Re: Progress Bar On status Bar Help (Solved)

[ShapeShiftme]

Good Day All.

Im trying to add a progress bar to my status bar for my webview

i emit signals on loadfinished and load started which call the following functions

to create the progress bar :

//Insert progress bar on status bar
    QProgressBar *progressBar = new QProgressBar(NULL);
    progressBar->setMaximumHeight(16);
    progressBar->setMaximumWidth(200);
    progressBar->setTextVisible(false);
    this->statusBar()->addWidget(progressBar, 0);
    this->statusBar()->showMessage(QString("Loading"));
 
    progressBar->setValue(0);
    progressBar->setMinimum(0);
    progressBar->setMaximum(0);

//Insert progress bar on status bar
    QProgressBar *progressBar = new QProgressBar(NULL);
    progressBar->setMaximumHeight(16);
    progressBar->setMaximumWidth(200);
    progressBar->setTextVisible(false);
    this->statusBar()->addWidget(progressBar, 0);
    this->statusBar()->showMessage(QString("Loading"));

    progressBar->setValue(0);
    progressBar->setMinimum(0);
    progressBar->setMaximum(0);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Now When i view webpages i keep getting more prograssbars added so im gathering i need to remove the progress bar. but i dont know how to do that

this->statusBar()->clearMessage();
    this->statusBar()->removeWidget();

this->statusBar()->clearMessage();
    this->statusBar()->removeWidget();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

This functions are run on the mainform as i have a mdiarea. so the signal is passed to the main form from the subwindow onloadstart and load finished event.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Added after 37 minutes:

Ok my bad. figured it out. i had to declare the progress bar in the header file
like so

mainwindow.h

private:
    Ui::MainWindow *ui;
    QProgressBar *progressBar;

private:
    Ui::MainWindow *ui;
    QProgressBar *progressBar;

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Then i had to change the above slots to :

progressBar = new QProgressBar;
    progressBar->setMaximumHeight(16);
    progressBar->setMaximumWidth(200);
    progressBar->setTextVisible(false);
    this->statusBar()->addPermanentWidget(progressBar, 0);
    this->statusBar()->showMessage(QString("Loading"));
 
    //((QMainWindow*)parent())->statusBar()->addPermanentWidget(progressBar, 0);
    //((QMainWindow*)parent())->statusBar()->showMessage(QString("Loading"));
    progressBar->setValue(0);
    progressBar->setMinimum(0);
    progressBar->setMaximum(0);

progressBar = new QProgressBar;
    progressBar->setMaximumHeight(16);
    progressBar->setMaximumWidth(200);
    progressBar->setTextVisible(false);
    this->statusBar()->addPermanentWidget(progressBar, 0);
    this->statusBar()->showMessage(QString("Loading"));

    //((QMainWindow*)parent())->statusBar()->addPermanentWidget(progressBar, 0);
    //((QMainWindow*)parent())->statusBar()->showMessage(QString("Loading"));
    progressBar->setValue(0);
    progressBar->setMinimum(0);
    progressBar->setMaximum(0);

And

this->statusBar()->clearMessage();
    this->statusBar()->removeWidget(progressBar);

this->statusBar()->clearMessage();
    this->statusBar()->removeWidget(progressBar);
