Set icon to custom QFontDialog - c++

I created my own font dialog from QFontDialog (new SLOT added). After that, I can't set icon (*.png) to my new font dialog (with func. setWindowIcon). If I use setWindowIcon to default QFontDialog - everything is OK. So, how to set icon to my new font dialog?
FontDialog.h
#include <QtGui>
#include <QtCore>
class FontDialog: public QFontDialog {
public:
FontDialog();
~FontDialog();
public slots:
void someSlot(void);
};
FontDialog.cpp
#include "FontDialog.h"
FontDialog::FontDialog() {
}
FontDialog::~FontDialog() {
}
void someSlot(void) {
}
main.cpp
#include "FontDialog.h"
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
QApplication app(argc, argv);
FontDialog *fontDialog = new FontDialog();
fontDialog->setWindowIcon(QIcon(".//icon.png")); // !!!NOT WORKING!!! for custom QFontDialog
fontDialog->show();
app.exec();
}
I'm using Qt 4.8.5 with Qt Designer 2.7.1 environment.
Thanks for any help.

The below works under Qt 4.8.4 on both OS X and Windows 7. It also works on 5.1.1 on Windows, but not on OS X :(
#include <QFontDialog>
#include <QApplication>
#include <QIcon>
#include <QPainter>
class Dialog : public QFontDialog {
public:
Dialog(QWidget *parent = 0) : QFontDialog(parent) {}
Dialog(const QFont & initial, QWidget *parent = 0) : QFontDialog(initial, parent) {}
};
QIcon myIcon(const QColor & color)
{
QIcon icon;
QPixmap pm(128, 128);
pm.fill(Qt::transparent);
QPainter p(&pm);
p.translate(64, 64);
p.scale(50, 50);
p.setBrush(color);
p.setPen(QPen(Qt::lightGray, 0.1));
p.drawEllipse(-1, -1, 2, 2);
icon.addPixmap(pm);
return icon;
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
a.setWindowIcon(myIcon(Qt::red));
Dialog d;
d.setWindowIcon(myIcon(Qt::blue));
d.show();
return a.exec();
}

Why cannot I see QGraphicsLineItem when added to QGraphicsScene in QGraphicsView?

I am trying to add QGraphicsLineItem to QGraphicsScene and display it in QGraphicsView. But when I compile and run the below code, it just shows white blank screen and I am not able to see any line on it. What do you think I am doing wrong?
#include <QApplication>
#include <QGraphicsView>
#include <QGraphicsLineItem>
class MyGraphicsView : public QGraphicsView
{
public:
MyGraphicsView() {
_scene = new QGraphicsScene(0,0,1024,800);
setScene(_scene);
}
virtual void paintEvent(QPaintEvent * e)
{
QGraphicsLineItem *line = new QGraphicsLineItem(100.0,100.0,500.0,500.0);
line->setPen(QPen(Qt::black, 3, Qt::SolidLine));
line->setFlag( QGraphicsItem::ItemIsMovable );
_scene->addItem(line);
}
private:
QGraphicsScene* _scene;
};
int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);
MyGraphicsView cw;
cw.show();
return app.exec();
}

How to get the icon for a file type on MacOS?

On Linux I can use this pipeline QMimeDatabase::mimeTypeForFile > QMimeType::iconName > QIcon::fromTheme to get icons for files. Afaik the latter works on Linux only.
How can I get icons for mimetype on macOS? Do I have to use icon(for:) and create the pixmap on my own, or are there better ways?
Solution
To get the icon for a file use QFileIconProvider::icon with QFileInfo like that:
QIcon fileIcon = QFileIconProvider().icon(QFileInfo(fileName));
Example
Here is a simple example I wrote for you to demonstrate the proposed solution:
#include <QApplication>
#include <QFileIconProvider>
#include <QFileDialog>
#include <QFileInfo>
#include <QBoxLayout>
#include <QPushButton>
class Widget : public QWidget
{
public:
Widget(QWidget *parent = nullptr) : QWidget(parent) {
auto *l = new QVBoxLayout(this);
auto *btnOpen = new QPushButton(tr("Open File"), this);
btnOpen->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Expanding, QSizePolicy::Expanding);
l->addWidget(btnOpen);
connect(btnOpen, &QPushButton::clicked, this, &Widget::onFileOpen);
resize(300, 300);
}
private slots:
void onFileOpen() {
const QString &fileName(QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this, tr("Open File")));
if (fileName.isEmpty())
return;
auto *btnOpen = static_cast<QPushButton *>(sender());
btnOpen->setIcon(QFileIconProvider().icon(QFileInfo(fileName)));
}
};
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
Widget w;
w.show();
return a.exec();
}

QPushButton in a sub-QMenu, change background on hover

EDIT:
NOTE this only occurs when the button is in a SUBMENU. (Menu in a menu.) This code works fine only on the parent menu!
Running Qt 5.0.2, on Windows 7. I have a QMenu with a QWidgetAction in it. Inside the QWidgetAction is a QPushButton. I would like to change the background color of the button when the mouse hovers over it.
Here is my code:
#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"
#include <QDebug>
#include <QMenu>
#include <QWidgetAction>
MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
ui->setupUi(this);
}
MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
delete ui;
}
void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
QMenu menu;
QMenu *subMenu = new QMenu("SubMenu text");
QWidgetAction *widgetAction = new QWidgetAction(subMenu);
QPushButton *btn = new QPushButton("test");
btn->setStyleSheet("QPushButton:hover{background-color: #ff0000;}");
widgetAction->setDefaultWidget(btn);
subMenu->addAction(widgetAction);
menu.addMenu(subMenu);
menu.exec();
}
.h
#ifndef MAINWINDOW_H
#define MAINWINDOW_H
#include <QMainWindow>
namespace Ui {
class MainWindow;
}
class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
explicit MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0);
~MainWindow();
private slots:
void on_pushButton_clicked();
private:
Ui::MainWindow *ui;
};
#endif // MAINWINDOW_H
main.cpp
#include "mainwindow.h"
#include <QApplication>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
MainWindow w;
w.show();
return a.exec();
}
However when the cursor hovers over the QPushButton the background color doesn't change. Doesn't matter if I run it in fusion style or not.
What is going on here? Thanks for your time.
This sound like mouseTracking is not enabled on the widget (and/or probably on the parent widget(s)). You can enable it by calling
QWidget::setMouseTracking(bool enable);
Background may not be customized, if you don't change a border style of a button.
How to solve: use some non-default style, for example:
const auto fusion = QStyleFactory::create( "Fusion" );
QApplication::setStyle( fusion );
QPushButton is not designed for perfect handling hover events. For example, hover event will not change a font via stylesheet.
How to solve: use QToolButton instead.
P.S. Don't know, why it's not worked for you. Everything is OK for me...
UPDATE
Just copy-paste it and run:
#include <QApplication>
#include <QWidgetAction>
#include <QMenu>
#include <QPushButton>
#include <QToolButton>
#include <QStyleFactory>
void showMenu()
{
const auto parent = qApp->activeWindow();
auto menu = new QMenu( parent );
auto root = new QMenu( "Root", menu );
menu->addMenu( root );
auto wa = new QWidgetAction( parent );
auto tb = new QToolButton;
tb->setText( "ToolBtn" );
wa->setDefaultWidget( tb );
root->addAction( wa );
menu->exec( QCursor::pos() );
menu->deleteLater();
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a( argc, argv );
const auto fusion = QStyleFactory::create( "Fusion" );
const auto qss =
"QToolButton:!hover{background-color: #00ff00;}"
"QToolButton:hover{background-color: #ff0000;}"
;
QApplication::setStyle( fusion );
qApp->setStyleSheet( qss );
QWidget w;
w.resize( 800, 600 );
auto btn = new QPushButton{ "Test", &w };
QObject::connect( btn, &QPushButton::clicked, &showMenu );
w.show();
return a.exec();
}

Qt signals/slots do not work [very basic] [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
C++ Qt signal and slot not firing
(3 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I am very new to Qt and it looks like i have some very basic misunderstanding about how this library works. I am currently reading a book by m. Schlee but i do not want to continue until i do understand how to make this simple program work.
#include <QtWidgets>
#include <QApplication>
#include <QStackedWidget>
#include <QPushButton>
#include <QObject>
struct wizard : public QObject
{
QStackedWidget* p;
wizard(QStackedWidget* pp) : p(pp) { }
public slots:
void change()
{
int to = p->currentIndex();
if (to == p->count() - 1)
to = 0;
else
++to;
emit chIndex(to);
}
signals:
void chIndex(int);
};
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
QStackedWidget qsw;
QPushButton qpb("magic");
qsw.resize(500, 500);
qsw.move(500, 300);
qsw.setWindowTitle("test qsw");
qpb.move(330, 300);
qpb.setWindowTitle("test qpb");
QWidget* pw1 = new QWidget();
QPalette pal1;
pal1.setColor(pw1->backgroundRole(), Qt::blue);
pw1->setPalette(pal1);
pw1->resize(500, 500);
pw1->setAutoFillBackground(true);
QWidget* pw2 = new QWidget();
QPalette pal2;
pal2.setColor(pw2->backgroundRole(), Qt::yellow);
pw2->setPalette(pal2);
pw2->resize(500, 500);
pw2->setAutoFillBackground(true);
qsw.addWidget(pw1);
qsw.addWidget(pw2);
wizard stupidity(&qsw);
QObject::connect(&qpb, SIGNAL(clicked()), &stupidity, SLOT(change()));
QObject::connect(&stupidity, SIGNAL(chIndex(int)), &qsw, SLOT(setCurrentIndex(int)));
qpb.show();
qsw.show();
return a.exec();
}
The idea is to launch 2 separate windows: one with painted background, and another with button that changes color (blue->yellow->blue->.. etc).
They appear, but nothing happens if i press the button. Please help.
Except for struct being a class and a missing Q_OBJECT macro the code is fine
Try the following:
create a main.h file having this content:
#ifndef MAIN_H
#define MAIN_H
#include <QObject>
#include <QStackedWidget>
class wizard : public QObject
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
QStackedWidget* p;
wizard(QStackedWidget* pp) : p(pp) { }
public slots:
void change()
{
int to = p->currentIndex();
if (to == p->count() - 1)
to = 0;
else
++to;
emit chIndex(to);
}
signals:
void chIndex(int);
};
#endif // MAIN_H
change your main.cpp to the following content:
#include <QtWidgets>
#include <QApplication>
#include <QPushButton>
#include <main.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
QStackedWidget qsw;
QPushButton qpb("magic");
qsw.resize(500, 500);
qsw.move(500, 300);
qsw.setWindowTitle("test qsw");
qpb.move(330, 300);
qpb.setWindowTitle("test qpb");
QWidget* pw1 = new QWidget();
QPalette pal1;
pal1.setColor(pw1->backgroundRole(), Qt::blue);
pw1->setPalette(pal1);
pw1->resize(500, 500);
pw1->setAutoFillBackground(true);
QWidget* pw2 = new QWidget();
QPalette pal2;
pal2.setColor(pw2->backgroundRole(), Qt::yellow);
pw2->setPalette(pal2);
pw2->resize(500, 500);
pw2->setAutoFillBackground(true);
qsw.addWidget(pw1);
qsw.addWidget(pw2);
wizard stupidity(&qsw);
QObject::connect(&qpb, SIGNAL(clicked()), &stupidity, SLOT(change()));
QObject::connect(&stupidity, SIGNAL(chIndex(int)), &qsw, SLOT(setCurrentIndex(int)));
qpb.show();
qsw.show();
return a.exec();
}
qmake doesn't work very well with Q_OBJECT macro directly in cpp file. Btw. run qmake after changes applied.

QWidget::heightForWidth() is not called

I want to make my widget always have square size. Following this answer, I have overridden QWidget::heightForWidth(), and I also call setHeightForWidth(true) in the constructor, as suggested by #peppe. The size policy is set to Preferred,Preferred (for both horizontal size and vertical size).
However, heightForWidth() is not being called. Is there anything I am doing wrong?
This is the declaration of heightForWidth() in my Widget class:
virtual int heightForWidth(int) const;
This happens on Linux and Windows.
Your widget needs to be in a layout. The below works on both Qt 4 and 5.
In Qt 4, it will only force the toplevel window's minimum size if it's in a layout.
In Qt 5, it doesn't force the toplevel window size. There may be a flag for that or it's a bug but I don't recall at the moment.
#include <QApplication>
#include <QWidget>
#include <QPainter>
#include <QDebug>
#include <QVBoxLayout>
#include <QFrame>
class Widget : public QWidget {
mutable int m_ctr;
public:
Widget(QWidget *parent = 0) : QWidget(parent), m_ctr(0) {
QSizePolicy p(sizePolicy());
p.setHeightForWidth(true);
setSizePolicy(p);
}
int heightForWidth(int width) const {
m_ctr ++;
QApplication::postEvent(const_cast<Widget*>(this), new QEvent(QEvent::UpdateRequest));
return qMax(width*2, 100);
}
QSize sizeHint() const {
return QSize(300, heightForWidth(300));
}
void paintEvent(QPaintEvent *) {
QPainter p(this);
p.drawRect(rect().adjusted(0, 0, -1, -1));
p.drawText(rect(), QString("h4w called %1 times").arg(m_ctr));
}
};
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
QWidget w;
QVBoxLayout * l = new QVBoxLayout(&w);
l->addWidget(new Widget);
QFrame * btm = new QFrame;
btm->setFrameShape(QFrame::Panel);
btm->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Expanding, QSizePolicy::Expanding);
l->addWidget(btm);
w.show();
return a.exec();
}
To stay square if the widget is in a layout you must reimplement
bool hasHeightForWidth() const{ return true; }
int heightForWidth(int w) const { return w; }
functions of the layout class.
