Problem in using UI object in other class

[beginQT]

Hello,

I am trying to use generated UI class object in my own helper class to control the functionality of the UI data(buttons) depending on the data.Here is the code:

Main.cpp

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	QApplication a(argc, argv);
//QT Created Class
    PSX_HMI w;
    w.show();
 
//Helper class which uses UI object
    CPsxHMI_stateMechine stateMachine(w.getUI_Object(), w.getCANIO_DataObject());
    return a.exec();
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	QApplication a(argc, argv);
//QT Created Class
    PSX_HMI w;
    w.show();

//Helper class which uses UI object
    CPsxHMI_stateMechine stateMachine(w.getUI_Object(), w.getCANIO_DataObject());
    return a.exec();
}

When I am using objPsx_HMI_ui object which is UI class object I could not run my application, Some problem with runtime libraries. It opens and immediately resets.

Could any one help me in this regard?

Thanks in Advance!

Hello,

Sorry for the confusion!

What I am looking for is something like user defined signals and slots.
I have few Qpushbuttons I need to show different stylesheets and to make them visible depending on some Data. I want to define some signals which takes this data and when the data changes i need to call some slot to do some operations.

Please help me in this regard.

Thanks in Advance!

Signals and slots

[beginQT]

Hello,

Thanks for the reply.

I have gone through the link, I could not get solution for the problem I am looking for.

I have a QPushButton for which there are different button images to be shown for a particular button depending on some data change.

I mean I have different button images for same feature like ON, OFF and error. To take a decision on whether to show ON or OFF button image I am depending on some data coming from the lower layers. so, what I am trying to do is when this data changes I want to emit an signal with its value so that I can take decision on which button image to be displayed in slot.

I am trying to do the following but it is not working.

//in .h file
public slots:
void generate(int);
 
signals:
void PSCvalueChanged(int);

//in .h file
public slots:
void generate(int);

signals:
void PSCvalueChanged(int);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

//Connect in Constructor of child class of QMainWindow
connect(ui.pushButton,SIGNAL(PSCvalueChanged(int)),this,SLOT(generate(int)));

//Connect in Constructor of child class of QMainWindow
connect(ui.pushButton,SIGNAL(PSCvalueChanged(int)),this,SLOT(generate(int)));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

//Helper function called by other class when data changes
void MultiGlWindows::emitSignals(int newValue)
{
	emit PSCvalueChanged(newValue);
}
 
//Slot Defnition
void MultiGlWindows::generate(int value)
{
 
 
	if(value == 3)
	{
		emit PSCvalueChanged(value);
		ui.pushButton->setGeometry(5, 150, 140, 50);
		ui.pushButton->setStyleSheet("image: url(:/debug/Images/APS_notactive.png)\n");
	}
	else{
		ui.pushButton->setGeometry(5, 250, 140, 50);
		ui.pushButton->setStyleSheet("image: url(:/debug/Images/APS_active.png)\n");
	}
}

//Helper function called by other class when data changes
void MultiGlWindows::emitSignals(int newValue)
{
	emit PSCvalueChanged(newValue);
}

//Slot Defnition
void MultiGlWindows::generate(int value)
{


	if(value == 3)
	{
		emit PSCvalueChanged(value);
		ui.pushButton->setGeometry(5, 150, 140, 50);
		ui.pushButton->setStyleSheet("image: url(:/debug/Images/APS_notactive.png)\n");
	}
	else{
		ui.pushButton->setGeometry(5, 250, 140, 50);
		ui.pushButton->setStyleSheet("image: url(:/debug/Images/APS_active.png)\n");
	}
}

Could you please tell me where it went wrong? or do I need to follow any alternate approach?

Thanks in Advance!

I think your program has already told you (in the console) QPushButton didn't have a PSCvalueChanged(int) signal. Your app is smart, you should listen to it.

And start using layouts in your apps, please.
