create control event function

[hawiwo]

Hi,
as qt (designer) beginner i wonder how to create e.g. a pushButtons OnClick Event and code it (c++)
i am using Visual Studio 2016 and the Qt designer 5.11.0.
a youtube tutorial describes: right click on the control -> "goto slot" ->.... ends with a ...::on_pushButton_clicked() function.
thats what i have expexted.

But there is no "goto slot" action in the controls context menu!

How do i do that!

@hawiwo I guess you mean OnClick slot, not event?
This is simple: right click on the push button, then you will see "Go to slot..." in the context menu.

It's is usually safer to do the connection manually in the constructor, connecting by name backfires too often.

Under private slots: add void onButtonClicked(); (you can give it whatever name you like) then in the constructor, after setupUi() add connect(ui->pushButton,&QPushButton::clicked,this,&MyClass::onButtonClicked); (of course MyClass is the name of the class you are editing

P.S.
