signal and slots problem

[zakachoka]

hi i have a mainwindow.ui that has one QLineEdit named nodes and also a pushButton...and i have a secwindow.ui with two QLineEdit named nodes1, nodes2

what i want to do is when a entering a certain number in nodes, let's say "1" so i would want to make nodes1 empty and nodes2 has a text as "Null".

my problem is where to put my if statment that include all three line edits?

mainwindow.h

....
public:
    SecWindow *secwindow;
 
signals:
    void nodes(const QString &text);  //my signal for nodes

....
public:
    SecWindow *secwindow;

signals:
    void nodes(const QString &text);  //my signal for nodes

mainwindow.cpp

void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
  secwindow = new SecWindow(this);
  connect(nodes,&QLineEdit::textChanged,secwindow,&SecWindow::nodes1); //a connect between nodes  
  QString number_of_nodes = ui->nodes->text();                                     //and nodes1
 
  if(number_of_nodes == "1"){                                                             // i cant put a condition 
}                                                                                                     // between  nodes and nodes1
 
  secwindow->show();

void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
  secwindow = new SecWindow(this);
  connect(nodes,&QLineEdit::textChanged,secwindow,&SecWindow::nodes1); //a connect between nodes  
  QString number_of_nodes = ui->nodes->text();                                     //and nodes1
   
  if(number_of_nodes == "1"){                                                             // i cant put a condition 
}                                                                                                     // between  nodes and nodes1
  
  secwindow->show();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

secwindow.h

......
public slots:
   void nodes1(const QString &text);
   void nodes2(const QString &text);
private slots:
    void on_pushButton_clicked();
 
    void on_nodes1_textChanged(const QString &arg1);

......
public slots:
   void nodes1(const QString &text);
   void nodes2(const QString &text);
private slots:
    void on_pushButton_clicked();

    void on_nodes1_textChanged(const QString &arg1);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

secwindow.cpp

void SecWindow::nodes1(const QString &text)     // still confused how or where to put the if statment
{
}

void SecWindow::nodes1(const QString &text)     // still confused how or where to put the if statment
{
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

so am not very clear where to add my if stament in mainwindow.cpp
or secwindow.cpp

please help me

You need somehow to tell the system that the input is done.
In your example, you say you want to enter '1'.
You need to do something that tells the code, your input is finished, and that you don't want to type another '1' - maybe your want to enter '11'.
So when you trigger that "end of input" event, you can connect a slot to it, and there put your logic.
