I need to see if a custom posted event to the state machine was accepted or not. My approach is to subclass QStateMachine. See http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/statemachine-api.html section Events, Transitions and Guards
I'm wondering is there is not something I missed in the code below. Is there not another/better approach?
Basically here is the same as per the Qt Doc:
bool MyStateTransition::eventTest(QEvent *e)
{
if (e->type() != QEvent::Type(QEvent::User+1)) // MyEvent
return false;
MyEvent *se = static_cast<MyEvent*>(e);
if(m_value != se->value)
{
se->setRejected(true);
return false;
}
qDebug() << "MyStateTransition::eventTest() - Transition " << m_value << " accepting event " << se->value;
se->setRejected(false);
return true;
}
And the simplest way I could find to far to detect the reject is this:
void MyStateMachine::endSelectTransitions(QEvent *event)
{
if (event->type() != QEvent::Type(QEvent::User+1)) return;
MyEvent *se = static_cast<MyEvent*>(event);
if(se->rejected())
emit eventRejected(se);
else
//Not really needed since we can use triggered() which will fire after
emit eventAccepted(se);
}
Ok, finally answering my own question: It works but is basically a hack since not officially documented.
