problem with slots

[wysota]

The Q_OBJECT macro needs to be present in every class declaring a signal or a slot and moc has to be run on the header file.

Ohh ya I overlooked the fault which Wysota has said.

So Yeap as Wysota has mentioned you have to declare the Q_OBJECT macro in your class to use the signal !!!!

thanks to all for u r reply

You are using the clicked() signal to connect to the slot hi(), but where is the button which after clicking will emit the signal ????

i have subclassed the QPushButton and in the connect function i am using this pointer .ie. the same pushbutton signal is connected to the slot.

The Q_OBJECT macro needs to be present in every class declaring a signal or a slot and moc has to be run on the header file.

it worked after declaring the class in the header file(with Q_OBJECT declaration in it) and defining the class in .cpp file.



but if i do both class declaration and definition in same file ,and even after including the Q_OBJECT macro i am getting the following error.

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

i have defined the class only after the declaration , even then why do i need two files(header and source file, when there is a single class).

Add

#include "main.moc"

#include "main.moc"

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

at the end of main.cpp or put the class declaration in a separate header file. Then, re-run qmake.

hi
its working after including #include "main.moc" at the end.

if i use both header and source file for a class ,then do i dont have to bother about the moc issues.

You will still have to re-run qmake after adding/removing Q_OBJECT macro to update necessary rules in the makefile(s). But you're right, you don't have to include the moc file by hand provided that the header is properly listed in the .pro file.
