Qli neEdit returnPressed.connect

[codebanger]

I have a subroutine to return text. I would like it to return when return is pressed but it won't work. Here is the sub

function inptxt(){
    var dialog = new QDialog(this);
    dialog.title = "Input text";
    var fbox = new QFormLayout;
    var stxt = new QLineEdit; 
    stxt.returnPressed.connect(function() {  //doesn't work
        return stxt.text;
    });
    fbox.addRow(stxt);
    dialog.setLayout(fbox);
    if (dialog.exec()) {
    }
    return stxt.text;
}

Does anyone know why the connect function doesn't work?
Thanks very much in advance

The return on line 7 returns from your local function defined on lines 6-8.

If you wish to close the dialog when return is pressed in that line edit, you can connect returnPressed to the dialogs close slot:

stxt.returnPressed.connect(dialog, "close");

Your inpttxt function will still return stxt.text.
