QStackedWidget

[sattu]

Hi Everyone,

To my mainwindow, I have added a StackedWidget. In the StackedWidget I have added 3 pages, say, they are:
1)page_Main
2)page_User
3)page_Logs

page_Main is the default page which contains 2 pushbuttons(pB_User and pB_Logs). So the design is such that if I click pB_User, currentWidget changes to page_User and same for pB_Logs.

Now on page_User, I have a pushbutton (pB_BackUser), which when clicked should set the currentWidget to the previous page (i.e page_Main). I can do this easily by the following code:

void MainWindow::on_pB_BackUser_clicked()
{
ui->stackedWidget->setCurrentWidget(ui->page_Main);
}

But is there any more general way by which I can achieve this? :confused:
I mean some Qt Methods, which when called automatically take you to the previous page or widget? I tried with the following methods like :-

focusNextChild() , focusNextPrevChild() ,focusPreviousChild ()
but without much success. :(

I would be really glad if anyone can help me out, please.

With regards,
Sattu

no. focus methods are only for widgets which are currently visible. You are doing it in the right way.

Thanks Nish, but what about this 2 methods:


previousInFocusChain (), nextInFocusChain ()

This 2 methods return Widget*. When I use them like this:

ui->stackedWidget->setCurrentWidget(ui->stackedWidget->previousInFocusChain());

But I get the following Application Output:

QStackedWidget::setCurrentWidget: widget 0x3eb2d8 not contained in stack :confused:

My main purpose is that I need a more general way of achieving this type of operations, instead of hard-coating the WidgetNames. Please help.

dont you see "focus" in these methods also? they all fall in the same criteria i mentioned you about.

use index instead of widgets. something like-


void setPreviousWidget()
{
int index = stackWidget->currentIndex() - 1;

if ( index < 0 )
index = stackWidget->count() - 1;//go to last widget (or do not change if you like, return from here).

statckWidget->setCurrentIndex(index);

}
