(Callback API) and (Qt - SIGNAL/SLOT)

[pytro]

Is it possivel to derived Qt Project from a callback API and link it to:
connect(this, SIGNAL(callback_api_function), this, SLOT(processData_to_tablewidget));

I just want to get the event from the "callback_API" and data parameter, and providing it to a tablewidget.

Thanks in advance.

No, the signal has to be a Qt signal. You might register a callback from the callback api and there either call the slot directly or use a dummy QObject that will emit the signal for you.

class GuiApp : public QMainWindow, public GPListener( callback API-Class), public Thread
 
public:
void newPeer (const char *pszNodeUUID); // implemented on GPListener
...
private slots:
void processPeerUpdate(QString p);
...
};
 
inline void GuiApp::newPeer (const char *pszNodeUUID)
{   
   emit processPeerUpdate(pszNodeUUID);
}

class GuiApp : public QMainWindow, public GPListener( callback API-Class), public Thread

public:
void newPeer (const char *pszNodeUUID); // implemented on GPListener
...
private slots:
void processPeerUpdate(QString p);
...
};

inline void GuiApp::newPeer (const char *pszNodeUUID)
{   
   emit processPeerUpdate(pszNodeUUID);
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Gives me a run time Error when:

ui.tableWidget->setItem(0,0,pszNodeUUID);

ui.tableWidget->setItem(0,0,pszNodeUUID);

I can't understand the register process.. is it possible to explain it with more detail please.

What is the error?

[pytro]

It is on Release mode, i can't build Qt in Debug mode on Runtime.
The process is:

Image 1 - It reveals that the program is running with no problems; and is waiting for a newpeer.
Image 2 - On the moment i launch the other peer/program, this error ocorrs.
Image 3 - After the click on break button.

When i debug manually, it passes all functions but only when is going to post "pszNodeUUID" on the tablewidget, the error appears.

What is that Thread class? Aren't you accessing the GUI from a non-GUI thread?

[pytro]

hi, not using it @ll now, no problems with that.
Here is little history of my Qt work, working perfectly:
image 1 - main.
image 2 - connect(..).
image 3 - processOneThing invoked to update tablewidget.
image 4 - postEvent to invoke customEvent ( on image 5 ).
image 5 - tablewidget updated.

What is the value of pszNodeUUID (in hex)?

[pytro]

@jacek
Sorry, how do i do that(reading in hex) - the working application or the other?
@wysota
Ok i'll do that, sorry.

Just print it on the console using qDebug().

the working application or the other?

The non-working one.

[pytro]

Going to do that tomorrow morning.. thanks for the help!

Just print it on the console using qDebug().


The non-working one.

It is a Qt Application, not a console application.

inline void GuiApp::newPeer (const char *pszNodeUUID)
{     
       processPeerUpdate("0 3"); // no parameters passed i.e pszNodeUUID.. 
}

inline void GuiApp::newPeer (const char *pszNodeUUID)
{     
       processPeerUpdate("0 3"); // no parameters passed i.e pszNodeUUID.. 
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Same problem.. ocorrs.

image 1 - main.
image 2 - connect(..).
image 3 - processOneThing invoked to update tablewidget.
image 4 - postEvent to invoke customEvent ( on image 5 ).
image 5 - tablewidget updated.

Could you in future please post the code in textual form instead of placing external images? Images come and go whereas the text would remain here as others might face simmilar problems in future and would benefit from this thread. And besides, such images make the thread less readable. Thank you.
