Toot

Written by Chris Huck :freecad: :ubuntu: on 2024-12-29 at 17:32

This is a question for the #FreeCAD #macro people: I’ve created a dialog box with 3 radio buttons. The correct default button is selected, but I can’t figure out why the first button is highlighted? I’ve been reading through the documentation for QRadiobutton, but I can’t figure out why the toggled button isn’t highlighted.

Anyone have any ideas?

@chrishuck It's a very long time since I did anything in QT (Nokie N900 era), but is there a difference between ITEM.toggled and ITEM.selected or something like that? Or maybe an interaction between Python and QT, so Python handles the selection while QT handles the toggled state?

@alyn Not sure. I’m no expert in it, but the documentation doesn’t seem super explicit in defining that parameter. There doesn’t seem to be any .selected() function defined for a radio button. 🤷‍♂️

@chrishuck I don't know FreeCAD, so this may not be relevant, but maybe you are talking about what Qt calls "focus"? You can give focus to the button with zbut.setFocus().

@chrishuck A complete guess, but probably for keyboard selections, the first interact-able element having focus makes sense.

@chrishuck No idea, but that highlight is called focus and QRadioButton seems to have some methods related to it.

@elgregor That is correct. The .setFocus() method does what I want, as mentioned in the reply above 👆 .

I looked for it in the Qt Python docs for QRadioButton, but I didn’t see any mention of that method. I thought I’d just missed it.

Thanks for relying!

@chrishuck Glad it works. I don't see any replies other than mine. Either instances of other repliers don't want to federate with mine or my instance is just bugged.

@chrishuck Oh, and Qt Python docs for QRadioButton might only list methods specific to QRadioButton, not the inherited ones.

@elgregor Thanks for the tips and the link to all of the members. I didn’t look up the tree to QWidget to see that it has the .setFocus() method that QRadioButton inherits. I learned something new today!

I’m more of a casual programmer that isn’t as fluent in how a lot of modern documentation is set up to figure out how to do what I want. I learn a little more each time, but I’d never done any real GUI programming for my FreeCAD macro until I wanted it for this new version.
