Refactoring of Signals
-
Hi,
I found a problem regarding the refactoring of signals. When I rightclick on the definition of a signal, and choose "find usages" qtcreator doesn't show me the connects of that signal.
Here's an examplein glwidget.h:
signals:
void pointAdded();I right-click on "pointAdded()" and chose "find Usages"
The following lines of code are being found:
emit pointAdded(); (in glwidget.cpp)
void pointAdded(); (in glwidget.h)but this line is NOT found:
connect (glWidget, SIGNAL pointAdded, this, SLOT updatePushButtons; (in file mainwindow.cpp)
( I intentionally removed some parentheses because the forum software was doing strange things)If I do this for a slot on the other hand, all lines of code are being found. (including connects in other files)
Also, the refactoring/renaming function doesn't work for the signal, because in the lines beginning with connect... the name of the signal isn't changed. It works fine for slots though.I use qtcreator 3.2.1, (and also 2.8.1).
Is this a bug? Is there maybe a workaround other than using the find function for signals?Regards,

Hi and welcome to devnet,
I don't know it can be considered as usage in the sense that it's not "active". What happens if you use the new connection style ?

Hi,
thank you for the tip, it works! With the new connection style the occurrence of the signal in the connect order is found when using the "find usages" option.
I like the new connection style :)Cheers,

You're very welcome,
Since you have it working correctly now, please update the thread title prepending [solved].
