Summary0010299: Coprocessing plugin: No cancel on export state wizard
DescriptionThe export state wizard has Go Back and Continue buttons, but no cancel buttons. Thus, there is no clear way to cancel the wizard if, for example, you realize you made a mistake and want to correct it before exporting the state.

I later discovered that pressing esc seems to cancel the window. It wasn't obvious, though, and I went through the wizard several times unnecessarily before realizing it.

I wasn't able to recreate this behavior on my machine. Please verify that it is still a problem.

Attached is a screenshot from my computer from ParaView CVS today. Notice that there is no "Cancel" button. There should be a cancel button.

Here's a screen shot on my linux machine showing that it's not a problem there. I'll get on a mac and fix it there.

By the way, what version of qt are you using and what Mac OS version?

I admit I am using Qt 4.5, not 4.6. My Mac OS is 10.5.8.

As a side note, it looks like the coprocessing plugin does not work on any platform (at least on XP and ubuntu for me) with qt 4.5 since the "CoProcessing" and "Writers" menus don't appear. I'm still working on checking it out for both qt 4.5 and qt 4.6 on a mac.

It looks like the MacStyle does not have the cancel button by default (see http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.6/qwizard.html#wizardStyle-prop [^]). It was weird for me in that on my ubuntu machine if I changed the QWizard style to MacStyle I did get the cancel button with Qt 4.6. In any case, I changed the style to ModernStyle to make sure that we do not use MacStyle.

Let me know how this works out.

We expect that this is an old version of Qt. If this bug still exists after updating Qt, please re-open it.

Nope. I upgraded to Qt 4.6.2 and I am still missing the Cancel button. I have uploaded a new screen shot.

I tested this and it's fixed now. Apparently setting the WizardStyle to ModernStyle gets overridden on the mac. The fix was to use setOption(QWizard::NoCancelButton, false). This may be more information than desired but hopefully the next person that hits this problem sees this note :)

Thanks to Rob Maynard for pointing the fix out to me.
