XYZ tracker for QwtPlotSpectrogram

[epsilon]

Hi,
I am trying to display the x,y coordinates and the z value under the mouse for a QwtSpectrogram. I have a made simple class derived from QwtPlotPicker to do this, I tried to copy the way QwtPlotPicker derives from QwtPicker, however I have failed, it will not link properly! It must be some simple C++ ism that I don't understand, I am hoping someone can point out my error, or point me to an existing class that already does this!?!

Thank you.
Eric

The compiler warns me about:

QWT_EXPORT is for classes of the Qwt library only. Don't use it in classes of the application.

Thanks Uwe, that did the trick.
