QTcpSocket connected signal problem

[probine]

I have a QTcpSocket that connects to a server.

I instantiate the tcpSocket, and connectToHost.

Everything is fine, then the "connected" signal should be emitted, but it is not.

tcpSocket->connectToHost(QHostAddress("localhost"), quint16(35310));
  connect(tcpSocket, SIGNAL(connected()), this, SLOT(connectedToServer()));
  connect(tcpSocket, SIGNAL(readyRead()), this, SLOT(read()));
  connect(tcpSocket, SIGNAL(disconnected()), this, SLOT(disconnected()));

tcpSocket->connectToHost(QHostAddress("localhost"), quint16(35310));
  connect(tcpSocket, SIGNAL(connected()), this, SLOT(connectedToServer()));
  connect(tcpSocket, SIGNAL(readyRead()), this, SLOT(read()));
  connect(tcpSocket, SIGNAL(disconnected()), this, SLOT(disconnected()));

What is wrong ?
Why the "connected" signal is emitted when I close the window ?

We'd have to see more code to be able to answer that... Maybe you're blocking the flow somewhere?

Sure, might not be the case in this one, but it is generally a good idea to create the signal-slot connection first and invoke the method emitting signals afterwards..

In this case the connectToHost() is not blocking, and the socket actually starts connecting as soon as it's invoked. If the connection is fast enough, you can easily miss a state change or two (during the beginning of the connection).

But why then does he get the "connected" signal later when he closes the dialog? Of course your remark is true, but I doubt that's the thing causing trouble in this particular situation.
