Apart from global array of buttons the code looks correct.

**karankumar1609** · 3rd June 2013, 11:26

Your code seems good but try to create a separate QPushButton Object and then add it to your array.
Look below code

Qt Code:

Switch view

QPushButton* button = new QPushButton(this);
btn[j] = button;
...
...
sendSignalMapper->setMapping(button, j);
connect(button, SIGNAL(clicked()), sendSignalMapper, SLOT(map()), Qt::uniqueConnection);

QPushButton* button = new QPushButton(this);
btn[j] = button;
...
...
sendSignalMapper->setMapping(button, j);
connect(button, SIGNAL(clicked()), sendSignalMapper, SLOT(map()), Qt::uniqueConnection);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Try to write your code with list of pointers instead of array.
Don't use global variable make it member of class.

CHEERS

QButtonGroup

less methods to call, no need for an array just to address buttons per index later on.

thanks for replies mates

it solved itself and now works fine

I wish my code would do that. WHAT IS YOUR SECRET!?

Maybe he wrote a program that modifies its own source code, rebuilds itself and re-executes.
