sine wave not generated with click of pushButton
Hi guys,
So I have a program which generates a sine wave. I have compiled and run it in Linux terminal successfully. Now, I wish to integrate it in Qt to build a gui which takes in values of frequency and amplitude and generates the sine wave according to those specifications. I have designed the gui in Qt Creator using QMainWindow. My class is called "wave". I have successfully compiled and run the program with no errors. The QMainWindow pops up when I run it. But when I input values for frequency and amplitude and push the pushButton, no sine wave is generated. I'm not sure why.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Below is the code under my pushButton function in wave.cpp and the code of any functions that have been called within it:

To start with, please help others to understand what is going wrong, set break points in pushbutton slot and check where the control goes, this the one of the first things one would do, please do this, if not already done, and post the results, if you are not able figure out what is going wrong, then the someone can help.
Re: sine wave not generated with click of pushButton
Hi, after a quick look it seems like you never set isTrue to true, so probably your while(isTrue) loop will never be executed.

Hi when i put isTrue = true, my program terminates when I click the push button. I'm not sure why this is.
Okay guys, so I don't seem to have explained things very clearly, so I'm going to start a new thread with a clear and long explanation as I have two problems now.
