qtScrollDial and QLCDNumber communication

[saman_artorious]

Let's consider this case\

I have three QtScrollDials, each representing one digit of a float number. the last one is for after-the-point digit.
I also have one QLCDNumber, what I am preferring to do is
when the operator sets each of these three QtScrollDials, the related digit in the QLCDNumber is changed accordingly.

I'm sure you can figure out how to update a number when its hundreds, tens, ones, and tenths change, so...

(I assume you're referring to the QtScrollDial demo widget)

Attach a slot to the dial's signal used to indicate a value change ( valueChanged(int) ), in that slot, get the current value of the QLCDNumber widget, update it appropriately, and then set the value back into the QLCDNumber widget.

I have a problem here, I have 3 QtScrollDials inside X class. I edited the updateLabel slot of QtScrollDials class so when it updates the label it also sends a signal to X class, so that I can get its value and set my QLCDNumber accordingly.


void QtScrollDial::updateLabelValue()
{
m_label->setText(QString::number(value()));
emit updateDisplaySignal_valueChangedDahgan(value());
}


The problem I have is that I have 3 dials, not one, for each of these dials I need to emit 3 different signals so that I can understand which dial sent the signal.
do have any idea how I can do that?

Read aout QObject::sender

[saman_artorious]

Read aout QObject::sender

this is QtScrollDial SLOT:


void QtScrollDial::updateLabelValue()
{
m_label->setText(QString::number(value()));

emit updateDisplaySignal_valueChanged(value());
}


Inside X class
let's connect all 3 QtScrollDials to the above signal:


connect(myScrollDial, SIGNAL(updateDisplaySignal_valueChanged(int)), this, SLOT(scrollPopUp_valueChanged(int)));
connect(myScrollDial_2, SIGNAL(updateDisplaySignal_valueChanged(int)), this, SLOT(scrollPopUp_valueChanged(int)));
connect(myScrollDial_3, SIGNAL(updateDisplaySignal_valueChanged(int)), this, SLOT(scrollPopUp_valueChanged(int)));



inside the Slot I write this


QObject *sender = QObject::sender();
qDebug() << sender->objectName();



Everytime I run the program, sender gives me different addresses, and object name prints null.

You don't need sender name. Just compare sender address to myScrollDial, myScrollDial_2 and myScrollDial_3 to detect which digit You must change.
