I am doing a program in QT in order to create a form and be able to save the information in a document. I have created my View for the form (where the user will enter the name), but now I do not know how to save what is written there in a String. Can you help me? Thanks !!
Clarification: my goal is to save the text that is written in the QLineEdit in a by pressing a pushButton in a string.
Clarification2: if I jump to the function saveTheText
when I press the button but I can not save the message or display it.
Here the header of my View:
#ifndef MAINWINDOW_H
#define MAINWINDOW_H
#include <QMainWindow>
#include <QFormLayout>
#include <QLabel>
#include <QGridLayout>
#include <QGroupBox>
#include <QDialog>
#include <QLineEdit>
class QGroupBox;
class QLabel;
class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
MainWindow(QWidget *parent=nullptr);
private slots:
void saveTheText();
private:
QGroupBox *myGroup;
QPushButton *p_saveButton;
QLineEdit *p_editName;
QString *getName;
};
#endif // MAINWINDOW_H
Here the .cpp of my View:
#include "MainWindow.h"
#include "ModelOne.h"
#include <QtWidgets>
#include <QMainWindow>
#include <QTreeView>
#include <iostream>
MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent)
: QMainWindow (parent)
{
std::cout<<"HOLA"<<std::endl;
QWidget *p_theCentralWidget = new QWidget(this);
QGridLayout *p_myGrid = new QGridLayout(p_theCentralWidget);
QLabel *p_labelName = new QLabel("Name", this);
p_myGrid->addWidget(p_labelName,0,0);
p_editName = new QLineEdit(this); //Por poner ponemos "this", pero puede ser "p_theCentralWidget"
p_myGrid->addWidget(p_editName, 0, 1);
p_saveButton=new QPushButton("Save name",this);
p_myGrid->addWidget(p_saveButton,0,2);
connect(p_saveButton,SIGNAL(clicked()),this,SLOT(saveTheText()));
setCentralWidget(p_theCentralWidget);
}
void MainWindow::saveTheText()
{
std::cout<<"HOLA222"<<std::endl;
p_editName->displayText();
// *getName=p_editName->text();
// std::cout<<getName<<std::endl;
// QString miString("ho");
// miString=p_editName->text();
}
The main:
#include <QApplication>
#include "MainWindow.h"
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
MainWindow window;
window.show();
return a.exec();
}
