    Default QSpinBox : display values from a QVector

    Hi,

    I'd like to have a QSpinBox to display value from a QVector only. At first I thought that a new slot and signal in my widget would do the trick, using valueChanged(int) signal and setValue(int) slot from QSpinBox, but I enter an infinite loop since setValue emit valueChanged...
    I heard that subclassing QAbstractSpinBox might work, but I really don't know how, nor which signals/slots to reimplement.
    Any idea ? Maybe a better solution than subclassing ?

    Thanks !!

    If it's only for the emit, have a look at QObject::blockSignals().

    Default Re: QSpinBox : display values from a QVector

    Here is an example assuming the QVector is non-empty.
    Qt Code:
    1. class SpinBox : public QSpinBox
    2. {
    3. Q_OBJECT
    4. public:
    5. explicit SpinBox(const QVector<int> & values, QWidget * parent = 0)
    6. : QSpinBox(parent)
    7. , mValues(values)
    8. , mIndex(0)
    9. {
    10. qSort(mValues);
    11. setMinimum(mValues.at(0));
    12. setMaximum(mValues.at(mValues.size() - 1));
    13. setValue(mValues.at(0));
    14. }
    15.  
    16. protected:
    17. void stepBy(int steps) // re-implementaion
    18. {
    19. mIndex += steps;
    20. mIndex = qBound(0, mIndex, mValues.size() - 1);
    21. setValue(mValues.at(mIndex));
    22. }
    23.  
    24. private:
    25. QVector<int> mValues;
    26. int mIndex;
    27. };
    28.  
    29. int main(int argc, char ** argv)
    30. {
    31. QApplication app(argc, argv);
    32.  
    33. QVector<int> values = QVector<int>() << 100 << 20 << 25 << 36 << 42 << 56 << 98 << 105;
    34.  
    35. SpinBox spinbox(values);
    36. spinbox.show();
    37.  
    38. return app.exec();
    39. }

    Did you explore using a QComboBox instead?

    I use the same QSpinBox in two different contexts, one where it should work as usual, and another where I need to display only particular values. Thank you Santosh !
