I have an application which contains such lines.
emit WindowAdded(settings->WindowType);//!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MyWindow *widget = new MyWindow(0,settings,currentWindowIndex);
The signal changes value of currentWindowIndex, but it didn't work because of slot, it doesn't change its value in time. Some one advices me to use QEventLoop, but i don't understand how to do this. Give me an example, please.
Another part of the code:
connect(area,SIGNAL(WindowAdded(QString)),this,SLOT(addWindowOnTab(QString)));
void WorkSpace::addWindowOnTab(QString title)
{
qint32 i = TabsList->addTab(title);/////!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
emit addedWindowIndex(i);
TabsList->setVisible(true);
}
connect(this,SIGNAL(addedWindowIndex(qint32)),area,SLOT(WindowIndexChanged(qint32)));
void MyMdiArea::WindowIndexChanged(qint32 index)
{
currentWindowIndex=index;
}
I think it can help.
MyMdArea is сlass inherited from QMdiArea, WorkSpace is a QWidget, TabsList is a QTabBar.
And there is another fact: I tried to understand execution sequence of slots and added some lines to code:
QLabel *n= new QLabel("1");
n->show();
after emiting WindowAdded signal
QLabel *n= new QLabel("2");
n->show();
after emiting addedWindowIndex signal
and
QLabel *n= new QLabel("3");
n->show();
after changing currentWindowIndex's value
and that is what i saw "1 2 3" and its exploded my brain. Maybe i don't understand something?
