connect() doesn't seem to "connect"

cerr

Hi,

I've asked about this very same issue here before and I was helped. Since then, I have gone away and have now come back only to realize that I cannot seem to get it work correctly anymore... :( What I want, is to capture a double click onto a tab bar and execute a selected method upon that. I think the only thing that's changed was the header file... it looks like:

#include "session.h"
#include <QHash>
#include <QTabWidget>
class Session;
class SessionStack : public QTabWidget
{
    Q_OBJECT
    Q_CLASSINFO("D-Bus Interface", "org.kde.kterminal")

    public:
        explicit SessionStack(QWidget* parent, QWidget* window);
        ~SessionStack();

    public slots:
...
...
    signals:
...
...
	void tabBarDoubleClicked(int index);


    private slots:
...
...
	void editTabLabel(int tabIndex);
    private:
...
...	
};

#endif

and then in the respective .cpp I have:

qDebug() << "con:" << connect(this, SIGNAL(tabBarDoubleClicked(int)),this, SLOT(editTabLabel(int)));

and

void SessionStack::editTabLabel(int tabIndex)
{
    bool ok;
    qDebug() << "editTabLabel!";
  
    if (tabIndex < 0)
        return;
    
    QString text = QInputDialog::getText(this,tr("QInputDialog::getText()"),
					this->tabText(tabIndex), QLineEdit::Normal,
					this->tabText(tabIndex),&ok);
    
    if(ok && !text.isEmpty()) {
        this->setTabText(tabIndex,text);
        return;
    }
}

but my editTabLabel never gets called even though the call to connect() returns true. What do I have wrong here?

Thank you!

Why do you declare the void tabBarDoubleClicked(int index) signal in your class? QTabWidget already has one: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5.7/qtabwidget.html#tabBarDoubleClicked
Remove the signal from your class and try again.

Bang, that was it! Thank you! :)
