Why? If QtCreator did not allow you to do it, means that particular SIGNAL and SLOT are not directly compatible. Now I made same application as you said, and I used the reject() signal of button box and made my own slot myReject(). In myReject(), I simply wrote ui->spinBox->setValue(0); And I am done! I got the output, on click of reset, my values come down to 0. > > As I half-expected, it is not working.

Yes, clear() slot is as you said, I checked that out while reading your mail. (b) Button label editing > > On QDialogButtonBox, I do not want "Cancel", but instead I want > "Reset". How do I achieve this? Hand-editing the .ui file and changing > "Cancel" to "Reset" gives me a build failure. (I think because the > value is a variable name, not a string!

Use simple Push Button instead and edit the text property. :) Let me know it your thing runs, and if it does, please try solving mine which I had posted earlier regarding resizing :) -- Thanks & Regards, Keval Vora.
