setAlignment does not work again

[giusepped]

I am trying to align the text inside a QTextEdit.
At bound the action menu to the setAlignment() slot of QTextEdit.
But at runtime, besides the fact that no alignment takes place, I got the errors:

Object::connect: No such slot QTextEdit::setAlignment(Qt::AlignRight)

and so on.
The signla/slot binding is:


connect(act_alignright, SIGNAL(triggered(bool)), textEdit,SLOT(setAlignment(Qt::AlignRight)));

Any reply will be very appreciated

first of all it won't work because

The signals and slots mechanism is type safe: The signature of a signal must match the signature of the receiving slot.

so it's the reason why you get error

Don't understan:
the slot setAlignement is a slot of textEdit and act_alignright is a signal of a menu.
What am I missing?

I solved. It seems the it's enough to call a callback from the connect function:

connect(act_alignright, SIGNAL(triggered(bool)), this, SLOT(right()));
connect(act_alignleft, SIGNAL(triggered(bool)), this, SLOT(left()));
connect(act_aligncenter, SIGNAL(triggered(bool)), this, SLOT(center()));


And then use setAlignment inside the callback.

connect(act_alignright, SIGNAL(triggered(bool)), // <---this is bool
textEdit,SLOT(setAlignment(Qt::AlignRight))); // <--this is not a bool, it is also a value and not a variable

connect(act_alignright, SIGNAL(triggered(bool)), // <---this is bool
textEdit,SLOT(setAlignment(Qt::AlignRight))); // <--this is not a bool, it is also a value and not a variable
