@
Header.h
class ap
{
Q_OBJECT
public slot:
void open();
}

call.cpp
include header.h
{
class ap:: open()
{
}
}

on.h
include header.h
{
class on
private:
ap*m_call

}

on.cpp

include header.h
{

m_call = new ap(this);
connect(openButton,SIGNAL(clicked), m_call, SLOT(open));@

Try rename file names: you must have 4 files:
call.h
call.cpp
on.h
on.cpp

And, please show to us all files acrtual contents, not pseudocode.

i added header file in the program but then also its not working i have to create instance, with this it will work i guess i did that also means i created one object of the class where the function is and put that object in connect command but its not working please help
can a one give me an exmaple or a link for "calling a function from other cpp file" so that i will get an idea how to do that.

Just create new project (Test) and add there files:

@
// call.h
#ifndef CALL_H
#define CALL_H

#include <QObject>

class call : public QObject
{
Q_OBJECT

public:
explicit call(QObject *parent = 0);

public slots:
void open();
};

#endif // CALL_H@

@
// call.cpp
#include "call.h"
#include <qdebug.h>

call::call(QObject *parent): QObject(parent)
{}

void call::open()
{
qDebug() << "CALL";
}
@

@
// on.h
#ifndef ON_H
#define ON_H

#include <QObject>
#include "call.h"

class on : public QObject
{
Q_OBJECT

public:
explicit on(QObject *parent = 0);

signals:
void mySignal();

private:
call *m_call;
};

#endif // ON_H
@

@
// on.cpp
#include "on.h"

on::on(QObject *parent): QObject(parent)
{
m_call = new call(this);

connect(this, &on::mySignal, m_call, &call::open);

emit mySignal();
}
@

@
// main.cpp
#include "on.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
on *myOn = new on();
}
@

@
// Test.pro
HEADERS +=
call.h
on.h

SOURCES +=
call.cpp
on.cpp
main.cpp
@

Thanks this works but in my code its not working dont know why
Thanks though.

i am getting error in my prog when i write
@m_call=new call (this)@
''that no instance of constructor''

Ildar

Simpify the code and show it.

ok now i know the problem when i define the class contructore it has arguments in it thats why i am not able to create object.Do you know any solution regrading this how can i create object of a class whose constructor has arguments like bool*a,QWidget parent = 0
means
@call(boola ,QWidget *parent = 0,QObject *parent)@

Please, read books about C++ and Qt.
