How to use a file to setup a QProgressDialog, Thanks

[HelloDan]

Hi, all.
I want to read a plaintext file in my program, and show a QProgressDialog during reading. But i don't know how to detect the size of my file to set it up.

It must be a very simple question. But i have not idea about it. Could anyone help?
Thanks for any help!

use size() of QFile..next, depending upon the number of bytes read compared to total size, call setValue()

Thanks! I will try.

That's a problem, is that any way to try my thinking in a console window? I want to try QProgressDialog in a console window.

Thanks

why would u want a QProgressDialog in a console window?

[HelloDan]

Try to test if my code works.

Do you have any good ways to test?

Is it OK? I wrote it in this way, just for try

QFile file("in.txt");
  QTextStream in(&file);
 
     QProgressDialog progressDialog();
     progressDialog.setCancelButtonText(tr("&Cancel"));
     progressDialog.setRange(0, file.size());
     progressDialog.setWindowTitle(tr("Loading..."));
     QString line;
     while(file.pos()<file.size())
     {
        progressDialog.setValue(file.pos());
         progressDialog.setLabelText(tr("Searching file number %1 of %2...")
                                     .arg(file.pos()).arg(file.size()));
         qApp->processEvents();
 
         if (progressDialog.wasCanceled())
             break;
        line=in.readLine();
 
     }

QFile file("in.txt");
  QTextStream in(&file);
  
     QProgressDialog progressDialog();
     progressDialog.setCancelButtonText(tr("&Cancel"));
     progressDialog.setRange(0, file.size());
     progressDialog.setWindowTitle(tr("Loading..."));
     QString line;
     while(file.pos()<file.size())
     {
        progressDialog.setValue(file.pos());
         progressDialog.setLabelText(tr("Searching file number %1 of %2...")
                                     .arg(file.pos()).arg(file.size()));
         qApp->processEvents();

         if (progressDialog.wasCanceled())
             break;
        line=in.readLine();
	
     }

[HelloDan]

Thanks. I have try the code in my app. That segment of my code may be OK.
But that is still some problems.

1 I use QFileDialog::getOpenFileName to get a file. But i doesn't reveal immediately in the QComboBox, but it does in the comboBox which I can use my mouse to select it from the drop down list. I post my code in the following. Why?

void DataConvertor::inputFileNameBrowse()
{
    QString initialName=inputFileNameComboBox->currentText(); 
    if(initialName.isEmpty())
    	initialName=QDir::homePath();	 
    QString inputFileName=QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this,
                                tr("Open file"), initialName);
    inputFileName=QDir::toNativeSeparators(inputFileName);
 
 
    if(!inputFileName.isEmpty())
    {
    	inputFileNameComboBox->addItem(inputFileName);
    	//when it's empty, the index is 0.
    	inputFileNameComboBox->setCurrentIndex(inputFileNameComboBox->currentIndex() + 1);
    	//inputFileNameComboBox->activated(inputFileNameComboBox->currentIndex());
 
    // set output file the same location with the inputFile if it is empty.
    if(outputFileDirectoryComboBox->currentText().isEmpty())
    	{
    	  	outputFileDirectoryComboBox->addItem(QDir::toNativeSeparators(QFileInfo(inputFileName).path()));
          outputFileDirectoryComboBox->setCurrentIndex(outputFileDirectoryComboBox->currentIndex() + 1); 
          //outputFileDirectoryComboBox->activated(outputFileDirectoryComboBox->currentIndex()); 
    	}
 
    	okButton->setEnabled(true);  // enable the ok button    	
    }    	
}

void DataConvertor::inputFileNameBrowse()
{
    QString initialName=inputFileNameComboBox->currentText(); 
    if(initialName.isEmpty())
    	initialName=QDir::homePath();	 
    QString inputFileName=QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this,
                                tr("Open file"), initialName);
    inputFileName=QDir::toNativeSeparators(inputFileName);
    
     	
    if(!inputFileName.isEmpty())
    {
    	inputFileNameComboBox->addItem(inputFileName);
    	//when it's empty, the index is 0.
    	inputFileNameComboBox->setCurrentIndex(inputFileNameComboBox->currentIndex() + 1);
    	//inputFileNameComboBox->activated(inputFileNameComboBox->currentIndex());
    	
    // set output file the same location with the inputFile if it is empty.
    if(outputFileDirectoryComboBox->currentText().isEmpty())
    	{
    	  	outputFileDirectoryComboBox->addItem(QDir::toNativeSeparators(QFileInfo(inputFileName).path()));
          outputFileDirectoryComboBox->setCurrentIndex(outputFileDirectoryComboBox->currentIndex() + 1); 
          //outputFileDirectoryComboBox->activated(outputFileDirectoryComboBox->currentIndex()); 
    	}
              	
    	okButton->setEnabled(true);  // enable the ok button    	
    }    	
}

although i dont understand clearly what ur problem is, but use:

void QComboBox::setEditText ( const QString & text )   [slot]
 
Sets the text in the combobox's text edit.

void QComboBox::setEditText ( const QString & text )   [slot]

Sets the text in the combobox's text edit.

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

instead of setCurrentIndex() in both combo boxes..ur problem should solve

dont disable OK button in DataConverter, disable it at the start of processFile() and enable it again at the end of it.

[HelloDan]

dont disable OK button in DataConverter, disable it at the start of processFile() and enable it again at the end of it.

Thanks very much! I had tried. It works.

But the QComboBox drop down list problem is still that.

By the way, how can i start a new line in the file, what about in this way: out<<line<<"\n";
I find the following code doesn't work properly, the data is out of order and miss some

while(file.pos()<file.size())
    {
      	 progressDialog.setValue(file.pos());
         progressDialog.setLabelText(tr("Processing file number %1 of %2...")
                                     .arg(file.pos()).arg(file.size()));
         qApp->processEvents();
 
         if (progressDialog.wasCanceled())
             break;
         line=in.readLine();
         out<<line<<"\n";
     }

while(file.pos()<file.size())
    {
      	 progressDialog.setValue(file.pos());
         progressDialog.setLabelText(tr("Processing file number %1 of %2...")
                                     .arg(file.pos()).arg(file.size()));
         qApp->processEvents();
 
         if (progressDialog.wasCanceled())
             break;
         line=in.readLine();
         out<<line<<"\n";
     }
