    Default Processing multiple checkboxes

    Hello!

    I'm a student and currently am working at a small company as an intern. I have to control some LEDs through usage of Qt, and made an interface to be able to do so. The interface issue concerned contains four checkboxes, and a button. It's supposed to send bytes to the MOXA board after having pressed the Send Data button.

    My function checks whether the checkbox is enabled, and if so, send the bytes. However, it only seems to work when using one checkbox at a time. I want to be able to select all of them, so all four functions are processed, and thus, all four LEDs go on (or off).

    I've done this, but this doesn't seem to work (enabling multiple checkboxes at once, that is):

    Qt Code:
    1. void ETClient::on_pushSendData_clicked()
    2. {
    3. bool dio0 = this->ui->chkDIO0->isChecked();
    4. bool dio1 = this->ui->chkDIO1->isChecked();
    5. bool dio2 = this->ui->chkDIO2->isChecked();
    6. bool dio3 = this->ui->chkDIO3->isChecked();
    7.  
    8. if(dio0 == true) this->dio0_enabled();
    9. if(dio1 == true) this->dio1_enabled();
    10. if(dio2 == true) this->dio2_enabled();
    11. if(dio3 == true) this->dio3_enabled();
    12. else ;
    13. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Could you clarify this point? When you debug this with all checkboxes checked, what are your bool values?

    Hello,

    Thanks for the swift reply – sorry for not replying any sooner than I have right now.

    I've put breakpoints on the entire code that I've provided above.

    Oddly enough, the bool values (when it processes the first definition of isChecked() - line 3 as seen above) are:

    -dio0: 128
    -dio1: 188
    -dio2: 106
    -dio3: false

    When I continue to the next definition (line 4), the values are:

    -dio0: false
    -dio1: same
    -dio2: same
    -dio3: same

    Then: false, false, same same -> false, false, false, same -> false, false, false, false.

    Any suggestions? I can't seem to see why it does that.

    Here's the entire code of the file, in-case needed:

    Qt Code:
    1. #include "etclient.h"
    2. #include "ui_etclient.h"
    3. #include "about.h"

    You have never initialised the bools, so they contain whatever rubbish data is in the memory location allocated to them until you set them.

    That's correct, yes. I've not used the dioX_disabled() functions as of yet, as I want to make sure that dioX_enabled() works before doing so. I use another app (not made by me) to disable the LEDs in-case needed.

    I'm not quite sure what you mean. I want to be able to select or deselect them when connecting, without having set them to enabled – they need to be unchecked by default when starting the application/connecting.

    I've tried however, to do so as you suggested, but the same issue occurs: only one is being processed – so, for instance, it's not possible to select all four of them, and enable all LEDs. Only the first is being turned on (or the second, third, fourth; just as long as it's only one checkbox).
