plz give some proper suggestions.
with regards!

As it says, QWidget::closeEvent() is not a slot. Furthermore, signals and slots don't work that way. You can't add variables to connect statement.

Code:

---

connect(quitButton, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(close()));

---

Recommended reading: signals and slots

Dear Sir!
I have used close slot before viewing this post. But I couldn't think this QWidget::closeEvent() is a function however I have seen this function earlier; So I am facing trouble.
Thanks!

Don't guess and seem to remember which one is slot and which one is not. It is all clearly and well documented in the Qt reference documentation. I keep Qt Assistant always open while writing anything related to Qt. I suggest you do the same. ;)
