A UDP socket send/receive.

Now what signal do I emit?
One you need to define in your MyUDP class as I wrote before:
class MyUDP... { signals: void showMessage(const QString& msg); ... void MyUDP::ReadyRead() { ... showMessage(QString(buffer));Please read https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/signalsandslots.html

Wow. That's cool. And I can implement showMessage(const QString& msg); in any file?
Say ui->textEditNetRX->append(msg); is available in "mainwindow.cpp.@jenya7 said in A UDP socket send/receive.:
in any file?
Yes, just add a slot where you need it and connect it to the signal.
Signals/slots is a very powerful concept and it also helps to decouple classes from each other. For example your MyUDP class does not need to know who connects to its signal, it just emits the signal. You can connect 0..n slots to a signal, you can connect a signal to 0..n other signals. -

In mainwindow.h I created a slot
class MainWindow : public QMainWindow { Q_OBJECT public: explicit MainWindow(QWidget *parent = nullptr); ~MainWindow(); MyUDP udp; public slots: void ShowUdpMessage(const QString& msg, const QByteArray data); //and so on...in mainwindow.cpp
void MainWindow::ShowUdpMessage(const QString& msg, const QByteArray data) { QByteArray arr = data; ui->textEditNetRX->append(msg); }now in main.cpp
MainWindow w; w.show(); QObject::connect(&???, &???, &w, &MainWindow::ShowUdpMessage);How do I tie the signal source?
The signal generates by MyUDP udp that resides in the MainWindow class. -

@jsulm
QObject::connect(&udp, &MyUDP::showMessage, &w, &MainWindow::ShowUdpMessage);
&udp - is not visible in the scope. also MainWindow::udp <- udp not recognized although it declared public:MyUDP udp; in MainWindow.@jenya7 You should do the connection inside MainWindow (for example in its constructor), because MainWindow needs the signal and it also has the MyUDP instance...
"although it declared public:MyUDP udp" - don't declare it public, just do the connection inside MainWindow.

I try in the constructor
MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) : QMainWindow(parent), ui(new Ui::MainWindow) { ui->setupUi(this); ui->tabWidget->setCurrentIndex(0); ui->textEditTerminalTx->installEventFilter(this); QObject::connect(&udp, &MyUDP::ShowUdpMessage, &MainWindow, &MainWindow::ShowUdpMessage); }third argument - &MainWindow <- 'MainWindow' does not refer to a value.
