Starting App from other class

? Offline

@jsulm Oh sorry, I did not explained correctly...
The code above is in a .cpp file.

And the function, where I want to start the "application in the .cpp file" is

void MainWindow::GraphicalDiagramm()
{
    //Start application from .cpp file here...
 }

Do you understand?

Do you understand?

No, because I don't know what "Start application" means here. Usually that would mean to start an external executable in its own process. @SGaist already asked you about that.
If you mean executing the code in MainWindow::GraphicalDiagramm() nothing stops you from putting the code from the main of that example (except the QApplication stuff ofcourse) into MainWindow::GraphicalDiagramm().

This is my function, and I copied the mainfunction into it:

void MainWindow::GrafischesDiagramm()
{
    //! [0]
   // QApplication app(argc, argv);
    Q3DBars *graph = new Q3DBars();
    QWidget *container = QWidget::createWindowContainer(graph);
    //! [0]

    if (!graph->hasContext()) {
        QMessageBox msgBox;
        msgBox.setText("Couldn't initialize the OpenGL context.");
        msgBox.exec();
       // return -1;
    }

    QSize screenSize = graph->screen()->size();
    container->setMinimumSize(QSize(screenSize.width() / 2, screenSize.height() / 2));
    container->setMaximumSize(screenSize);
    container->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Expanding, QSizePolicy::Expanding);
    container->setFocusPolicy(Qt::StrongFocus);

    //! [1]
    QWidget widget;
    QVBoxLayout *layout = new QVBoxLayout(&widget);
    QTableWidget *tableWidget = new QTableWidget(&widget);
    layout->addWidget(container, 1);
    layout->addWidget(tableWidget, 1, Qt::AlignHCenter);
    //! [1]

    tableWidget->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Expanding, QSizePolicy::Fixed);
    tableWidget->setAlternatingRowColors(true);
    widget.setWindowTitle(QStringLiteral("Hours spent on the Internet"));

    //! [2]
    // Since we are dealing with QTableWidget, the model will already have data sorted properly
    // into rows and columns, so we simply set useModelCategories property to true to utilize this.
    QItemModelBarDataProxy *proxy = new QItemModelBarDataProxy(tableWidget->model());
    proxy->setUseModelCategories(true);
    QBar3DSeries *series = new QBar3DSeries(proxy);
    series->setMesh(QAbstract3DSeries::MeshPyramid);
    graph->addSeries(series);
    //! [2]

    //! [3]
    GraphDataGenerator generator(graph, tableWidget);
    QObject::connect(series, &QBar3DSeries::selectedBarChanged, &generator,
                     &GraphDataGenerator::selectFromTable);
    QObject::connect(tableWidget, &QTableWidget::currentCellChanged, &generator,
                     &GraphDataGenerator::selectedFromTable);
    //! [3]

    //! [4]
    widget.show();
    generator.start();
    //return app.exec();
}

But it says:unknown type name 'QBar3DSeries, QItemModelBarDataProxy, ...

Why? I did it like you said :)

@HenrikSt-0 said in Starting App from other class:

Why?

Did you add the needed includes in your MainWindow also? Like

#include <QtDataVisualization/qbar3dseries.h>

? Offline

@jsulm Yes, I have added them there

jsulm

@HenrikSt-0 Can you show the pro file from that example?

? Offline

@jsulm Yes of course!
.pro file

android|ios|winrt {
    error( "This example is not supported for android, ios, or winrt." )
}

!include( ../examples.pri ) {
    error( "Couldn't find the examples.pri file!" )
}

SOURCES += main.cpp

QT += widgets
requires(qtConfig(tablewidget))

OTHER_FILES += doc/src/* \
               doc/images/*

.pri file

INCLUDEPATH += ../../../include

LIBS += -L$$OUT_PWD/../../../lib

TEMPLATE = app

QT += datavisualization

contains(TARGET, qml.*) {
    QT += qml quick
}

target.path = $$[QT_INSTALL_EXAMPLES]/datavisualization/$$TARGET
INSTALLS += target

QT += datavisualization i have added to my pro file

jsulm

@HenrikSt-0 Change the includes like this:

#include <QBar3DSeries>

Add

QT += datavisualization

to your pro file.

? Offline

@jsulm Yes, I did that..
But GraphDataGenerator also is an unknown type name...
Crazy..
This are my #includes in the mainwindow class:

#include <QBar3DSeries>
#include <Q3DBars>
#include <QCategory3DAxis>
#include <QItemModelBarDataProxy>
#include <QValue3DAxis>
#include <Q3DCamera>
#include <Q3DTheme>

In the GraphDataGenerator class is everything fine and there are no #includes...

SGaist

One thing>

widget.show();
generator.start();

Both are local variables and will be destroyed at the end of your method so they won't have any effect.

Beside that, it looks like you did not copy the classes that are currently not compiling in your project.

GraphDataGenerator

It is the class in the example - did you add it to your project?
