[SOLVED] client can't disconnect user from server

kalster

From the client, how to disconnect to the server? in the code below, the pushbutton when clicked should disconnect the server with socket->close(); but it does not. is socket->close(); server side only. if so, what would be the alternative to disconnect the user from client side?

@MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
ui->setupUi(this);
socket = new QTcpSocket(this);

this->connect(socket, SIGNAL(readyRead()), this, SLOT(readyRead()));
this->connect(socket, SIGNAL(connected()), this, SLOT(connected()));

socket->connectToHost(serverAddress, 4200);

if (socket->waitForConnected(500))
{
   ui->roomTextEdit->append("Connected to server ;-)");
   ui->connect->setText("Disconnect");

} else {
   ui->roomTextEdit->append("Cannot connect to server");
   ui->connect->setText("Connect");
 }

}

void MainWindow::on_connect_clicked()
{
if (connected1 == 0)
if (ui->connect->text() == "Connect"){
login->show();
ui->connect->setText("Disconnect");
} else {
if (connected1 == 1)
socket->close();
ui->connect->setText("Connect");
}
}@

i found what i was looking for. the disconnectFromHost() disconnects the client from the host.
