POPassing list elements as signal/slot arguments in PyQt
text
Body
copied!<p>I want to pass object which calls on signal, as an argument to function so I can manipulate with that object in that function. That object is QLineEdit widget. Here is the example:</p> <pre><code>self.fieldList = [] for i in range(10): self.valueField = QtGui.QLineEdit() self.fieldList.append(self.valueField) self.fieldList[i].cursorPositionChanged.connect(lambda: (self.checkState(self.fieldList[i], palette1, palette2))) def checkState(self, line, palette1, palette2): if len(line.text()) > 3: line.setPalette(palette1) else: line.setPalette(palette2) </code></pre> <p>So, as you can see, I'm trying to pass list element <em>self.fieldList[i]</em> as an argument with name <em>line</em> in <em>checkState()</em> function. If I explicitly define <em>fieldList</em> element (i.e. <em>self.fieldList[0]</em>) in the <em>checkState()</em> function, the code works perfectly, but I can't pass it as argument. What am I doing wrong?</p> <p>Btw. compiler is not giving me error message when I try to run the program, but it simply won't do the job it's supposed to (change the color of the QLineEdit when I write more than 3 characters)</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p> <p><strong>@dex19dt</strong></p> <p>Yes, this is an example, but you are right! Only the last QLineEdit works like it should!</p> <p>The problem is, I can't give all those widgets names because their number depends on the layer selected, which means sometimes there are 5 widgets, sometimes 11 or 75 even.</p> <p>I can easily name those widgets and set text like so:</p> <pre><code> self.fieldList[i].setObjectName(_fromUtf8("attributeValueField_{0}".format(i))) self.fieldList[i].setText(_fromUtf8("{0}".format(value.toString()))) </code></pre> <p>and this works just fine for every widget, but I don't know how to define signals? Do you have an idea?</p> <hr> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p> <p><strong>@dex19dt</strong></p> <p>OK, so I asked about this problem of index not "sticking" to the function call, and I found out that this is just the way python works and to fix this problem I needed to replace this line:</p> <pre><code>self.fieldList[i].cursorPositionChanged.connect(lambda: (self.checkState(self.fieldList[i], palette1, palette2))) </code></pre> <p>with this one:</p> <pre><code>self.fieldList[i].cursorPositionChanged.connect(lambda old, new, i=i: (self.checkState(self.fieldList[i], palette1, palette2))) </code></pre> <p>so this way current index copies to the signal index. Although I'm not really sure why is there <code>old, new</code> part. Does it refer to the lambda function or simply defines left <code>i</code> as old and right <code>i</code> as new variable... Tried googling it, but without success. </p>
