How to emit signal when the label text change?

MhM93

Hi.
I have 3 forms (main form , password form and menu form) . The user click menu to open menu form ,but before the menu form shows,the password form display to authenticate the user.he could display RFID card or enter his Id and password. When he puts his card the socket notifier in main form recieved the RFID card data and it send to active form(my active form is password form).so the main form send card data to lblrfid :

if(f->windowTitle()=="PassDialog")
    {
        QLabel* lbl = f->findChild<QLabel*>("lblRFID");
        //mf->processData(output);
        lbl->setText(output);
        return;
     }

in password form I have a slot to authenticate the RFID card data and open menu form if the card is valid.

void MyDialog::AcceptCard()
{
    QString output=ui->lblRFID->text();
    bool st=database->checkPassword(NULL,output,"1");
    //this user is valid to go to menu page
    //s/he is admin
    if(st)
    {
        this->close();
        menu *m=new menu();
        m->showFullScreen();
     }
}

I want to call AcceptCard after the label text changed.
How can I do that?

Label does not have any signals. If you want signals from Label, you can inherit and provide your own own signals.

Now, based on your requirement, you can catch signal when you finished filling the first form. You may be using the line edit to fill the details on the first form. You can catch the signal from first form itself and close that form.

I edited my post. could you explain it with example . because I do not understand. so sorry.

@MhM93 You can emit a signal as soon as you change the label text:

if(f->windowTitle()=="PassDialog")
    {
        QLabel* lbl = f->findChild<QLabel*>("lblRFID");
        //mf->processData(output);
        lbl->setText(output);
        emit textChanged();
        return;
     }

Connect this signal to sAcceptCard (it has to be a slot then).

thanks. I do like that you said. I put this code in menu button in mainform:

MyDialog *d=new MyDialog(this);
          QObject::connect(this,SIGNAL(pressMood(QString)),
                      d,SLOT(getPressMood(QString)));
       //this connection send login result from MyDialog
       QObject::connect(d,SIGNAL(sendLoginResult(bool)),
                       this,SLOT(getLoginResult(bool)));
       QObject::connect(this,SIGNAL(recRFID(QString)),d,SLOT(AcceptCard(QString)));
       emit pressMood("menu");
       d->show();
       d->raise();
       d->activateWindow();

then I emit signal when receive data from RFID module.

void MainWindow::ReadAndProcessData()
{
    QString output;
    QString fn;
    serialport->readcard(output);

    QWidget *f=QApplication::activeWindow();
    QString tmp=f->windowTitle();
    if(tmp=="User-Management")
    {
        QLabel* lbl = f->findChild<QLabel*>("lblRFIDdata");
        lbl->setText(output);
        QSound::play("ringing.wav");
        return;
    }
    if(tmp=="autotest")
    {
        QLabel* lbl = f->findChild<QLabel*>("lblRFID");
        lbl->setText(output);
         QSound::play("ringing.wav");
        return;
    }
    if(tmp=="PassDialog")
    {
       emit recRFID(output);   //   <<--- emit is here
        return;
     } 
    else
    {
         .........
     }
}

my application run but it shows the SIGSEV error in windows title :

QString QWidget::windowTitle() const
{
    Q_D(const QWidget);
    if (d->extra && d->extra->topextra) {         //   <<<<this line has error
        if (!d->extra->topextra->caption.isEmpty())
            return d->extra->topextra->caption;
        if (!d->extra->topextra->filePath.isEmpty())
            return constructWindowTitleFromFilePath(d->extra->topextra->filePath);
    }

I solved my problem by using this line:

 if(tmp=="PassDialog")
    {
        //QLabel* lbl = f->findChild<QLabel*>("lblRFID");
        MyDialog *tempDialog = qobject_cast<MyDialog*>(f);
       tempDialog->AcceptCard(output);
//       emit recRFID(output);
        return;
     }

and clean that connection and comment the emit code. now its worked.
But I don't know why that code has error.
