[Solved] Slot not found

silep

Hello, I wrote a signal/slot connect in a slot, but the debug doesn't find it.. It is written just before so I really don't know why. Here are my code lines:

In mainform.h:

@class MainForm : public QMainWindow
{
Q_OBJECT

private slots:
void HandleOK();
void HandleCancel();
void on_pbChangeLensPlateXYScan_clicked();
};@

In mainform.cpp:
@

void MainForm::HandleOK()
{
ui->teErrorBrowser->insertPlainText("OK!!");
this->close();
}

void MainForm::HandleCancel()
{
ui->teErrorBrowser->insertPlainText("Cancel!!");
this->close();
}

void MainForm::on_pbChangeLensPlateXYScan_clicked()
{
QMainWindow mwLensPlateChoice = new QMainWindow(this);
QDialogButtonBox bbValidation;
/ definition of the two widgets.../

QPushButton* OkButton = bbValidation->button(QDialogButtonBox::Ok);
connect(OkButton, SIGNAL(clicked()), mwLensPlateChoice, SLOT(HandleOK()));
QPushButton* CancelButton = bbValidation->button(QDialogButtonBox::Cancel);
connect(CancelButton, SIGNAL(clicked()), mwLensPlateChoice, SLOT(HandleCancel()));@

The slots HandleOK() and HandleCancel() are not found..

Hi,

mwLensPlateChoice is a QMainWindow, not a MainForm

Thanks you for your reply! Yes you are right the slots are defined in MainForm, so I have to move them to qmainwindow.cpp? I hesitate to change the default files..

Another solution should to change mwLensPlateChoice into a MainForm, because it is almost the same thing, but the method is in the MainForm class, so it doesn't work!

You certainly should not touch QMainWindow for that.

From your questions, you really should first look through Qt's documentation examples and tutorials.

I found another way, I just passed mwLensPlateChoice as a MainForm attribute, so that I can use it without input parameter in my slot functions, and put "this" for the receiver in my connect.
