    Aha, I had to delete Q_OBJECT and related inherit from class A and it compiles now.

      It runs ok but doesn't trigger my slot. I am debugging it now and I see that signal is being emitted. But no slot is called.

        Of course not: if you want slots, you need Q_OBJECT.

        Re-insert Q_OBJECT, re-run qmake (as you were told to do by raven-worx), and re-compile.

          Yes but then I get the error that I mentioned in

            Hi, you should connect SIGNAL to SLOT, but you are connecting a SLOT to SIGNAL now.

              I have tried that as well. Now in my actual code it is running like:

              @
              connect(this,SIGNAL(sgSetTheThreshold(float)), this, SLOT(SetTheThreshold(float)));
              @

              I think it should work in both ways.

                Ah... your problem is that you are using multiple inheritance of QObject. You have the dreaded diamond-shaped inheritance diagram. Don't do that. It is not supported.

                No, it will not work both ways. You can connect a signal to a slot, or to
                another signal, or with Qt 5 even to a normal member function or a functor or a lambda function. But you cannot connect a slot to anything.

                  I didn't get what I should not do?

                  What I want to do is to connect a signal in the sub class in a slot in the super class. Is this not supported?

                    No. The error you give us, suggests to me that you are using multiple inheritance, and that class B is already descendant from QObject. Your class currently inherits from QObject and B. If B also directly or indirectly inherits QObject, you have the diamond-shaped multiple inheritance, and QObject will not function properly if you do that. In your case, the solution is simple: only inherit from B.

                      [quote author="raven-worx" date="1375444124"]let the highest class derive from QObject and rerun qmake.[/quote]
                      i think i was unclear with that post... thats what i meant with "highest" class. (hierarchical highest class, the most basic class, and only this one) .. sry

                        As Andre said, you should not use multiple inheritance of QObject.

                        The Qt documentation says that:

                        If you are using multiple inheritance, moc assumes that the first inherited class is a subclass of QObject. Also, be sure that only the first inherited class is a QObject.

                        @
                        // correct
                        class SomeClass : public QObject, public OtherClass
                        {
                        ...
                        };
                        @
