    Default Dynamic object's method.

    Hi, I wrote code to generating simple form:
    Qt Code:
    1. QDialog *dialogWindow = new QDialog(this);
    2. dialogWindow->setWindowTitle("Adding text");
    3. dialogWindow->setFixedSize(350, 200);
    4. QGridLayout *layout = new QGridLayout(dialogWindow);
    5. QPlainTextEdit *text = new QPlainTextEdit();
    6. QDialogButtonBox *buttonBox = new QDialogButtonBox(dialogWindow);
    7. buttonBox->addButton(QDialogButtonBox::Ok);
    8. buttonBox->addButton(QDialogButtonBox::Cancel);
    9. layout->addWidget(text);
    10. layout->addWidget(buttonBox);
    11. dialogWindow->setLayout(layout);
    12. dialogWindow->connect(buttonBox, SIGNAL(accepted()), dialogWindow, SLOT(accept()));
    13. dialogWindow->connect(buttonBox, SIGNAL(rejected()), dialogWindow, SLOT(reject()));
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    But, I didn't know how to write method onTextChanged to QPlainTextEdit object? Any ideas?

    Sure, connect the QPlainTextEdit's textChanged() signal to a custom slot where you put your code. You should learn basics about signals and slots and widget applications first.

    Yes, but I would like to do if QPlainTextEdit->toPlainText() return empty string, ok button is disabled else it is enabled. I can use signals and slots, but I didn't know how do that in this case.

    In the slot connected to textChanged() that I mentioned in my previous post, call toPlainText().isEmpty() on your QPlainTextEdit to know whether its text is empty, then setEnabled() on the button as needed.

    But to do that I need an additional method and two pointers to QPlainTextEdit and QPushButton, because I create a QDialog in the method of the main form, right? Otherwise can not be?

    Indeed.

    In any case, creating a form that way is not very common, best practise is to create a subclass of, in this case QDialog, and encapsulate all its internals into that class.

    That way the user of the dialog/form only deals with the class' public API, independent on how it is actually implemented internally.

    Cheers,
