Passing String from Main to Slot
-
Hi All,
i tried to pass the string UG to my slot void Manuals::on_QRG_clicked(QString UG), so that the process is started. But i got
QMetaObject::connectSlotsByName: No matching signal for on_QRG_clicked(QString) .
My idea is that the string UG is not passed.
Whats wrong?
@Manuals::~Manuals()
{
delete ui;
QString UG = "acroread reference.pdf";}
void Manuals::on_QRG_clicked(QString UG)
{
QProcess acrobat;
acrobat.start(UG);
acrobat.waitForFinished(-1);
}@Thanks alot..

The message is clear: your signal and slot signatures don't fit. You need to have a signal that sends a QString before it can connect to a slot that is expecting a QString.
Also, line 4 of your code is completely obsolete, it does nothing.

i dont know what exactly you are trying but we will find out ;)

QMetaObject::connectSlotsByName: No matching signal for on_QRG_clicked(QString) .[/quote]This erro essage says that "QMetaObject::connectSlotsByName()":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qmetaobject.html#connectSlotsByName doesn't find any slot to connect the slot to. Meaning a child object with the object name "QRG" is missing (which should emit the clicked-signal).
I also don't know why you create a QString object in the constructor. Nevertheless it will be destroyed right on the next line, because it is created on the stack and running out of scope (destructor method).

This only won't help either. Scope still stays the same and the string he instantiates there wont be the argument he expects in the slot...
