QTextBroxser : home() problem

**wysota** · 11th May 2007, 00:54

It seems to work quite fine for me... Check the attached ui file (adjust the source to match your Qt docs index.html). Also be sure to always change the active document using setSource().

Thanks Wysota, I didn't saw the answer before

This works well !

I had reimplemented the slots that could be set with the QtDesigner and I made an error.
I set the home_button to perform

Qt Code:

Switch view

my_text_box->home();

my_text_box->home();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Certainly should I set :

Qt Code:

Switch view

my_text_box->setSource(home());

my_text_box->setSource(home());

Hi,

I don't understand why but I can't make my browser to work.
When I execute my app, the browser is wide, clean, cleared...

When I open the .ui file, the browser looks well and the html content is displayed.
When I preview the .ui file, the browser is wide, clean, cleared...

The source is set in the .ui file, and never modified in my source code.

The only thing I've done since the last two weeks is to rebuild my Qt Open Source editon with the following configure.cache (under Win2000) :

Qt Code:

Switch view

-release
-static 
-fast 
-no-exceptions 
-no-dsp 
-no-vcproj 
-no-rtti 
-no-style-windowsxp

-release
-static 
-fast 
-no-exceptions 
-no-dsp 
-no-vcproj 
-no-rtti 
-no-style-windowsxp

You're probably using a relative path for your source and Qt can't find it once the binary is moved to other place (like debug or release folders).

**Nyphel** · 24th May 2007, 11:35

Yes this is a relative path : ../../help/help.html

This relative path is the same path for my .ui file and my .exe file.

Qt Code:

Switch view

my_project
|-- help
|    |-- help.html
|
|-- gui
|    |-- gui
|        |-- help.ui
|
|-- my_app
|    |-- { sources }
|    |-- release
|        |-- my_app.exe

my_project
|-- help
|    |-- help.html
|
|-- gui
|    |-- gui
|        |-- help.ui
|
|-- my_app
|    |-- { sources }
|    |-- release
|        |-- my_app.exe

But what I don't understand is that I don't move my application when I want to test it

Moreover I must set a relative path, cause this application will be deployed on ifferent OS (Linux, Win98, Win2000 and WinXP). Isn't it possible ?

You can embed the files you need into your executable and use the resource system to access them.

**Nyphel** · 24th May 2007, 12:39

Mmmhhh... I think that this solution wouldn't be the best for me

I use a TextBrowser in order to be able to modify the help file without a complete rebuild of my application. So, if I embed it in the ressources file, wouldn't I lost this ability ?

**wysota** · 24th May 2007, 13:05

You can do the embedding only when your application is being released and use real files when developing. Alternatively use file path relative to QApplication::applicationDirPath(), just make sure they are always correct. For example Windows compilers tend to move your application to different directories when compiling.

**Nyphel** · 24th May 2007, 13:44

That's a great idea, thanks Wysota, but it doesn't resolve my problem

I think my installation is broken, cause it has worked very well before I rebuild my Qt Open Source edition with the static option.
Moreover, my compiler doesn't move the file while compiling (I've checked this point to be sure) and I'm pretty sure that if the QtDesigner editor can read the HTML file while editing the .ui, it should be able to read the content while doing the preview (with CTRL+D).

I don't really know what to do, but thanks for your help and tips, that helped me

**wysota** · 24th May 2007, 13:45

Could you prepare a minimal compilable example that reproduces the problem?

**Nyphel** · 24th May 2007, 14:37

I'm a .ui file similar to yours

The difference is that I'm under Win2000 and my path to the HTML file is [../../aide/accueil.html] and not [/usr/share/doc/qt4/doc/html/index.html].
("aide" stands for "help" in french)

I generate the header file with the command :
uic aide.ui -o aide.h

And I use an implementation class...

Here is my HTML :

Qt Code:

Switch view

<html>
  <head>
  </head>
 
  <body>
        huhuhuh  hin hin hin !
        <br /><br />
        <a href="suite.html">a link</a>
  </body>
 
</html>

<html>
  <head>
  </head>

  <body>
        huhuhuh  hin hin hin !
        <br /><br />
        <a href="suite.html">a link</a>
  </body>

</html>

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

(I made some links to test the forward/backward/home functionnalities)

Here is my implementation class :

Qt Code:

Switch view

#ifndef Aide_impl_h
#define Aide_impl_h
 
#include "../gui/gui/ui_aide.h"
 
#include <QObject>
#include <QDialog>
#include <QtGui>
#include <QUrl>
 
class Aide_impl : public QDialog, public Ui::dialog_Aide
{
  Q_OBJECT
 
public:
	Aide_impl(QWidget *parent = 0);
 
protected:	
 
private slots:
 
private:
};
 
#endif  // Aide_impl_h

#ifndef Aide_impl_h
#define Aide_impl_h

#include "../gui/gui/ui_aide.h"

#include <QObject>
#include <QDialog>
#include <QtGui>
#include <QUrl>
 
class Aide_impl : public QDialog, public Ui::dialog_Aide
{
  Q_OBJECT

public:
	Aide_impl(QWidget *parent = 0);
	
protected:	
	
private slots:
	
private:
};

#endif  // Aide_impl_h

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Qt Code:

Switch view

Aide_impl::Aide_impl(QWidget *parent) : QDialog(parent)
{
	setupUi(this);
}

Aide_impl::Aide_impl(QWidget *parent) : QDialog(parent)
{
	setupUi(this);
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

And I use it in my application :

Qt Code:

Switch view

Aide_impl my_help_window = new Aide_impl(this);	
my_help_window->show();

Aide_impl my_help_window = new Aide_impl(this);	
my_help_window->show();

So where do you set the path?
