Good day,
I am trying to create a subclassed QDoubleSpinBox with the added functionality of commiting data on every valueChanged() signal.
The reason is that the spinbox is connected to a model via QDataWidgetMapper and the model is also controlling a plot. I want the plot to change instantly, which it does when the spinbox loses focus or enter is pressed, but I want it to change when the spinbox is changed in any way (mousewheel, up/down keys .. ect).
I have found a dirty way to force the commit - I connect the valueChanged signal to a slot that clears and sets the focus on the spinbox, commiting the data because it loses focus but regaining focus instantly. The side effect is that the buttons on the spinbox no longer visually lower themselves when clicked (they work though).
I have also checked the source of the QSpinBox and the QAbstractSpinBox to figure out how the data is commited when the enter key is pressed, but am unable to come up with a working solution. I have tried connecting the valueChanged() signal to the editingFinished() signal, i have tried running interpretText() and emiting editingFinished() on every valueChanged - but it does not seem to do what i want.
Is there an elegant way or even a not-so-elegant way to gain the desired functionality?
I am using Qt 4.7.2(64 bit) in Ubuntu 11.04 (64 bit).
