Problem with saving function (overwrite file which saved by dialog)
-
@Wieland
Hi, this works, but the Problem is, that you create a new file ("unbenannt.html")I want to overwrite the file i create with the Dialog before. You understand?
-
@HenrikSt. In this case the name you assign to fileName here must exactly match the name of the existing file.
-
@Wieland
I know... But every user enter another fileName so "unbenannt.htm" will not work..Do you have another idea?
Thanks :)
-
@HenrikSt. After the user entered the file name the first time, just save the name then and use it again later.

@Wieland
Ah ok. I'm new in Qt. Can you write an example for this case that i can use it?I have Problems with writing Code. Reading is no Problem. Do you have any tips for me?

The following code isn't very elegant but I think it's good enough to serve as an example.
mainwindow.h
#ifndef MAINWINDOW_H #define MAINWINDOW_H #include <QMainWindow> namespace Ui { class MainWindow; } class MainWindow : public QMainWindow { Q_OBJECT public: explicit MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0); ~MainWindow(); bool mySaveFunction(); QString toHtml() const; private slots: void saveFile(); private: Ui::MainWindow *ui; QString m_fileName; }; #endif // MAINWINDOW_H
mainwindow.cpp
#include "mainwindow.h" #include "ui_mainwindow.h" #include <QFile> #include <QTextStream> #include <QDebug> #include <QStandardPaths> #include <QFileDialog> #include <QMessageBox> bool MainWindow::mySaveFunction() { // if this happens we have a bug in our code Q_ASSERT_X(!m_fileName.isEmpty(), "mySaveFunction", "m_fileName is empty"); QFile file(m_fileName); if (!file.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly | QIODevice::Text)) { QMessageBox::critical(this, "Fehler", QString("Fehler beim Speichern der Datei: %1").arg(m_fileName) ); return false; } QTextStream out(&file); out << toHtml(); file.close(); QMessageBox::information(this, "Information", QString("Die Datei wurde gespeichert: %1").arg(m_fileName) ); return true; } MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) : QMainWindow(parent), ui(new Ui::MainWindow) { ui->setupUi(this); connect(ui->pushButton, SIGNAL(clicked(bool)), this, SLOT(saveFile())); } MainWindow::~MainWindow() { delete ui; } QString MainWindow::toHtml() const { return "<html></html>\n"; } void MainWindow::saveFile() { if (m_fileName.isEmpty()) { // first attempt to save the file m_fileName = QFileDialog::getSaveFileName(this, tr("Speichern unter..."), QString("Unbenannt.htm"), tr("TextPad 1.0 (*.htm);;")); if (m_fileName.isEmpty()) { return; // dialog was canceled } } if (!mySaveFunction()) { m_fileName.clear(); // saving failed. clear m_fileName so the QFileDialog will come up again next time } }

Hi, thank you for the exampleif (!mySaveFunction()) { m_fileName.clear(); // saving failed. clear m_fileName so the QFileDialog will come up again next time }
This Code is not working...
C:\Users\Henrik\Documents\TextPad\pagestextedit.cpp:557: Fehler: could not convert 'PagesTextEdit::saveUnderDocument()' from 'void' to 'bool' if (!saveUnderDocument()) { ^
I have void MainWindow::save....
and not boolHow can i Change it?
One Problem is existing..
When i open a file e.g. from Desktop and i write something in and want to save it with mySaveFunction i get an runtime error...
Do you know why?Thanks a lot
-
@HenrikSt.
The Code which is not working i fixed it...But the other Problem not

@HenrikSt. said:
Do you know why?
No.

-
@HenrikSt.
But you understand my Problem? -
The cause for that crash can be everything!
How should anybody know what it is without your code?
Did you try to debug your program to see where it crashes?
