Seems like I was using the wrong version of the documentation, sorry about that. Got it working well now, I have one "submaster" widget with my three buttons, a slider, and a spinbox. I connected the slots between the slider and spinbox so that they display eachother's values.

What I now need to do is create a tabwidget that can be filled automatically with these Submaster Widgets.. 18 to a tab. I'd like it so that when the user clicks "Button 1" in "Widget 2", the tab widget will emit something like "Widget2,Button1 pressed".

Would the best way to do this be to make a QSignalMapper for each button (so all of the "Button1"s would go to one mapper), or should I have one QSignalMapper for each SubmasterWidget, which then goes into Another QSignalMapper for the TabWidget-- or is this even possible?

Also: Is there anyway to pass a value through a signal mapper? I have a signal being emitted when my slider-value is changed, but I'm not quite sure how to process it.

Thank you for your help!
