problem getting Signals from QActions.

[lenalebt]

Heyhey,
i've got some problems trying to add standard actions to a QDialog. I think my code should be right, but it does not work - indicating my code is not right. Does anybody know what i'm doing wrong?

I am starting the Dialog by executing exec(). All I want is to exit the dialog by pressing "OK" or "Cancel". I added a QPushButton for exiting - it works. But it's not what I want. I see the buttons, but they do not emit signals - or I am not able to catch them.

//PositionChooser.hpp
class PositionChooser : public QDialog
{
	Q_OBJECT
private:
	QWidget* parent;
	QAction* ok;
	QAction* cancel;
	QPushButton p;
public:
	Position getPosition() {return Position();/*posWidget.getPosition();*/}
	PositionChooser(QWidget* parent);
	void go();
	~PositionChooser();
public slots:
	void stopit();	//test slot
};

//PositionChooser.cpp
PositionChooser::PositionChooser(QWidget* parent_) :
		parent(parent_), p(this)
{
	//TODO
	this->setModal(true);

//does not work
	ok = new QAction("OK", this);
	ok->setSoftKeyRole(QAction::PositiveSoftKey);
	this->addAction(ok);
	connect(ok, SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SIGNAL(accept()));
//does not work
	cancel = new QAction("Cancel", this);
	cancel->setSoftKeyRole(QAction::NegativeSoftKey);
	this->addAction(cancel);
	connect(cancel, SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SIGNAL(reject()));
	
//this works
	p.setText("End");
	connect(&p, SIGNAL(pressed()), this, SLOT(accept()));
}

void PositionChooser::stopit()
{
//works
	this->hide();
	accept();
	//l.setText((std::string("needs to be implemented.\nCode Line ") + Toolbox::toString<int>(__LINE__, 0)).c_str());
}

PositionChooser::~PositionChooser()
{
	delete ok;
	delete cancel;
}

Any ideas?
Trying to run stopit() instead of accept() or reject() didn't work, either. Qt Version 4.6.2.

Thanks in advance,
Lena

hi,

connect(cancel, SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SIGNAL(reject()));

In the above line the signal generated by pushbutton is not cached by any slot and it will not work.

connect(&p, SIGNAL(pressed()), this, SLOT(accept()));

This line generate signal by pushbutton but Due to this and &p it is not cached by the slot.

See the below article of signal and slot and fix the problem.

hi,

It is: This slot is inherited by QDialog. As I said, it works with QPushButton, but not with QAction...

Two signal word inside the connect will not work for you in the QAction..
