Closing a dialog using a button

[srohit24]

Hi

I need to close the dialog box using a button. I have 4 line edits and i need to save the values into a variable before closing the dialog.

I have a mainwindow and a dialog.

this is my code, to open the dialog b4 the main window.


void desktop::newdevice()
{
QDialog dlg;
Ui::newdevice newui;
newui.setupUi(&dlg);

identityreaddata();
dlg.setWindowTitle("Title");
newui.statuslabel->setText("Please enter the details");

//if(dev_email == '\0' || dev_serialno == '\0'|| dev_devicename == '\0' )
{
if(dlg.exec()== QDialog::Accepted);
{
devicename = newui.devnameEdit->text();
password = newui.passEdit->text();
email = newui.emailEdit->text();
slno = newui.slnoEdit->text();
qDebug () << "device name"<<devicename;
qDebug () << "password"<<password;
qDebug () << "email"<<email;
qDebug () << "slno"<<slno;
connect(newui.updateButton, SIGNAL(clicked()),SLOT (QDialog::close()));

}

but when i press the update button, the dialog doesnt close. I have to press the x button on the right top corner to close it.

Can somebody help me with this??

Move line 23 to line 6

Shouldn't you


whatever->setAttribute(Qt::WA_DeleteOnClose)
connect(newui.updateButton, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(close()));

I guess it should be

connect(newui.updateButton, SIGNAL(clicked()), &dlg, SLOT(close()));
after you have setup the gui, but you can do it also inside the Designer...
