Custom QMainWindow slots. How do I access them in Qt Designer?

primem0ver

I have five slots in my header and code for my class inherited from QMainWindow. There doesn't seem to be an ability to import those slots into Qt Designer. I have compiled the code and tried using the Signal/Slot editor for the window but neither have allowed me to connect QAction triggered() signal with a specific slot in my code.

Here they are:

public slots:
	void onAddPlatformClicked();
	void onAddPluginClicked();
	void onBrowseSource();
	void onBrowseDestination();
	void onGenerateClicked();

Never worked for me as well. I just use connect() in the constructor for custom slots and signals.

Good to know. Qt should fix this problem though. Qt has some great ideas about designing forms but this is a rather gaping hole since other designers make this easy to do.

@primem0ver TBH I find it much quicker (but that's just me) to do all signal/slot connections this way, written into constructor or other relevant place in the code instead of using designer.
