QWizard - back button missing


I have a QWizard, which branches in a following way:

           ----- Page1 -----
         /                   \
StartPage  - Page2 - Page3 -  EndPage
         \                   /
           ----- Page4 -----

The problem is, the the end page only shows "back" button, when it's reached via StartPage -> page4 -> EndPage. Otherwise it only shows "finish" and "cancel". Does anyone have similar experiences, what could cause this? Here's how it's set up:

QWizard wizard;
wizard.setPage(0, new StartPage(&wizard));
wizard.setPage(1, new Page1(&wizard));
wizard.setPage(2, new Page2(&wizard));
wizard.setPage(3, new Page3(&wizard));
wizard.setPage(4, new Page4(&wizard));
wizard.setPage(5, new EndPage(&wizard));

For the pages, nextId() is reimplemented to return correct id. I'm confused why it works differently via different paths.


Solution

  • Nobody can know what is wrong because you do not show your implementation so I will just provide a code that implements the scheme that shows:

    wizard.h

    #ifndef WIZARD_H
    #define WIZARD_H
    
    #include <QWizard>
    
    class QButtonGroup;
    
    class Wizard : public QWizard
    {
        Q_OBJECT
    public:
        enum { Start_Page,
               Page_1,
               Page_2, Page_3,
               Page_4,
               End_Page };
        Wizard(QWidget *parent=nullptr);
    };
    
    class StartPage: public QWizardPage
    {
        Q_OBJECT
    public:
        StartPage(QWidget *parent=nullptr);
        int nextId() const override;
    private:
        QButtonGroup *group;
    };
    
    class Page1: public QWizardPage
    {
        Q_OBJECT
    public:
        Page1(QWidget *parent=nullptr);
        int nextId() const override;
    };
    
    class Page2: public QWizardPage
    {
        Q_OBJECT
    public:
        Page2(QWidget *parent=nullptr);
        int nextId() const override;
    };
    
    class Page3: public QWizardPage
    {
        Q_OBJECT
    public:
        Page3(QWidget *parent=nullptr);
        int nextId() const override;
    };
    
    class Page4: public QWizardPage
    {
        Q_OBJECT
    public:
        Page4(QWidget *parent=nullptr);
        int nextId() const override;
    };
    
    class EndPage: public QWizardPage
    {
