Problem with SpinBox signals and slots

[ramstormrage]

Hello and good day.

Id like to seek help regarding a dialog that doesnt obey its signals and slots connections.
I have this code for the dialog connecting different spinboxes,

connect(mnhSpinBox, SIGNAL(valueChanged(int)), mxhSpinBox, SLOT(setValue(int)));
connect(mnsSpinBox, SIGNAL(valueChanged(int)), mxsSpinBox, SLOT(setValue(int)));

connect(mnhSpinBox, SIGNAL(valueChanged(int)), mxhSpinBox, SLOT(setValue(int)));
connect(mnsSpinBox, SIGNAL(valueChanged(int)), mxsSpinBox, SLOT(setValue(int)));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Now when i build my program, it doesnt fulfill its intended purpose which is to update the value of the other spin box.

BUT, when I connect the signals and slots via the designer it works. Now I have built other dialogs but I didnt encounter any problems like this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S.: Ive read the FAQ about the signals and slots but it didnt help me.

Could you provide a minimal compilable example which reproduces the problem?

Ok. I forgot to tell that I am running QT4 for Windows.
I uploaded two versions,
- in the folder sample contains the .ui file that has no signals set in the designer
- int the folder sample2 contains the .ui file that has signals and slots set in the designer

Thank you for looking into them..

Your code does not use isolateDialog at all. The dialog instantiation is not correct. You should not create QDialog and set Ui::isolateDialog for it. You are to create isolateDialog instead. So remove the following lines:

Ui::isolateDialog ui;
QDialog *dialog = new QDialog;
ui.setupUi(dialog);

Ui::isolateDialog ui;
QDialog *dialog = new QDialog;
ui.setupUi(dialog);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

And just add

isolateDialog *dialog = new isolateDialog;

isolateDialog *dialog = new isolateDialog;

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

You also have a mistake in your dialog .cpp file.

connect(minsatSpinBox, SIGNAL(valueChanged(int)), minhueSpinBox, SLOT(setValue(int)));

connect(minsatSpinBox, SIGNAL(valueChanged(int)), minhueSpinBox, SLOT(setValue(int)));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

must be replaced with

connect(minsatSpinBox, SIGNAL(valueChanged(int)), maxsatSpinBox, SLOT(setValue(int)));

connect(minsatSpinBox, SIGNAL(valueChanged(int)), maxsatSpinBox, SLOT(setValue(int)));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

The reason why your code works when you make connections in QDesigner is that QDesigner connects signals and slots in the constructor of Ui::isolateDialog.

Ok that was very informative.

Thank you very much for the help. I appreciate it.
