Why i am getting error when use new signal slot method ?
-
I am using below code in constructor. BlinkLabel is public slot.
when i use below line in my constructor error not come.
QObject::connect(qTScanning, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(BlinkLabel()));but when i use new signal slot method i am getting error:
-
error: no matching function for call to &G3_Scan::BlinkLabel
-
error: invalid use of incomplete type 'struct QtPrivate::QEnableIf<false, QMetaObject::Connection>'
-
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/QtCore/qobject.h:293: error: invalid use of incomplete type 'struct QtPrivate::QEnableIf<false, QMetaObject::Connection>'
INIT_OBJ(qTScanning); qTScanning = new QTimer(this); // time1->setSingleShot(true); QObject::connect(&qTScanning, &QTimer::timeout, this, &G3_Scan::BlinkLabel); qTScanning->start(500);How to resolve this error? what mistake i have done ?
@Qt-embedded-developer said in Why i am getting error when use new signal slot method ?:
QObject::connect(&qTScanning, &QTimer::timeout, this, &G3_Scan::BlinkLabel);
As far as I can see,
qTScanningis a pointer
==>QObject::connect(qTScanning, &QTimer::timeout, this, &G3_Scan::BlinkLabel);is more correct! -

@Qt-embedded-developer
are there multiple BlinkLabel methods available (with different signatures)?
if so, see qOverload@raven-worx no there is only one public slot named BlinkLabel()

@raven-worx no there is only one public slot named BlinkLabel()

thethispointer is an instance of the classG3_Scan?btw: using the old connect syntax might silently fail, but it doesnt mean that the old syntax is working. You would need to check the return value if the connection was successfully established.

@raven-worx i made the mistake due to use of &qTScanning. now my code is working . but i am not getting why i can not use &qTScanning?

Hi
because qTScanning is already a pointer -

@raven-worx How to check return value of successful connection ?

returntrue-> success,false-> failedbut simply dont use the old connect syntax anymore

@raven-worx sorry but can you give sample example ?
