How do I create a handler for a signal from my c++ object?

[kgregory]

My QtQuick application is initialized as shown below from c++ main(). I have a signal from myObject, that I wish to handle in the QML pages but I can't figure out how. The last part of this guide (http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtqml-cppintegration-exposecppattributes.html) touches on it, but doesn't work for me. I think it may be because the object is created from main() and not from within the QML.

    MyObjectType myObject;
    QQuickView *view = new QQuickView;
    view->rootContext()->setContextProperty("myObject", &myObject);
    view->setSource(QUrl("qrc:/main.qml"));
    view->setResizeMode(QQuickView::SizeRootObjectToView);
    view->show();

Here is one thing I tried within my main QML item. I tried a bunch of other things too, but now I'm stumped. This gives me the warning 'Cannot assign to non-existent property "ghoztConnecting"' on the second line.

    signal signalToHandle()
    signalToHandle: myObject.onMySignal()
    onSignalToHandle: {
    pageLoader.source="home.qml";
    }

I've also tried simply this, but it seems like it only recognizes the reference to myObject within the javascript code regions.

myObject.onMySignal: {
    pageLoader.source="home.qml";
    }

Any suggestions?

@kgregory
you need to go this way via the Connections element in QML:

Connections {
    target: myObject
    onMySignal: {
       pageLoader.source="home.qml";
    }
}
