Newbie: Subclassing QObject

[Jeffb]

Hi
I want to create several classes as subclasses of QObject so that I can use the QPointer smart pointer.

But when I subclass a Contacts class and build the code, I get this error:

"QObject is an inaccessible base of Contacts".

The constructor is simple enough:
Contacts::Contacts()
:QObject()
{

}

What am I missing?

Cheers
Jeff

class Contacts : public QObject
{
  Q_OBJECT
  public:
    Contacts(QObject* parent = 0);
};
 
Contacts::Contacts(QObject* parent) : QObject(parent)
{
  //...
}

class Contacts : public QObject
{
  Q_OBJECT
  public:
    Contacts(QObject* parent = 0);
};

Contacts::Contacts(QObject* parent) : QObject(parent)
{
  //...
}

Hi Lykurg

That didn't help.
Here is the relavant code:

Contacts.h file

#ifndef CONTACTS_H
#define CONTACTS_H

#include <QObject>
#include <QString>

#include "JBObjectTemplate.h"

class Contacts : QObject, JBObjectTemplate
{
Q_OBJECT

public:
Contacts(QObject* parent = 0);
~Contacts();

etc.

Contacts.cpp file

#include "Contacts.h"

Contacts::Contacts(QObject* parent)
:QObject(parent), JBObjectTemplate()
{

}

Contacts::~Contacts()
{

}
etc.

main.cpp file
#include <iostream>
#include <QPointer>
#include "Contacts.h"

using namespace std;

int main()
{
QPointer<Contacts> aContact = new Contacts();
//Contacts *aContact = new Contacts();
aContact->setContactID(2);
etc.

Any help really appreciated.
Thanks, Jeff

Isn't it class Contacts : public QObject, public JBObjectTemplate
instead of class Contacts : QObject, JBObjectTemplate ?

Hi Archimedes

Nice one. Thats it!
It's been over 6 years since I programmed in C++.
The last 6 years has been Objective C which I would have to say is far more elegant.

I can see it's going to take a little while to get myself back up to speed.

Cheers
