[SOLVED]Cann't create signals ?
-
Dear Qt Forumers, I wrote simple programm to learn more about threads ssynchronization and have encountered problem when tried to build executable. The compiler couldn't find reference to one of signals SetMyText(QString, int). Could you please be so kind to help me with this bug (I waste enough time and exhausted). Thank you for help in advance. Please, take a look on codes:
main.cpp
@
#include <QApplication>
#include "ThreadAB.h"
#include "MyThread.h"
#include "MyString.h"
int main(int argc, char *argv[]){QApplication a(argc, argv); // QDebugStream cerr(std::cerr); // QDebugStream cout(std::cout); ThreadAB *window = new ThreadAB(); window -> show(); return a.exec();
}

Hi,
You forgot the Q_OBJECT macro in your MyThread class.
Don't forget to re-run qmake once you added it.

You're welcome !
Since you signals are working now, please update the thread title prepending [solved] so other forum users may know a solution has been found :)
