Slot does not run because you use connect incorrectly.

Qt Code:
  1. ui.pushButton->connect(ui.pushButton,SIGNAL(clicked()),ui.comboB ox_3,SLOT(browse()));
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

is not good.

Please see the examples.

I also do not understand slot browse() of comboBox_3. According to your code, this should be MainWindow, as thats where browse lives?
