1 of 2 EMIT functions does not work

[bask185]

In my Setup window I want to set the autoRepeatInterval of certain pushbuttons. There are 4 pushbuttons in my mainwindow and there are 4 pushbuttons in the keyboard window. And the ones of my keyboard window aren't getting new values.

In Setup class I do:

setup.h

signals:
void changeInterval(int value);
void changeIntervalKeyboard(int value);

setup.cpp

void Setup::on_plus_clicked()
{  
    emit changeIntervalKeyboard(++value);
    emit changeInterval(value);
    ui->intervalLabel->setText(QString::number(value));
}

void Setup::on_minus_clicked()
{
    emit changeIntervalKeyboard(--value);
    emit changeInterval(value);
    ui->intervalLabel->setText(QString::number(value));
}

In mainwindow.cpp:

connect(settings, &Setup::changeInterval, this, &MainWindow::changeInterval);

void MainWindow::changeInterval(int value)
{
   ui->DOWN->setAutoRepeatInterval(value);
   ui->UP->setAutoRepeatInterval(value);
   ui->LEFT->setAutoRepeatInterval(value);
   ui->RIGHT->setAutoRepeatInterval(value);
   qDebug() << "i'm @ Mainwindow";
}

In mainwindow.h

void changeInterval(int value);

in keyboard.cpp

connect(settings, &Setup::changeIntervalKeyboard, this, &Keyboard::changeIntervalKeyboard);


void Keyboard::changeIntervalKeyboard(int value)
{
   ui->down->setAutoRepeatInterval(value); // button names are correct
   ui->up->setAutoRepeatInterval(value);
   ui->left->setAutoRepeatInterval(value);
   ui->right->setAutoRepeatInterval(value);
   qDebug() << "I'm @ keyboard";
}

and in keyboard.h

void changeIntervalKeyboard(int value);

Whatever I do or try, I am never seeing the debug text: "I'm @ keyboard"
I tried in keyboard.cpp

connect(settings, &Setup::changeInterval, this, &Keyboard::changeIntervalKeyboard);

But no effect. I looked at it about ~20 times now but I cannot find any reason why "emit changeIntervalKeyboard(--value);" is not working and why the other one is working. As far as I can see I did the exact same thing for both of them, so now I need others to see... because right now I am not seeing anything anymore -_-*

@Eligijus A thnx dat solved the problem

I'm @ keyboard
i'm @ Mainwindow

only had to move "void changeIntervalKeyboard(int Value);" from private to public slots.

are you sure these 2 settings pointers point to the same object?

[bask185]

I am not sure, now that you mention I don't think so. 'settings' is the Setup object which is constructed in the MainWindow.h file

private:

Setup *settings;

I don't know how I can let the keyboard class point at the 'settings' object in the MainWindow.

@bask185 Where do you create Keyboard object?

Mainwindow

[Eligijus]

@bask185 Then just make a connection inside MainWindow like so:
connect(settings, &Setup::changeIntervalKeyboard, !Keyboard object name!, &Keyboard::changeIntervalKeyboard);
change !Keyboard object name! to your Keyboard object name.
