connect fails with QToolbar with QactionGroup/QActions/QMenu
-
Hi,
developing my first Qt App (Qt 5.15.2) on Linux (and btw trying to learn C++ so pretty sure my code is more nuts than sane)
My App connects to one or more databases showing the open connections in a toolbar in the QMainWindow.
I chose to put a QActionGroup in the toolbar containing the open connections as QActions since there must only be one connection selected at any time. The connections contain a QMenu with some QActions like Close, Reconnect, etc.
This all works, but now i'm struggling to connect the QMenu Actions to my QMainWindow because the compiler complains:In file included from /media/gweber/Data1/develop/stuff/koraq/src/main/koraq.cpp:1: In file included from /media/gweber/Data1/software/Qt/5.15.2/gcc_64/include/QtWidgets/QtWidgets:3: In file included from /media/gweber/Data1/software/Qt/5.15.2/gcc_64/include/QtWidgets/QtWidgetsDepends:3: In file included from /media/gweber/Data1/software/Qt/5.15.2/gcc_64/include/QtCore/QtCore:6: In file included from /media/gweber/Data1/software/Qt/5.15.2/gcc_64/include/QtCore/qabstractanimation.h:43: /media/gweber/Data1/software/Qt/5.15.2/gcc_64/include/QtCore/qobject.h:255:9: error: static_assert failed due to requirement 'bool((QtPrivate::CheckCompatibleArguments<QtPrivate::List<bool>, QtPrivate::List<QAction *>>::value))' "Signal and slot arguments are not compatible."

thanks in advance & regards,

What's the signature of Koraq::connection_close()?
/edit: According to the compiler output it is Koraq::connection_close(QAction*) but the signal triggerd() only has one bool parameter so it can't work.

@Christian-Ehrlicher
yes, signature was connection_close(QAction*), but i just realized that i have to connect to the _menu and not to _close_connection. Now its working as intended. Thanks :)@unficyp Then please mark the topic as solved, thx.
