UI Loading Text

[iasdev]

Hello I am trying to load my .ini settings back into my UI.

I have the basic form down, from what I read in the QSettings doc and from what I could gather across the web, but I am still failing to understand how to load user saved text back into the UI.

void DLP3Dprinter::saveprogram()
{
 
    QSettings settings("Moose Soft", "Clipper");
 
        settings.beginGroup("MainWindow");
        settings.setValue("size", size());
        settings.setValue("pos", pos());
        settings.setValue("Resolution",ui->StepResolutionText->toPlainText());
        settings.endGroup();
 
}
void DLP3Dprinter::readsettings()
{
    QSettings settings("Moose Soft", "Clipper");
 
     settings.beginGroup("MainWindow");
     resize(settings.value("size", QSize(400, 400)).toSize());
     move(settings.value("pos", QPoint(200, 200)).toPoint());
     //settings.setUserData("Resolution",ui->StepResolutionText->toPlainText());
     //ui->StepResolutionText->setPlainText(QApplication::translate("DLP3Dprinter"," ?????",0));
 
    // ui->StepResolutionText->setPlainText(settings.value("Resolution"));
 
     settings.endGroup();

void DLP3Dprinter::saveprogram()
{

    QSettings settings("Moose Soft", "Clipper");

        settings.beginGroup("MainWindow");
        settings.setValue("size", size());
        settings.setValue("pos", pos());
        settings.setValue("Resolution",ui->StepResolutionText->toPlainText());
        settings.endGroup();

}
void DLP3Dprinter::readsettings()
{
    QSettings settings("Moose Soft", "Clipper");

     settings.beginGroup("MainWindow");
     resize(settings.value("size", QSize(400, 400)).toSize());
     move(settings.value("pos", QPoint(200, 200)).toPoint());
     //settings.setUserData("Resolution",ui->StepResolutionText->toPlainText());
     //ui->StepResolutionText->setPlainText(QApplication::translate("DLP3Dprinter"," ?????",0));
     
    // ui->StepResolutionText->setPlainText(settings.value("Resolution"));
     
     settings.endGroup();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I am trying various methods to attain my desired result, but my programming knowledge is limited. Any help would be appreciated. I am sure this is pretty simple, once understood.

Thanks!

When writing the settings you use ui->StepResolutionText->toPlainText() to the the value.

So ui->StepResolutionText is likely the element you want the loaded value to put into, correct?
In which case you locate the setter function that corresponds to the toPlainText() getter.
Assuming ui->StepResolutionText is of type QTextEdit, that would be setPlainText().

ui->StepResolutionText->setPlainText(settings.value("Resolution").toString());

ui->StepResolutionText->setPlainText(settings.value("Resolution").toString());
