    Default QMetaObject::connectSlotsByName: No matching signal for

    I'm getting a "QMetaObject::connectSlotsByName: No matching signal for on_radioButton(bool)" error in the debug output of my project when it runs.

    The signals and slots actually work OK, but this message is output.

    I'm using something like this:

    Qt Code:
    1. Window::Window()
    2. {
    3. setupUi(this);
    4.  
    5. connect(xy_radioButton,SIGNAL(clicked(bool)),this,SLOT(on_radioButton(bool)));
    6.  
    7. ....
    8.  
    9. }
    10.  
    11.  
    12. void Window:: on_radioButton(bool checked)
    13. {
    14. ...
    15. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 


    In the header I have:

    Qt Code:
    1. private slots:
    2. void on_radioButton(bool);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Any ideas why this message is output, but it still actually works OK?

    Slots starting with on_ have special meaning.
