Question

I want to display an image called image1 when a button1 is pressed and image2 when button2 is pressed. In order to do this I want to use ‘if’ statement. I wrote the following code:

if(ui->button1->clicked())
image.load(":/CondScrnIns.png");
else if(ui->button2->clicked())
image.load(":/CondScrnInsCentric.png");

but while executing these statements I’m getting the following error:

void QAbstractButton::clicked(bool) is protected

what function should I use insted of clicked()??

Answer 1

You will have to create slots for each buttons’s clicked signal and the do image.load in there.

connect(button1, SIGNAL( clicked() ), this, SLOT(button1Clicked()));
connect(button2, SIGNAL( clicked() ), this, SLOT(button2Clicked()));

Then in button1Clicked() and button2Clicked() slots you can put in the code to load the image or resize the dialog box whatever you want.
