public function to set lineedit in mainwindow

[mrjj]

@TMJJ001

its listed under protected in the .h file.

@mrjj

Sorry but I don't see it. How is it under protected in the .h files?
It is under "signals:", how is it then under protected.
Looks like I'm missing something some thing big times!!

Kind regards.

@TMJJ001

or maybe i do, but you are not showing any code so im just guessing. :)
its normally what message means.

@mrjj

Ok sorry, I will post my code again:

So Lets start with the mainwindow.h

#ifndef MAINWINDOW_H
#define MAINWINDOW_H

#include <QMainWindow>
#include <tsp.h>
#include <QMessageBox>

namespace Ui {
class MainWindow;
}

class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
{
    Q_OBJECT

public:
    explicit MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0);
    ~MainWindow();

public slots:
    void tspVisualize(struct valuesFromCanSensor candata); //This is the slot which get called after signal readingAvailable.

private slots:

private:
    Ui::MainWindow *ui;

};

#endif // MAINWINDOW_H

Next I will show the mainwindow.cpp file

#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"
#include "canbus_socket.h"
#include "tsp.h"

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);
}

MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
    delete ui;
}
void MainWindow::on_searchButton_clicked()
{
    TSP tsp_run(this);
	ui->Terminal_textEdit->appendPlainText("Start reading sensor");
    tsp_run.can_tsp(ui->comboBox->currentText());							// Here I call the function can_tsp from the class TSP
    connect(tsp_run,&TSP::readingAvailable,this,&MainWindow::tspVisualize);	// Here I connected the signal readingAvailable to the visualization.
}																			// readingAvailable will be called at the end of can_tsp and will pass a structure to tspVisualize



void MainWindow::tspVisualize(struct valuesFromCanSensor candata)
{
    qDebug()<< "ID " << candata.can_id;
	ui->DT_lineEdit->setText(QString::number(candata.can_id,16));

	// ... and visualize all other parameters from the passed structure

}

next tsp.h

#ifndef TSP_H
#define TSP_H

#include <QObject>
#include <QMessageBox>
#include "mainwindow.h"
#include <QDebug>

class TSP : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    explicit TSP(QObject *parent = 0);
    ~TSP();
	
	struct valuesFromCanSensor{		// Set structure to send data to mainwindow.cpp
        int can_id;
        int can_DT;
        int can_DN;
        int can_SN;
        int can_S;
        int can_HW;
        int can_SW;
        int can_PV;
        int can_OP;
        int can_M;
        int can_B;
    };

signals:
    void readingAvailable(struct valuesFromCanSensor candatasend);			// Signal which sends the data 

public slots:
    void can_tsp(QString cranT);
   

private:
    struct valuesFromCanSensor candata;		// initialize a new structure to save data into and send later on

};

#endif // TSP_H

@TMJJ001

Hi
ok thats odd. looks ok from quick look.
must test in compiler to know for sure

anyway, i say

void MainWindow::on_searchButton_clicked()
{
TSP tsp_run(this);
ui->Terminal_textEdit->appendPlainText("Start reading sensor");
tsp_run.can_tsp(ui->comboBox->currentText()); // Here I call the function can_tsp from the class TSP
connect(tsp_run,&TSP::readingAvailable,this,&MainWindow::tspVisualize); // Here I connected the signal readingAvailable to the visualization.
}

TSP tsp_run(this); << wont this be DELETED long before it can ever say readingAvailable ?
its deleted as soon as on_searchButton_clicked ends since its local stack variable.

@mrjj

Hi,

When I run this, it runs completely without issue.
I get the outputs in the terminal by "qDebug();", So I think this is fine no?

[mrjj]

@TMJJ001
Ok, sounds ok then. Just looked fishy.
does tsp_run.can_tsp send the readingAvailable signal ?

[TMJJ001]

@mrjj

Hi,

When I send the signal within my class without I have no problems at all. When I try to connect in the mainwindow I get the previous error. Now I was playing a bit with the connect in the main function. When I did the following I get no error, but the SLOT also doesn't get called.

connect(&tsp_run,SIGNAL(readingAvailable(),this,SLOT(tspVisualize());

[mrjj]

@TMJJ001
main function = main.cpp ?
when using old syntax, you should check return value to see if it works.

qDebug() << "works:" << connect(&tsp_run,SIGNAL(readingAvailable(),this,SLOT(tspVisualize());

[TMJJ001]

@mrjj

Sorry in the mainwindow. NOT in the main!
Ok, When I do this I get "works:true". So this works.

But, In the function tspVisualize() I have written:

qDebug()<<"send to mainwindow";

This I don't see in the terminal. Damn what is happening.

[Pablo J. Rogina]

@TMJJ001 you may want to check this example

[TMJJ001]

@Pablo-J.-Rogina
Thanks for the time to make example code.
It didn't work straight away, this because I use qt4.8 and you the newer one probably.
So I changed your code to the older syntax to get it working.

I would like to thank you and all others for there help!
Again I learned a lot!

Thanks for helping!
