ok button

Could u please post a piece of code on the use of a push button to close a dialog.
I have a dialog with some radiobuttons, a combobox and a pushbutton. When the pushbutton is clicked I want the dialog closed and the values of the selected item and the state of the radio buttons returned.

Thanks

Cursor position

How do I get the cursor position programmatically?

How do I move the cursor to a specific position on the screen in the program.

I do not have a handle on the event.

Thanks

Re: text position

text.move(pos) works fine. Thanks. I have been going through the scripts directory to pick some useful code which with a little modification would serve my purpose. It is bit time consuming and sometimes like groping in the dark. If a particular line is wrong, I have to close and restart qcad which ...

Re: text position

I did not know about this qDebug(pos) but if I replace pos.x and pos.y with numerical values, the effect is same. The text appears at 0,0. Is there any script which allows me to insert a block after getting the name from the user, add some text at the insertion position. Any good books you could sug...

text position

Thanks! The following code inserts the text always at (0,0). var pos = event.getModelPosition(); var text = new RTextEntity(this.getDocument(), new RTextData( new RVector(pos.x,pos.y), // position new RVector(pos.x,pos.y), // alignment point 2.0, // height 2.0, // text width (ignored for now) RS.VAl...

Re: script for spline

One more question though.

How can the values be accepted from command line?
I want to prompt the user for input which could be strings, numbers and based on the values determine the action in a program

Re: run a modified script

I tried the command line options and they did not work for me.
This is my scenario. I have the script file open in a text editor.
I run this script from QCAD. it works.
I modify a line in the script file and call it again. It is the old file that is being executed.

run a modified script

How do I run a script after modifying it?
Should I restart qcad or is there some reload option from the command line?
I am a beginner and I need to modify the code if does not give the right result.
Restarting qcad each time seems heavy.

thin space

How do i type in a thin space between characters? I need this thin space between the value and the unit of a quantity like in "1 mm". The normal space character feels a bit too wide for this purpose.

Thanks,

Surendranath
