Handle of MainWindow using CheckBox

[kamlmish]

Hi All

I have a small issue where I need to resize the mainwindow using the checkbox. My environment is Linkat( linux) and Qt.
Issue is when I check the checkbox, the window resizes to the size given in isFloating(), but when I uncheck the box, it does not return to isDocked() size
The default size is isDocked();

In the MainWindow class , I have the following code
MainWindow.h
/************************************************** ********/
class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
MainWindow();
~MainWindow();
public slots:
void isDocked();
void isFloated();
public:
Qt::CheckState state;
QCheckBox *m_CheckBox;
}
/************************************************** **/
MainWindow.cpp
/************************************************** ****/
MainWindow::MainWindow()
{
m_CheckBox = new QCheckBox(this);
m_CheckBox->setGeometry(20,460,270,700);
state = Qt::Unchecked;

connect(m_CheckBox,SIGNAL(clicked()),this,SLOT(isD ocked()),Qt::AutoConnection); connect(m_CheckBox,SIGNAL(clicked()),this,SLOT(isF loated()),Qt::AutoConnection);
}

void MainWindow::isDocked()
{
this->setGeometry(20,460,270,700);
state = Qt::Checked;

}

void MainWindow::isFloated()
{
this->setGeometry(0,0,766,566);
state =Qt::Unchecked;

}

Use [code] tags in future.

You have connected the clicked() signal to both slots. So, when you click the check box first isDocked() is called, then isFloated(). Consequently, your window always ends up being the "floated" size.

Removed dupe post.

What needs to be done to make the window return to "docked" size.
Do I need to create a signal and connect it to the "isFloated()"

But the sender has to be the checkbox

You don't need to create a signal, you just need to sit and think about the logic of what you want to do when the existing signal is received.

Some more hints:

• You only need one slot and one signal
• The stateChanged() signal might be useful but clicked() can do it too
• Your existing "state" member variable is neither useful nor used.
