Hello,
I am trying to implement a nice Citation dialog for qt4 but I have
difficulties with the controller:
Right now, QCitation derives from QController<ControlCitation,
QView<QCitationDialog> >. I have approximatively the same code as in the
qt2 frontend but the OK and Apply buttons don't work properly. It seems
that QCitation::update_content is properly called on construction but
QCitation::apply is not called when Apply or OK button are pressed.
There is an error message in the console:
NoRepeatedApplyReadOnlyPolicy: No transition for input SMI_APPLY from
state INVALID
I've tried to understand the controller mechanism but it's really too
convoluted for me (like A calls B calls C calls B calls A ...). So
please if someone knows about this (Angus?), help me.
I am more and more agreeing with Andre about GUII. I am spending more
time fitting into its concept than actually coding the GUI :-(
By the way, what's the "QCitation::hide" method for?
Abdel.
PS: QCitation.[Ch] attached.
