I am trying to develop an application with QT C++. I added a checkBox. How can I make my checkBox be in the last selection when I close my app and open it again. For example, if the checkbox was selected before the application was closed, I want it to be selected when the application runs again. If it wasn't selected before closing, it should come back unselected when it runs again. How can I do that?
Read the value of the checkbox when your app shuts down. Save the value somewhere, like; QSettings, a custom file, windows registry, etc. When your application starts, read the stored value and set the checkbox state to match.

My problem is......... I am trying to develop an application.In this application there are certain pages and which is displaying on the LCD on my board.and my board has a gpio button by default the value of this button is high when i press this button value of this button become low after releasing again high.i want to make my app interrupt based when i pressed hold button for 3 second display should be rotate and if i just press and release button page should change.In my app i have interface my gpio button.
QString btnInput = "/sys/class/gpio/gpioN/value";
In my apps I can read the value from value file when my app start after that if i press button nothing will happen.what should i do.
how can i generate interrupt after pressing button.
please help me i am new in qt I start qt just before 2 week.
I can't tell for a Qt5 application actually (I don't have experience in the Qt field), but you may use a inotify file watcher with /sys/class/gpio/gpioN/value in user space.
That way your program will receive notifications (interrupts) whenever the value changes.
I'm almost sure there's also some (portable) Qt intrinsic mechanism, that resembles the same.
Update (after a little research):
Specifically for Qt I found this answer where the QFileSystemWatcher is mentioned for doing that portably.
I am very new to C++ programming and the bulk of my program will be using the QT libraries. However, there is one part where I believe I will need to use Win32.
The scenario I want to code for is as follows:
I will have a QT application running. I want to be able to take some text which has been typed into a TextBox on the QT Window and paste that text into a TextBox in another application e.g. the address bar of Chrome, the address bar of Windows Explorer.
I want to be able to do that as a response to a button click on the QT Window. So, it would all happen in 3 steps. For example:
User types text into QT Window;
User places cursor in address bar of Chrome (Browser);
User clicks button on Window which pastes text into address bar of Chrome.
A nudge in the right direction would be most appreciated.
Edit - Additional Info
The application I’m building is a self-set assignment. I want to build a clipboard manager, similar to this old Delphi application http://www.joejoesoft.com/vcms/97/ . It will run in the system tray, in a minimised state.
The user, will put their focus into a text input in some application
which is running on their Windows machine e.g. Notepad.
Then, they will hit a hot key combination which will open a form (my QT Window.
The application will have been collecting clips as the user presses Ctrl-C (or by right-clicking) and those will be listed in that QT Form (just like the app in the link above).
The user then clicks on the particular item that they want paste and it will be pasted into the original input that they had put the cursor into.
Further Edit - further info
I'll break step 4 into a couple of sub-steps as it is causing confusion:
The user then clicks on the particular item that they want paste
Focus changes from QT Window back to the window of the other Win32 application which originally had focus
Content is pasted into the input control which now has the focus
I pretty much know how I can gather up items when the user copies things. But I have no idea how I will paste from my application to the target application.

I made this tool in Qt Creator where i have to enter some data in spin boxes and combo boxes. Each of these boxes have a default value when I open my tool. But I would like to implement a function to save the session of the application, i.e. if i modify some values in the boxes i can save them and when I open my application again my modifications are there. And also when I am done with that data I can restore the defaults.
Any idea as to how to do this?
Use QSettings , it's usage is explained in the page

I am developing an iOS app in Appcelerator. I am retrieving tweets from twitter and inserting them into a table. For each row/tweet I am also extracting the containing links for that individual tweet/row and the user can select them from an options dialog which is opened when the row is clicked.
The problem is that if I reload the page and click the row, two dialogs are open upon each other. If I click three times, three dialogs is opened and so on. How can I make sure that the dialog only opens once?
This is my code: http://pastie.org/2004091
Thankful for all help!
I had a similar problem. Especially on the iPhone 3G as this runs slowly and you're more tempted to tap things more than once. The way I got around it is to either remove the event listener from within the event listener itself. Or you set a variable and test for its value in the event listener. So, if you set a variable call 'clicked' to false. When the listener is first check for 'clicked' = false, if it is set it to true so next time the code is not executed.
I have a simple console application written in C++ that acts as a stub for launching another application through it's jumplist. Purpose is to add jumplist abilities to applications that do not support this. Call it stub.exe. When running stub.exe it creates a custom jumplist using these steps (taken right form the MS samples):
create an ICustomDestinationList
ICustomDestinationList::BeginList()
create an IObjectCollection
for_each item_to_add
create an IShellLink, set its path/arguments/title/icon
add IShellLink to the IObjectCollection
get the IObjectArray interface from the IObjectCollection
call ICustomDestinationList::AddUserTasks( IObjectArray interface )
ICustomDestinationList::CommitList()
When pinning stub.exe to the taskbar and right-clicking it, the jumpilst appears and it contains all IShellLinks added. When clicking an item, it will launch the corresponding process.
Now I'd like a process launched through this jumplist have it's window(s) grouped under stub.exe's taskbar icon, instead of having it's own group. They key to get this working seems to be the AppUsermodelID. This is what I tried so far:
just for testing, create a couple of shortcuts and set the id through IPropertyStore->SetValue( PKEY_AppUserModel_ID, "id" ). Indeed, when launching these shortcuts, they will all group under the same taskbar icon.
since the shortcuts do what I want, I tried adding shortcuts to stub.exe's jumplist: no effect. The shortcuts don't even show up in the jumplist (maybe one cannot have a shortcut to a shortcut?), yet all methods return S_OK
setting the PKEY_AppUserModel_ID on each of the IShellLinks that get added to the jumplist: no effect
calling ICustomDestinationList->SetAppID(): no effect
instead of using SubTasks, tried with SHAddToRecentDocs: no effect. The recent doc list does not show up. But now things get messy. After setting the AppUserModelID on the shortcut that is responsible for the pinned taskbar item (the one in %APPDATA%/Roaming/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/Quick Launch/User Pinned/TaskBar), the jumplist changed: it does not show the 'Tasks' item anymore, but does show 'Recent' and the items I added using SHAddToRecentDocs. Now when clicking them I get a dialog box with a title that starts with 'd:\desktop' followed by Chinese characters. Hovering the items in the jumplist also shows Chinese characters instead of the descirption I set.
Questions:
What's with the Chinese characters in the jumplist?
How come setting the app id on the taskbar shortcut toggles between 'Tasks' and 'Recent' sections, why are they not both there?
What would be the way, if even possible, to achive what I actually want: a custom jump list of which the items launched will group under it's taskbar icon? (note that the processes I plan to laucnh their do not have their app id set currently)
not much reactions here ;]
In the meantime I managed to solve the main problem myself; it's not quite a straightforward solution but it fullfills the requirements: a program runs in the backround and installs a CBT hook. Each time an application creates a window (HookProc code = HCBT_CREATEWND), the hook checks the application's path against a map containing paths and desired application ids. If a match is found, the application id of the HWND is set. Since this occurs before the window is actually shown and is combined with the custom task list, from a user's point of view the application behaves just like one that does support a recent/pinned document list.
