QDialog ?

I've got a simple app (no functionality yet, just laying it out) that opens with a dialog box with 2 buttons. If you hit one button another Dialog box opens and when you hit OK/Cancel from that Dialog control goes back to the original dialog. If you hit the other button the otherDialog box opens but when you hit OK/Cancel from that dialog, once it closes out and the original dialog box comes back into view, I can't click on the original dialog anymore. It's like it's grayed out. I just hear a ding in the background each time I try to click anywhere on it. I can't see anything that I'm doing differently between the 2. Are there any parenting issues involved here?

in my header for the main dialog box

Code:

---

class cMainWindowDlg : public QDialog, public Ui::cMainWindowDlg
{
   Q_OBJECT
 
public:
   cMainWindowDlg(QWidget * parent = 0);
   virtual ~cMainWindowDlg();
   void setupUi();
 
private slots:
   // Automatically connected slots.  Note these slots follow the naming convention
   // on_objectName_signalName()
 
   void on_mOkButton_clicked();
   void on_mCancelButton_clicked();
   void on_mLaborCategoryButton_clicked();
   void on_mContractButton_clicked();
 
private:
   cLaborCategoryDlg * mLaborCategoryDlg;
   cContractDataQueryDlg * mContractDataDlg;
}; // cMainWindowDlg

---

the constructor for main dialog box

Code:

---

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
cMainWindowDlg::cMainWindowDlg(QWidget * parent) :
   QDialog(parent),
   mLaborCategoryDlg(0),
   mContractDataDlg(0)
{
   // Note that setupUi() will also automatically connect any slots that follow
   // the naming conventions.
   setupUi();
 
   mLaborCategoryDlg = new cLaborCategoryDlg(this); //Managed by Qt
 
   mContractDataDlg = new cContractDataQueryDlg(this); //Managed by Qt
 
} // cMainWindowDlg::cMainWindowDlg
void cMainWindowDlg::setupUi()
{
   Ui_cMainWindowDlg::setupUi(this);  // Must call the base class setupUi first
 
} // cMainWindowDlg::setupUi

---

the 2 buttons that open up the other dialog boxes

Code:

---

void cMainWindowDlg::on_mLaborCategoryButton_clicked()
{
   bool accepted(mLaborCategoryDlg->exec()));  //true=>OK  false=>Cancel
}
void cMainWindowDlg::on_mContractButton_clicked()
{
   bool accepted(mContractDataDlg->exec()));  //true=>OK  false=>Cancel
}

How do you "close" that otherDialog in your code?

do you want to open multiple dialog by clicking first button?

I close each dialog the same way.

The one that "works"

Code:

---

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
void cLaborCategoryDlg::on_mOkButton_clicked()
{
   accept();
} // cLaborCategoryDlg::on_mOkButton_clicked
 
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
void cLaborCategoryDlg::on_mCancelButton_clicked()
{
   reject();
} // cLaborCategoryDlg::on_mCancelButton_clicked

---

The one that doesn't:

Code:

---

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
void cContractDataQueryDlg::on_mOkButton_clicked()
{
   accept();
} // cContractDataQueryDlg::on_mOkButton_clicked
 
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
void cContractDataQueryDlg::on_mCancelButton_clicked()
{
   reject();
} // cContractDataQueryDlg::on_mCancelButton_clicked

---

Have you reimplemented accept(), reject() or exec() in cContractDataQueryDlg?

No, I haven't.

I figured it out. In the dialog box that wasn't closing out properly, I had several checkboxes, and for some reason, one of the checkboxes had Qt::ApplicationModal set :o

Anyway, set it to Qt::NonModal like all of the rest, and it works fine now.

Thanks to all who replied.

Do you know that these slots are redundant? You might have done:

Code:

---

connect(mOkButton, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(accept()));
connect(mCancelButton, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(reject()));

---

Or even make the connection graphically in Designer.
