who can told me how

Documentation can: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/signalsandslots.html

@jsulm be sure that I tried to recover on my own . if you can't/do not want help me ,please ignore this topic :)

Then please show what you tried and say what went wrong if you want to get meaningful help...

[dziko147]

@jsulm ok I tried this actually

in //MainWindow.h

signals:
    void canDeviceChanged(int value);

in //MainWindow.cpp

connect(this, SIGNAL(canDeviceChanged(int value )),&back, SLOT(statuspican(int value)));


if (m_canDevice)
    emit canDeviceChanged(1); 

in backend.h

public slots:
    void statuspican(int value);

in backend.cpp

void Backend::statuspican(int value)
{
qDebug() << "from Mainwindow :" << value;
}

Have you read the link a give you at least 5 times?
This can not work ==> https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qobject.html#connect

EDIT
What is statuspican2?
According to your code, the slot name is statuspican

Remove "value". Old style connect does only contain the parameter type, not its name.
But you should really switch to new Qt5 connect syntax - if you then do something wrong you will get a compiler error. With old style connect you only get a runtime warning if connect fails.

[dziko147]

so logically it should works , there is no syntax error ! ?

@dziko147 Did you read what I and @KroMignon wrote?

Are you jocking?

Nothing is correct:

• the slot name is wrong
• the SIGNAL() syntax is wrong ==> only signal signature means: signal name and parameter types
• the SLOT() syntax is wrong ==> only slot signature means: slot name and parameter types

@KroMignon ok could you provide a connect implementation to solve this .

i am blocked since 3 days :/

@jsulm already told you what's wrong and you should switch over to the new signal/slot syntax so you get proper compile time errors instead during runtime.

Can you read?

@jsulm told you what to do:

Remove "value". Old style connect does only contain the parameter type, not its name.

And in Qt documentation:

Note that the signal and slots parameters must not contain any variable names, only the type. E.g. the following would not work and return false:

// WRONG
QObject::connect(scrollBar, SIGNAL(valueChanged(int value)),
             label, SLOT(setNum(int value)));

// CORRECT
QObject::connect(scrollBar, SIGNAL(valueChanged(int)),
            label,  SLOT(setNum(int)));

I cannot believe this take 3 days to understand.

[dziko147]

@KroMignon even i remove the "value" it doesn't works .
I didn't understand why .
No error but the application spits .

Why not using the debugger to find out why your application crash?

And in you connect:

connect(this, SIGNAL(canDeviceChanged(int)),&back, SLOT(statuspican(int)));

What is back?
Where is it defined?

[jsulm]

@dziko147 Next thing to check: what does connect() call return?

qDebug() << connect(this, SIGNAL(canDeviceChanged(int)),&back, SLOT(statuspican(int)));

Next: did you make sure that the signal is actually emitted?

if (m_canDevice) {
    qDebug() << "Emit signal";
    emit canDeviceChanged(1);
}

[dziko147]

@jsulm

qDebug() << connect(this, SIGNAL(canDeviceChanged(int)),&back, SLOT(statuspican(int)));

return true .

And the signal is emmited

Hi,

@dziko147 said in signal/slot between two different classes:

@jsulm

qDebug() << connect(this, SIGNAL(canDeviceChanged(int)),&back, SLOT(statuspican(int)));

return true .

And the signal is emmited

Where is back defined ?
Any chances that this is a function local variable that is destroyed at the end of it ?

[dziko147]

@SGaist

Backend is my second class . the class which i want to get data in .
So back is an instance of Backend .

So i defined like this :

Backend back; 

[SGaist]

The question is: where is it defined ?

[dziko147]

@SGaist

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    m_ui(new Ui::MainWindow),
{
    m_ui->setupUi(this);
    
    Backend back ;
connect(this, SIGNAL(canDeviceChanged(int)),&back, SLOT(statuspican(int)));
