DONE: Signal called more than once

[Slowdown]

Code: Select all

' this is the mainwindow scope

Outlet lineEdit As QLineEdit

Event Init()
  SetFocus(lineEdit)
End Event

Signal on_lineEdit_editingFinished()
  Print "This Signal is called twice !! " & "\n"
  Print "and is also called if the form is closed by the close button" & "\n"
End Signal


Will result that the Signal is called twice when editing is finished.
And it's called again when the form is closed by the close button.

Hi Joost

thanks though this is the correct behaviour.

Qt says
"
This signal is emitted when the Return or Enter key is pressed or the line edit loses focus.
"

and that is exactly what it does.

When Print is used it looses focus-> 2nd signal call

Did read the Qt manual and indeed you're right.
In my humble opinion it's not quite logical but it's how Qt does it.
find out that,

Code: Select all

Signal on_lineEdit_returnPressed()
  Print "done editing"
End Signal


Also can be used.
