How do i close a buttonless dialog.

[geekshlby]

Updated mainwindow.cpp to show the form with:

purge dialog(this);
dialog.exec()

purge dialog(this);
dialog.exec()

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Updated purge.h to:

protected:
    void changeEvent(QEvent *e);
    void showEvent(QShowEvent *);
    void closeEvent(QCloseEvent *e);

protected:
    void changeEvent(QEvent *e);
    void showEvent(QShowEvent *);
    void closeEvent(QCloseEvent *e);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Updated purge.cpp to make a call to purgeCache function in the showEvent:

void purge::showEvent(QShowEvent *)
{
    qDebug() << "in the show event";
    purge::purgeCache();
}

void purge::showEvent(QShowEvent *)
{
    qDebug() << "in the show event";
    purge::purgeCache();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Updated purge.cpp to output when the closeEvent occurs:

void purge::closeEvent(QCloseEvent *e)
{
    qDebug() << " in the close event";
}

void purge::closeEvent(QCloseEvent *e)
{
    qDebug() << " in the close event";
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I can clearly see the call to close the window, yet it does not close.
Also, now that I am calling the purgeCache function from the showEvent, and the purgeCache function includes "close()" the form will not close whatsoever. Every time I click the close button on the window manager, it outputs "in the close event", so I show to be in the close handler, yet it doesn't happen, and I have to kill the app.

Once again, I apprecaite your input

I had to cheat to make it work the way I wanted.

I added a check in the changeEvent:

if (strPurged == "True")
        close();

if (strPurged == "True")
        close();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

At the end of the purgeCache function I assign True to strPurged.

I noticed that even though I enter the closeEvent and the window wouldn't close, that a call was made to the changeEvent since closing is a changeEvent.

Although this is a bit hackish it works. If there is a better way please let me know.

After you override those virtual function, you should call the original version to make it do original things. e.g.

void purge::closeEvent(QCloseEvent *e)
{
qDebug() << " in the close event";
QDialog::closeEvent(e);
}

void purge::closeEvent(QCloseEvent *e)
{
qDebug() << " in the close event";
QDialog::closeEvent(e);
}
