[solved] "No such slot" error

bio120

Hi all. I have a problem, that I can't solve.
I have class MainWindow and I have two slots in private slots section:
@ void getData(QUrl url, QScrollArea *object);
void proccessData(QNetworkReply *pReply, QScrollArea *object);@
There are source codes of this slots:
@void MainWindow::getData(QUrl url, QScrollArea object)
{
static QNetworkAccessManager am;
QNetworkRequest request(url);
QNetworkReply reply = am.get(request);
connect(reply,SIGNAL(finished()),
this,SLOT(proccessData(reply,object)));
}
void MainWindow::proccessData(QNetworkReply *pReply, QScrollArea object)
{
QLabel label = new QLabel;
label->setText(pReply->readAll());
object->setWidget(label);
}@

My app compiles without any errors, but when I "getData" calls "processData", I see that in my debug window
@Object::connect: No such slot MainWindow::proccessData(reply,object) in ..\MainWindow.cpp:166@

Also I have QScrollArea without any text. Please, help me

Maybe the problem is the connect inside the getData slot. You could try to put it in constructor.

Hope it helps you.

Your slot function is defined as
@proccessData(QNetworkReply*, QScrollArea*)@

But you try to connect to, so indeed there is no such slot!
@SLOT(proccessData(reply,object))@

You need to change that to:
@SLOT(proccessData(QNetworkReply*, QScrollArea*))@

Also you may consider changing your function's signature to:
@proccessData(const QNetworkReply &reply const QScrollArea &area)@

But *reply is the local variable. How I can put in it the constructor?

thanks, I will try it

Hi bio120,

Two things to fix:

The slot signature needs to contain the TYPES of the parameters, not the VARIABLE NAMES:
@
// Correct:
SLOT(proccessData(QNetworkReply*,QScrollArea*))

// Wrong:
SLOT(proccessData(reply,object))
@

Signals and slots must have matching parameters. Since your signal finished() has no parameters, your slot cannot have any parameters either. So, you can't connect QNetworkReply::finished() to MainWindow::proccessData(QNetworkReply*, QScrollArea*)

JKSH,thanks. it's the best answer.

You're welcome.

To clarify point #2: You can't pass a local variable into a slot's connection. If you want to pass an argument into a slot, that argument must be emitted with the signal, e.g.

@
connect(calculator, SIGNAL(result(int)), this, SLOT(processResult(int)));
@

In the above example, processResult() copies the int that was provided by result().
