How to get a spinbox value to a variable ?

[Flavio Mesquita]

Hi everyone,
I´m new to programming and Qt, but i loved the interface and I´m trying to learn and improve my skills.
I received a task to create a simple interface that is composed of 4 spinboxes, 2 radio buttons, 2 checboxes and a command link button(RUN).
I have to select the values on each one and when I press the RUN button it has to get all those values chosen and create a txt file, where each line is one of the values, this file will be later read by another program as a configuration file ini.
I created variables that should receive these values and by the end are read by another function that creates the txt file.
My problem is how to assign the values changed on the spinboxes and assign it to the variables. I can get the default values, when the interface initializes assigned to the variables, but when I select the values I want and click RUN nothing happens. I´m pretty sure it is something very simple, I just don’t know what. Can u give some idea what am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.

What does it mean "nothing happens" ?

Hi,
i meant when i open the GUI it creates a .ini file automatically with the default values, then when i choose the values i want and then click RUN, it doesn`t update the values written to the ini file.
Anyway i solved it already by eliminating the function for create the file and putting it inside the RUN function. So, when i click the button it gets the values from the interface assign it to the variables and then updates the ini file.

That was the problem. Write must be called at the end of the on_RUN_clicked() and not in the constructor.
