Freezing text controls when I try to modify text from c++

Printable View

Hi,
QML Text controls is freezing for several second when I try to modify text from c++.

My code:

MyXML.h:

Code:

#ifndef MYXMLCLASS_H

#include <QObject>

public:
    MyXML();
    MyXML(QString);

Are you sure it freezes when you update the properties, not when parsing the XML file?

Also with so many properties of the same type it makes me wonder if you are not looking for a model.

Yes, I remove the code that is related to reading XML file, and just put "setPROPERTY 2("neda 2");" for test.

I am beginner in Qt and have not experience. :(
I want to show data of XML file in text controls, please guide me to write better code.
Thank you

Then there is likely something wrong.
Have you tried reducing the code to just have two properties?

For showing data from an XML file you could have a look at XmlListModel.

Re: Freezing text controls when I try to modify text from c++

I think I'd better complete code here.

I have 5 text field control and one tableview.

User can add row to tableview (contain 12 column (prop6 - 16 and image)).
I must save data (all row of tableview and text of 5 controls and one image) in XML file,
and when I open XML file, it shows data in tableview and text controls.

QML Text controls (propery 1 -5) is freezing for 6 second when I try to modify text from c++.

I have no idea how to write code for this process.

My XML file:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<NewDataSet>
  <header prop1="..." prop2="..." prop3="..." prop4="..." prop5="..." />
 
  <record prop6=".." prop7=".." prop8="..." prop9=".." prop10=".." prop11=".." prop12="..." prop13="..." prop14=..." prop15="..." prop16="..." image="iVBORw0KGgoAAtKdOq1aPGLd/Y8QAQEprZ1a7P3oLIBAIgBRIRtcI8w/ ...." />
  <record prop6=".." prop7=".." prop8="..." prop9=".." prop10=".." prop11=".." prop12="..." prop13="..." prop14=..." prop15="..." prop16="..." image="iVBORw0KGgoAAtKdOq1aPGLd/Y8QAQEprZ1a7P3oLIBAIgBRIRtcI8w/ ...." />
  .......
  .......
  .......
  <record prop6=".." prop7=".." prop8="..." prop9=".." prop10=".." prop11=".." prop12="..." prop13="..." prop14=..." prop15="..." prop16="..." image="iVBORw0KGgoAAtKdOq1aPGLd/Y8QAQEprZ1a7P3oLIBAIgBRIRtcI8w/ ...." />
</NewDataSet>

myxml.cpp:

	????? save data of tableview
 
    xmlWriter.writeEndElement();
 
    file.close();
}
}

Re: Freezing text controls when I try to modify text from c++

Your comment suggests that you get the freezing when updating the values during XML parsing, but earlier you said it would happen even when not loading from XML?

In any case you will need a model to handle the table, see http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtquick-modelv...tractitemmodel

Ok, very strange.

Can you provide/attach a minimal program that shows the problem?

Thank you.
I figure out my problem.

This problem will happen when I open th file name is not English.. :(
Is there a way to solve this problem?

What is a "non-English name" ???

Re: Freezing text controls when I try to modify text from c++

I mean the file name is not English.

Re: Freezing text controls when I try to modify text from c++

Thats no serious answer.... A german or italian or french filename will work too.
Do you mean a filename with another charset?

You may try the "decodeName" method on the QFile class
