I'm new to coding with QTCreator, and Linux Graphical Development in general. What is the, probably trivial, thing I am doing wrong here?
I could write this code and make it work easily without using the form method, but I'd really prefer to use the graphical interface, as it should be faster (once I know what compiler wants me to do).
When I enter this code it tells me that btnStopGo isn't defined in this context. I used the forms interface to drop the button onto a form.
The code is in the file mainwindow.cpp
#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"
MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent)
: QMainWindow(parent)
, ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
ui->setupUi(this);
}
...
void MainWindow::on_btnStopGo_clicked()
{
if (bDoStream){
if (bStreaming){
//TODO: Send stop stream signal, save stream to file, dispose stream
bStreaming = false;
btnStopGo->setText("Go");
}
else{
btnStopGo->setText("Stop");
bStreaming = true;
// TODO: request a stream of quotes
}
}
else {
// TODO: Get a single quote tick
}
}
mainwindow.h
#ifndef MAINWINDOW_H
#define MAINWINDOW_H
#include <QMainWindow>
QT_BEGIN_NAMESPACE
namespace Ui { class MainWindow; }
QT_END_NAMESPACE
class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
{
Q_OBJECT;
public:
MainWindow(QWidget *parent = nullptr);
~MainWindow();
...
private slots:
...
void on_btnSelect_clicked();
void on_btnStopGo_clicked();
private:
Ui::MainWindow *ui;
};
#endif // MAINWINDOW_H
Other visible files in the project are : Hello2.pro, main.cpp, and mainwindow.ui. main.cpp declares mywindow as the variable to access the main window. I've tried using "ui.btnStopGo", mywindow.btnStopGo, ui->btnStopGo (blows up the compiler), and every other combo I can think of. None of them work so far.
I don't know if this is relevant but I'm using: Qt Creator 4.11.0 Based on Qt 5.12.8 (GCC 9.3.0, 64 bit) on a Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon with KDE added manually.
