Brainstorm

@mzimmers said in avoiding the use of hard-coded strings:

The goal would be to have no hard-coded strings in my code; they'd all reside in some file that could be altered by a technical writer or someone else.

That's what translation files are made for...

@AnneRanch said in How to track debug process?:

should this top level window be a main application object or be as another child mdiArea subwindow?

With the context provided, it is not possible to answer this question, or even brainstorm about it.
It's unclear, how this question relates to the headline of your post.

@GrecKo yeah, this is a weird use case. I actually do want a list, just not a list in the Qt model/view/delegate sense. Ideally, I'd like to create a list (array/vector/whatever) of the properties I want to display, and pass it into a universal component for display, but creating and using that structure seems to be a bit out of reach for JS/QML/me. It's OK; this approach is working, if a bit inelegant.

@UlyssesZhan it's hard to say for sure, but I'd speculate that the Qt apps you mention set their own cursor properties rather than use the default settings in in gnome (or gnome-tweaks).

Do you have the source code for these Qt apps?

@Sarreq-Teryx as an aside.

KDE is still on Qt5 and are slowly moving over to Qt6 today. The various features your mockup requires are only available in the latest Qt6, so you're probably asking a bit early. Like asking about pretty wallpaper while the foundation is just drying.

@J-Hilk I'm familiar with the marketplace app CircularSlider, and actually do use it for a different purpose in my app. It's a great product, but it's somewhat limited in its customization potential, so I don't think that adding a 2nd handle is a trivial undertaking.

I've experimented with overlaying 2 CircularSliders, but the issue there is how to give control to both handles.

@Mesrine I'll take another look at the customization options, though I don't know how the handles will track movement along a curved background. And, I may eventually take you up on your offer, though for now I'd like to continue exploring all options for this.

Just to close this topic out, here's what I ended up doing (posted elsewhere as well):

// will need one of these for each subclass void EquipmentModel::sendPatchRequest(const Vsp &equipment) { sendBaseRequest(equipment); } void EquipmentModel::sendBaseRequest(const Equipment &equipment) { ... // the line below will call the override function // for the appropriate subclass. equipment.addPatchFields(listEntry, qjo, rolesToKeys);

Not super elegant, but it works. Thanks to all for the suggestions.

Just to close this out, I'm pursuing the subclass approach to this. Thanks for the suggestions.

So I simply needed handle one more signal:

QObject::connect(reply, &QNetworkReply::errorOccurred, &loop, &QEventLoop::quit);

@jsulm

Hi,

I have update the project - ".pro" file and it working and building the project and I am adding the dependence for all the connect project files.

Thanks

Fixed it -- I added a bool to my parent property to tell me whether this button belongs to to the start or end panel, and I check that bool in my callback.

Button { id: action buttonText: actionButtonLabel onClicked: { stackView.clear() stackView.push( actionComponent, { "listModel": scheduleActionPanel.actionModel, "listIndex": isStartPanel ? newSchedule.startAction : newSchedule.endAction, "buttonGroup": startStopGroup, "titleText": scheduleActionPanel.actionTitle, "callback": ((i) => { if (isStartPanel) { newSchedule.startAction = i } else { newSchedule.endAction = i } } ) } ) } }

If necessary, the bool could be replaced by an int, and the callback logic made more elaborate.

Hi @Bradyok, and welcome!

Yes, it's a bug in Qt Creator 11.0.2: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-29506 It will be fixed in v11.0.3.

In the meantime, you can install and use v11.0.1: https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qtcreator/11.0/11.0.1/ or use @S_M_R's workaround

@Pete-Carter Interesting. Qt was started in 1991.

@SimonSchroeder Thanks so much for the suggestions everyone, I truly value the input from others that are most definitely more talented than myself.

@Podugu You should also check Linux logs (dmesg for example). It really looks like your desktop session is terminated for some reason (I guess something is crashing).
What graphics hardware and driver do you use?
