[SOLVED] What does QtDesigner option "Support for changing languages at runtime" do?

[A Former User]

Hello to all,

does anybody know what the QtDesigner option "Support for changing languages at runtime" (in Options - Designer - Class Generation - Code Generation) does?

I've just come across this option, but couldn't find any documentation nor any change when set and trying to insert a new mainwindow/widget designer form class. Maybe someone has an idea?

Kind regards,

Markus

Hi,

Just a guess but I think it's related to this

Hello SGaist,

thanks for your input!

Yes, i could also think of this feature being meant to automatically reimplement the changeEvent function. However, enabling the option described above seemed to have no effect. But maybe I simply did something wrong (or expected something wrong).

Greetings,

It might also be a bug in Qt Creator. You can check that with the Qt Creator developers/maintainers on the qt-creator mailing list

Now, after creating another new QtCreator project with the "Support for changing languages at runtime" option enabled, I saw that it automatically reimplements the event handler "changeEvent":

void MainWindow::changeEvent(QEvent *e)
{
QMainWindow::changeEvent(e);
switch (e->type()) {
case QEvent::LanguageChange:
ui->retranslateUi(this);
break;
default:
break;
}
}*

So, obviously your guess was right, SGaist!

Thanks, again and have a nice weekend,

Markus
