Signal and slot wrong value sending(Qt c++) - c++

Question

I have written a small program to send data from one form(MainWindow) to another(Dialog) upon a button click. When the button is clicked the value written in the lineEdit of MainWindow is to be displayed on a label in Dialog form!
When I click the button a value is displayed on the label but it is not the same as the value entered in the line edit!
following are the respective codes in the 2 header and 2 cpp files!
MainWindow.h
class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
{
Q_OBJECT
signals:
void sendIntData(int data);
public:
explicit MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0);
~MainWindow();
}
MainWIndow.cpp
void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
Dialog *dialog1=new Dialog(this);
dialog1->setModal(true);
dialog1->exec();
int o=ui->lineEdit->text().toInt();
connect(this, SIGNAL(sendIntData(int)),dialog1, SLOT(setIntData(int)));
emit sendIntData(o);
}
Dialog.h
class Dialog : public QDialog
{
Q_OBJECT
public slots:
void setIntData(int data);
public:
explicit Dialog(QWidget *parent = 0);
~Dialog();
}
Dialog.cpp
Dialog::Dialog(QWidget *parent) :
QDialog(parent),
ui(new Ui::DIalog)
{
ui->setupUi(this);
QString value=QString::number(index);
ui->label->setText(value);
}
Dialog::~Dialog()
{
delete ui;
}
void Dialog::setIntData(int data)
{
index=data;
}
eg-When I click 3 and press the button I get a value 7237481! How can I correct this?

Answer 1

Replace connect and emit in on_pushButton_clicked()
void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
Dialog *dialog1=new Dialog(this);
dialog1->setModal(true);
dialog1->exec();
int o=ui->lineEdit->text().toInt();
connect(this, SIGNAL(sendIntData(int)),dialog1, SLOT(setIntData(int)));
emit sendIntData(o);
}

If only once we convey our dialogue, the importance of signal and slot is not necessary.
It is possible to give this value to the constructor or to do the initialize function and to give it the values.
//way 1:
void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked(){
Dialog *dlg = new Dialog();
connect(this, SIGNAL(SendData(int)), dlg, SLOT(slotData(int)));
emit SendData(ui->lineEdit->text().toInt());
dlg->exec();
}
void Dialog::slotData(int arg1)
{
ui->label->setText(QString::number(arg1));
}
//way 2:
void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked(){
Dialog* dlg = new Dialog(ui->lineEdit->text().toInt());
dlg->exec();
}
//way 3:
#include "dialog.h"
#include "ui_dialog.h"
#include "QDebug"
Dialog::Dialog(QWidget *parent) :
QDialog(parent),
ui(new Ui::Dialog)
{
ui->setupUi(this);
}
Dialog::~Dialog()
{
delete ui;
}
void Dialog::initialize(int value)
{
ui->label->setText(QString::number(value));
}
void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked(){
Dialog *dlg = new Dialog();
dlg->initialize(ui->lineEdit->text().toInt());
dlg->exec();
}

I think you are showing int value which not initialized.
emit signal:
int o=ui->lineEdit->text().toInt();
connect(this, SIGNAL(sendIntData(int)),dialog1, SLOT(setIntData(int)));
emit sendIntData(o);
Show value:
void Dialog::setIntData(int data)
{
ui->label->setText(QString::number(data));
}
