      Hello!

      I'm a begginer, started this month programming with QT. So long I've been able to create a GUI (ControlLoop) with the QT Designer and access its widgets with signals and slots declared in the Sourcefile. Now I have a new class (StartGui) which inherits from ControlLoop. In StartGui I'm trying to catch the signals from the ControlLoop's widgets at runtime, I have tried almost everything I've read. I connect the signals and slots in der StartGui class and get no error messages. But whenever the program is running and I change the Text in e.g. a QLineEdit, nothing happens. Could you please help me? I've been stuck at this point for days.

      I don't know what I'm doing wrong whenever I connect the Widgets, the nothing happens when the programm is running and I do any of the signals.

      Is it even possible to acces those widgets from the subclass or is the whole idea just wrong=

      Thank you very much!

          Hello.
          I'm sorry, but it's not QT, it's Qt.
          Also, why do you need this inheritence? Just make your class for main window, draw interface for it and then right-click on desired element and choose "Go to slot".
