    Default QTabWidget problem

    Hi,

    I'm having a problem with QTabWidget
    O/s is Windows, Development environment VS2005, QT version 4.3.4

    I have a QTabWidget called MainNotebook and I'm trying to connect its currentChanged(int index) signal to my private slot void on_PageChange(int new_page);

    This is the connect macro:
    connect(ui.MainNotebook,SIGNAL(currentChanged()),t his,SLOT(on_PageChange()));

    This is the signature of my slot:
    void on_PageChange(int new_page);

    The problem is simple - my slot doesn't seem to ever be called (I put a break point on it to check this was the case). On the other hand, all the other signal/slot connections work OK.

    I'm sure I'm making a really simple mistake here, but I just can't see what!

    Can anyone help, please?

    Does the class declaration contain the required Q_OBJECT macro? Is on_PageChange() declared as slot? QObject::connect() outputs a warning in case establishing the signal slot connection fails, see debug output for more details.

    Yes

    Is on_PageChange() declared as slot?
    Yes - it's declared as a private slot

    QObject::connect() outputs a warning in case establishing the signal slot connection fails, see debug output for more details.
    OK - I just found this amongst all the crud that VS2005 outputs when it's running!

    QMetaObject::connectSlotsByName: No matching signal for on_PageChange(int)

    and then a bit later:

    Object::connect: No such signal QTabWidget::currentChanged()
    Object::connect: (sender name: 'MainNotebook')
    Object::connect: (receiver name: 'EvEditClass')

    I'm still no sure what I'm doing wrong, though - this is the Qt Assistant entry for the signal:

    void QTabWidget::currentChanged ( int index ) [signal]
    This signal is emitted whenever the current page index changes. The parameter is the new current page index position.


    Thanks for your help, anything further would be appreciated, since I still can't see the problem...

    Ahh, indeed. It should be:
    Qt Code:
    1. connect(ui.MainNotebook,SIGNAL(currentChanged(int)),this,SLOT(on_PageChange(int)));
