Using qvector in q_property and accesing each data

Hi, I would like to update weekKm and weekTime to update automatically when I change any value in m_weekKmAndTime, but I am struggling with that. I would like to acces it just like DbModel.weekKm(0) and have value, not struggle with vars in qml and trying to get value there.
Here is my code:

in .h file:
Q_PROPERTY(QVector<QPair<int, int>> weekKmAndTime READ weekKmAndTime NOTIFY weekKmAndTimeChanged)
weekKm and weekTime are Q_INVOKABLE
in .cpp
QVector<QPair<int, int>> DataBaseModel::weekKmAndTime() const
{
return m_weekKmAndTime;
}
int DataBaseModel::weekKm(int day) const
{
return m_weekKmAndTime[day].first;
}
int DataBaseModel::weekTime(int day) const
{
return m_weekKmAndTime[day].second;
}

I have an existing object with data. I want to draw this data to a widget. How?

So I have an object that has some data in it. I want to draw this data onto a widget.

I've created a new RenderWidget that inherits from QWidget. I've added a QWidget to my GUI in QT Creator and promoted it to this type. Inside my RenderWidget I've updated the `paintEvent` and I can see my widget being painted when I run the application.

How do I initialize this widget in my GUI with my object, so that the RenderWidget can read from it during the paintEvent?

Or am I supposed to create a new model inheriting from QAbstractItemModel, and somehow get that to the widget?

How to create Resize Handles for a QGraphicsItem?

Hey everyone.

I'm looking to create resize handles for any QGraphicsItem, similar to what you'd see in Photoshop. I'm wondering how I would accomplish this in PyQt. I need it to work for any QGraphicsItem so I don't have to subclass each item and apply logic internally. I was thinking about using QTransform for this, as it works for any item for scaling.

The handles need to work for any QGraphicsItem without subclassing each item and applying logic internally. I'm considering using QTransform because it works for any item for scaling. In summary, here's what I'm trying to achieve:

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

How to create rulers on sides of QGraphicsView in PyQt5?

Good day all. I am trying to achieve this in PyQt:

I have read countless Stack Overflow threads and searched Github, but all I have found are C++ versions of the rulers. I basically need a Python version of the rulers, I don't know if anybody has done this with PyQt. Any help is appreciated.

Qt frameless window does not resize or move as expected on KDE

I have created a QMainWindow with the following window flags Qt::FramelessWindowHint | Qt::X11BypassWindowManagerHint | Qt::BypassWindowManagerHint like so
BrowserWindow::BrowserWindow(QWidget parent, double width, double height): QMainWindow(parent), resizing(false){
this->resize(width, height);
this->setWindowFlags(Qt::FramelessWindowHint | Qt::X11BypassWindowManagerHint | Qt::BypassWindowManagerHint);
this->setAttribute(Qt::WA_TranslucentBackground);
this->setMouseTracking(true);

//Implement Outer UI
QWidget centralWidget = new QWidget(this);

//...widgets
centralWidget->setMouseTracking(true);


this->setCentralWidget(centralWidget);
}
Here is the code I've written to implement resizing
void BrowserWindow::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent event){
if(event->button() == Qt::LeftButton && this->isEdgePosition(event->position())){
this->showNormal();
this->resizing = true;
this->maximized = false;
this->originalGeometry = this->geometry();
this->lastMousePosition = event->globalPosition();
this->currentEdgePosition = this->edgePosition(event->position());
}
QMainWindow::mousePressEvent(event);
}

void BrowserWindow::mouseMoveEvent(QMouseEvent event){
switch(this->edgePosition(event->position())){
case WindowBoundary::TOP:
case WindowBoundary::BOTTOM:
this->setCursor(Qt::SizeVerCursor);
break;
//...the same for the other edges and corners
default:
this->setCursor(Qt::ArrowCursor);
}

if(this->resizing){
QPointF delta = event->globalPosition() - lastMousePosition;
QRect newGeometry = originalGeometry;

switch(this->currentEdgePosition){
case WindowBoundary::TOP:
newGeometry.setTop(originalGeometry.top() + delta.y());
break;
case WindowBoundary::BOTTOM:
newGeometry.setBottom(originalGeometry.bottom() + delta.y());
break;
case WindowBoundary::LEFT:
newGeometry.setLeft(originalGeometry.left() + delta.x());
break;
case WindowBoundary::RIGHT:
newGeometry.setRight(originalGeometry.right() + delta.x());
break;
case WindowBoundary::TOPLEFT:
newGeometry.setTop(originalGeometry.top() + delta.y());
newGeometry.setLeft(originalGeometry.left() + delta.x());
break;
case WindowBoundary::TOPRIGHT:
newGeometry.setTop(originalGeometry.top() + delta.y());
newGeometry.setRight(originalGeometry.right() + delta.x());
break;
case WindowBoundary::BOTTOMLEFT:
newGeometry.setBottom(originalGeometry.bottom() + delta.y());
newGeometry.setLeft(originalGeometry.left() + delta.x());
break;
case WindowBoundary::BOTTOMRIGHT:
newGeometry.setBottom(originalGeometry.bottom() + delta.y());
newGeometry.setRight(originalGeometry.right() + delta.x());
break;
}

this->setGeometry(newGeometry);
}
QMainWindow::mouseMoveEvent(event);
}
Here is the code I use to move the window.
void TitleBar::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent event){
this->moving = true;
this->originalPosition = event->globalPosition();
this->originalGeometry = this->window->geometry();
QWidget::mousePressEvent(event);
}

void TitleBar::mouseMoveEvent(QMouseEvent event){
if(this->moving){
QPointF delta = event->globalPosition() - this->originalPosition;
QRect newGeometry = this->originalGeometry;

newGeometry.moveTopLeft(this->originalGeometry.topLeft() + delta.toPoint());

this->window->setGeometry(newGeometry);
}
}
Here is the issue: The window does not move when clicking and dragging on the titlebar on kde, and only the bottom, right and bottom right edges resize correctly. When resizing from the top, left or top left edges/corner, it resizes from the

bottom, right or bottom right edge/corner. I have tested the same code on pop os and it resizes and moves correctly.
What can I do to ensure the same behaviour on kwin and non kwin environments?

Cannot register namespace enum

I have an enum that I need to use both in QML and C++, so I followed a reddit post here and documentation:
[https://www.reddit.com/r/QtFramework/comments/18d1o5t/how\_can\_i\_expose\_an\_c\_enum\_to\_qml/](https://www.reddit.com/r/QtFramework/comments/18d1o5t/how_can_i_expose_an_c_enum_to_qml/)
[https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qqmlengine.html#qmlRegisterUncreatableMetaObject](https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qqmlengine.html#qmlRegisterUncreatableMetaObject)

so I have this code:

#include <QObject>

namespace AuthStatus
{
Q_NAMESPACE
enum class Status {
LoggedIn,
TokensPresent,
None
};
Q_ENUM_NS(Status)
}

qmlRegisterUncreatableMetaObject(AuthStatus::staticMetaObject, "socialhub", 1, 0, "AuthStatus", QStringLiteral("Access to enums only"));

but when I compile it with make, I get this error:

main.cpp:(.text+0xbbe): undefined reference to `AuthStatus::staticMetaObject'

Is there a better way to insert units in my form?

I wonder if there is a better way to insert the unit of my form while someone is entering a number.

TBH if I would know how to do this I would allow the user to enter its Value in inch as well as in mm.

I have no clue how this is done 'the Qt way'


Thanks in advance for any hint.

TextField{
id: innerDia
text: ""
placeholderText: "Innendurchmesser in mm"
onTextChanged: {
if (!innerDia.text.endsWith("mm"))
innerDia.text = innerDia.text + " mm"
// place curser before "mm"
innerDia.cursorPosition = innerDia.text.length - 3
}
}

Dynamic QML component

It is better use C++ for dynamic QML component or Javascript Dynamic QML compinent.

In C++:
Q_INVOKABLE void createComponent(const QString &qmlCode, QObject *parent = nullptr);

In Javascript:
const newObject = Qt.createQmlObject('some string');

Which is better and why ?
I feel easier in JS, but I want to utilize C++, I want experts suggestion on which one to take when and why.

Qt Zipfiles

I am new to Qt and have a project that needs to be migrated to Qt 6. In our project, we normally use QuaZip, but I think we need to switch to QZipReader and QZipWriter from the Qt framework. Will this migration be straightforward? Are there any functionalities in QuaZip that QZipReader and QZipWriter do not support?

Help identifying a crash

Hi,

I am debugging a crash, which I cannot understand. The way I can reproduce this is:

        QString l = "\r";
        QChar c = l[0];

This crashes inside the operator, relevant code from 6.7.1:

const QChar QString::operator[](qsizetype i) const
{ 
   verify(i, 1); // this one fails me
   return QChar(d.data()[i]); 
}
   
 Q_ALWAYS_INLINE constexpr void verify([[maybe_unused]] qsizetype pos = 0,
                                          [[maybe_unused]] qsizetype n = 1) const
    {
        Q_ASSERT(pos >= 0);
        Q_ASSERT(pos <= d.size);
        Q_ASSERT(n >= 0);
        Q_ASSERT(n <= d.size - pos); // here d.size is 0!!!11
    }

Code does work if I change l = "1". What am I missing here?

Cahier - Advanced note-taking with bibliography management (v0.5.0 release)

Hello!

Cahier is the app that I've been developing for a year and a half, written using Qt. It is a knowledge base created to support out of the box the research workflow. It allows you to both store and read study documents (PDFs, web pages, etc.), extract and link highlights from those documents, and produce written content based on them.

It's a local-first, native application for Windows and macOS.

v0.5.0 introduces better support for highlight links. Notes can be linked to highlights using cards. The startup speed is better. We've recently also added Markdown export in notes and improved the design of macOS apps.

For a more comprehensive list of changes, check our Twitter. Download the software here.
