How to take window from QWorkspace?

[8Observer8]

Hi,

I try to take window from QWorkspace. But it doesn't work:

m_tablePanel = (TabelPanel *)(workspace->windowList()).at(0);

m_tablePanel = (TabelPanel *)(workspace->windowList()).at(0);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Thank you!

Please define what you mean by "it doesn't work".

I cannot update my Plot.

I'm a little ashamed for my code. But this is my first MDI program.

There is a little code:

m_tablePanel = (TabelPanel *)(workspace->windowList()).at(0);
    m_plotPanel = (PlotPanel *)(workspace->windowList()).at(1);
 
    connect(m_tablePanel, SIGNAL(itemChanged(QStandardItem *)), this, SLOT(updatePanel(QStandardItem*)));

m_tablePanel = (TabelPanel *)(workspace->windowList()).at(0);
    m_plotPanel = (PlotPanel *)(workspace->windowList()).at(1);

    connect(m_tablePanel, SIGNAL(itemChanged(QStandardItem *)), this, SLOT(updatePanel(QStandardItem*)));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

void MainWindow::updatePanel(QStandardItem *item)
{
    m_plotPanel->updatePanel(model);
}

void MainWindow::updatePanel(QStandardItem *item)
{
    m_plotPanel->updatePanel(model);
}

Maybe you can't update your plot but it doesn't mean the method doesn't work. Especially that you have an ugly C cast instead of qobject_cast or something similar. How do you know that the first item in the list is an instance of TablePanel and the second one is an instance of PlotPanel?

I want to take instance of TablePanel and PlotPanel from workspace. I don't know how to do it.

It's doesn't work:

m_tablePanel = qobject_cast<TabelPanel *>((workspace->windowList()).at(0));
m_plotPanel = qobject_cast<PlotPanel *>((workspace->windowList()).at(1));

m_tablePanel = qobject_cast<TabelPanel *>((workspace->windowList()).at(0));
m_plotPanel = qobject_cast<PlotPanel *>((workspace->windowList()).at(1));

I added the Table then the Plot.

workspace->addWindow(tablePanel);
workspace->addWindow(plotPanel);

workspace->addWindow(tablePanel);
workspace->addWindow(plotPanel);

Slot of MainWindow updatePanel() doesn't work.

connect(m_tablePanel, SIGNAL(itemChanged(QStandardItem *)), this, SLOT(updatePanel(QStandardItem*)));

connect(m_tablePanel, SIGNAL(itemChanged(QStandardItem *)), this, SLOT(updatePanel(QStandardItem*)));

Define "doesn't work". Does the program crash or do you get a result different than what you expected to get?

Slot of MainWindow updatePanel() doesn't work.

The slot doesn't get called or it behaves differently to what you expected?

I set a breakpoint in updatePanel() SLOT

void MainWindow::updatePanel(QStandardItem *item)
{
    m_plotPanel->updatePanel(model);
}

void MainWindow::updatePanel(QStandardItem *item)
{
    m_plotPanel->updatePanel(model);
}

You set a breakpoint and?

[8Observer8]

You set a breakpoint and?

Then I change value in the table. But nothing happens.

[wysota]

Apparently your signal-slot connection is invalid.

TablePanel class is unlikely to have a signal itemChanged() carrying a QStandardItem pointer unless you added such signal to the class yourself.

Thanks! Now the breakpoint works.

connect(model, SIGNAL(itemChanged(QStandardItem *)), this, SLOT(updatePanel(QStandardItem*)));

connect(model, SIGNAL(itemChanged(QStandardItem *)), this, SLOT(updatePanel(QStandardItem*)));

But the Plot is not redrawn.
