I'm making an application which will be able to program my board. I would like to select file via file dialog and upload board with selected file by upload button. I have two class to it: MyFileDialog and CommandProcess. I connected upload button clicked signal to signal mapper and i mapped it to CommandProcess::startProcess slot, which executes process with path of selected file but the path is incorrect if I don't indicate it on start of program. How can I update mapping parameter after i choose file?
Part of main.cpp code:
QObject *uploadButton = mainForm->findChild<QObject*>("uploadButton");
QSignalMapper mapper;
ConsoleProcess proc;
MyFileDialog mfd;
QObject::connect(fileButton, SIGNAL(clicked()), &mfd, SLOT(openMyFileDialog()));
QObject::connect(uploadButton, SIGNAL(clicked()), &mapper, SLOT(map()));
mapper.setMapping(uploadButton, mfd.getFilename());
QObject::connect(&mapper, SIGNAL(mapped(const QString &)),&proc, SLOT(startProcess(const QString &)));
MyFileDialog class:
public:
MyFileDialog();
QString getFilename();
private:
QFileDialog fd;
public slots:
void openMyFileDialog();
QString MyFileDialog::getFilename() {
return fd.getOpenFileName();
}
ConsoleProcess class:
private:
QProcess p;
public:
ConsoleProcess();
public slots:
void startProcess(const QString &);
void ConsoleProcess::startProcess(const QString & path) {
p.setWorkingDirectory("C:/avrdude");
p.start("cmd.exe /C start avrdude.exe -c breakout -P ft0 -p m2560 -U flash:w:\"" + path + "\":a");
}
You can create 2 slots at your MainWindow
class and QString
member for storing path to file like this:
class MainWindow : public QMainWindow, private Ui::MainWindow
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
explicit MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0);
public slots:
void choseSlot();
void uploadSlot();
private:
QString m_file;
};
Create connections at your constructor class and initialize m_file
variable:
MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent), m_file(QString())
{
setupUi(this);
connect(choseFile, SIGNAL(clicked(bool)), this, SLOT(choseSlot()));
connect(uploadFile, SIGNAL(clicked(bool)), this, SLOT(uploadSlot()));
}
Then time to realize described slots. Let's get QFileDialog::getOpenFileName
static method result:
void MainWindow::choseSlot()
{
m_file = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this, tr("Open file"), QDir::currentPath(), tr("Some Files (*.a *.b *.c)"));
}
And if file already chosen at upload slot we can tranfer them or do whatever you want:
void MainWindow::uploadSlot()
{
if (!m_file.isEmpty()) {
qDebug() << Q_FUNC_INFO << m_file;
QProcess *prc = new QProcess;
connect(prc, SIGNAL(finished(int)), prc, SLOT(deleteLater()));
prc->setWorkingDirectory("C:/avrdude");
prc->start("cmd.exe /C start avrdude.exe -c breakout -P ft0 -p m2560 -U flash:w:\"" + m_file + "\":a");
}
}
