QDataWidgetMapper with QGroupBox

[Nightfox]

I'm trying to get a QGroupBox cheked state to change with an QDataWidgetMapper. I'm using a model with several controls and the QDataWidgetMapper being one of them. I want a group of controls to be displayed or hidden based on the value in the QDataWidgetMapper that can take on the value 0 or 1.

For all of the controls it's no problem, but for the QGroupBox I can't get it to react.

mapper = new QDataWidgetMapper(this);
    mapper->setModel(mymodel);
 
    QLabel *lbl_acc_code = new QLabel("Code",this);
    QLineEdit *txt_acc_code = new QLineEdit(this);
    lbl_acc_code->setBuddy(txt_acc_code);
    mapper->addMapping(txt_acc_code, 0);
 
    QLabel *lbl_acc_name = new QLabel("Name",this);
    QLineEdit *txt_acc_name = new QLineEdit(this);
    mapper->addMapping(txt_acc_name, 1);
 
    QGroupBox *groupBox = new QGroupBox(tr("Incl. controls"),this);
    groupBox->setCheckable(true);
    groupBox->setChecked(false);
    //mapper->addMapping(groupBox,2) ; //I've tried this
    //The mapper has the value 0 or 1 at position 2. This should determine if the group is checked or not
    mapper->addMapping(groupBox,2,"setChecked(bool)") ; //This doesn't work either

mapper = new QDataWidgetMapper(this);
    mapper->setModel(mymodel);

    QLabel *lbl_acc_code = new QLabel("Code",this);
    QLineEdit *txt_acc_code = new QLineEdit(this);
    lbl_acc_code->setBuddy(txt_acc_code);
    mapper->addMapping(txt_acc_code, 0);

    QLabel *lbl_acc_name = new QLabel("Name",this);
    QLineEdit *txt_acc_name = new QLineEdit(this);
    mapper->addMapping(txt_acc_name, 1);

    QGroupBox *groupBox = new QGroupBox(tr("Incl. controls"),this);
    groupBox->setCheckable(true);
    groupBox->setChecked(false);
    //mapper->addMapping(groupBox,2) ; //I've tried this
    //The mapper has the value 0 or 1 at position 2. This should determine if the group is checked or not
    mapper->addMapping(groupBox,2,"setChecked(bool)") ; //This doesn't work either

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I've even tried to add a dummy checkbox to connect to the mapper and then signal/slot with the groupbox.

Is it possible to connect the QGroupBoxs checked state to the mapper?

Thanks

Guys!!

I've tried everything now and I'm still not able to bind the mapper with the groupbox (setChecked property) in a way that it works.

Can this really be true that no one can help me out with problem?

Let me know thanks!

the group is checked or not
    mapper->addMapping(groupBox,2,"setChecked(bool)") ; //This doesn't work either

    mapper->addMapping(groupBox,2,"setChecked(bool)") ; //This doesn't work either

Did you try

mapper->addMapping(groupBox,2,"checked") ;

mapper->addMapping(groupBox,2,"checked") ;

Please refer to documentation, "checked" is name of the porperty setChecked(bool) is name of the slot to set that property.

Hope it helps
