How to connect default QDialogButtonBox

[ademmler]

Hi folks,

in my class I am using a QDialogButtonBox. The UI has been made with QtCreator.
How do I connect those buttons using the NEW syntax?
I tried the code below but I get "error: no matching member function for call to 'connect'

#include "mycomments.h"
#include "ui_mycomments.h"

MyComments::MyComments(QWidget *parent) :
    QDialog(parent),
    ui(new Ui::MyComments)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);

    connect(this, ui->dialogButtonBox->button(QDialogButtonBox::Apply), this, &MyComments::slotApplyComment);
}

MyComments::~MyComments()
{
    delete ui;
}


void slotApplyComment()
{

}

@ademmler check here

looks like slotApplyComment() is not member function.
Syntax also wrong here

Hi
Your connect is a bit odd.
Should not be like

  connect(ui->dialogButtonBox->button(QDialogButtonBox::Apply), &QPushButton::pressed, this, &MyComments::slotApplyComment);

@nagesh Yi are right - I corrected it - thx

@mrjj said in How to connect default QDialogButtonBox:

connect(ui->dialogButtonBox->button(QDialogButtonBox::Apply), &QPushButton::pressed, this, &MyComments::slotApplyComment);

This gives me:
mycomments.cpp:10:68: error: incomplete type 'QPushButton' named in nested name specifier
qdialog.h:51:7: note: forward declaration of 'QPushButton'

c++ basics - when you want to use a class you have to make sure the compiler sees it by e.g. including the header where it's defined.

@Christian-Ehrlicher You where faster ... just got it and wanted to delete my post ...
But honestly - c++ error messages are not very clear ;-)

Apart from this - why not simply using QDialogButtonBox::accepted()
