Qt: How do I handle the event of the user pressing the 'X' (close) button?
Well, I got it. One way is to override the QWidget::closeEvent
(QCloseEvent *event)
method in your class definition and add your code into that function. Example:
class foo : public QMainWindow
{
Q_OBJECT
private:
void closeEvent(QCloseEvent *bar);
// ...
};
void foo::closeEvent(QCloseEvent *bar)
{
// Do something
bar->accept();
}
If you have a QMainWindow
you can override closeEvent
method.
#include <QCloseEvent>
void MainWindow::closeEvent (QCloseEvent *event)
{
QMessageBox::StandardButton resBtn = QMessageBox::question( this, APP_NAME,
tr("Are you sure?\n"),
QMessageBox::Cancel | QMessageBox::No | QMessageBox::Yes,
QMessageBox::Yes);
if (resBtn != QMessageBox::Yes) {
event->ignore();
} else {
event->accept();
}
}
If you're subclassing a QDialog
, the closeEvent
will not be called and so you have to override reject()
:
void MyDialog::reject()
{
QMessageBox::StandardButton resBtn = QMessageBox::Yes;
if (changes) {
resBtn = QMessageBox::question( this, APP_NAME,
tr("Are you sure?\n"),
QMessageBox::Cancel | QMessageBox::No | QMessageBox::Yes,
QMessageBox::Yes);
}
if (resBtn == QMessageBox::Yes) {
QDialog::reject();
}
}
