connect

[mickey]

hi, why do I have this console error?? thanks

//my is a pointer to MainForm class
//I'm inside MyWidget constructor
connect (my->pushButton21, SIGNAL (pressed()), this, SLOT (mySlot()) );
QObject::connect: Cannot connect (null)::pressed() to MyWidget::mySlot()

//my is a pointer to MainForm class
//I'm inside MyWidget constructor
connect (my->pushButton21, SIGNAL (pressed()), this, SLOT (mySlot()) );
QObject::connect: Cannot connect (null)::pressed() to MyWidget::mySlot()

Maybe because my->pushButton21 is null?

[mickey]

ok. but why is it null? button21 is a button of mainform; how do I use it?

How do you create that "my" object? Maybe you create MyWidget before you initialize button21?

hi, I don't understand qaht you want say.....the situation is this..

MyWidget::MyWidget( QWidget *parent, const char *name, const QGLWidget* shareWidget)
        :  QGLWidget ( parent, name, shareWidget){			
	 my = (myMainForm*) this->topLevelWidget();
         connect (w->pushButton21, SIGNAL (pressed()), this, SLOT (myStartTimer()) );	
}

MyWidget::MyWidget( QWidget *parent, const char *name, const QGLWidget* shareWidget)
        :  QGLWidget ( parent, name, shareWidget){			
	 my = (myMainForm*) this->topLevelWidget();
         connect (w->pushButton21, SIGNAL (pressed()), this, SLOT (myStartTimer()) );	
}

Could you post myMainForm constructor?

[mickey]

do u want this?

myMainForm::myMainForm( QWidget* parent, const char* name, WFlags fl )
    : MainForm( parent, name, fl )
{
..............
}

myMainForm::myMainForm( QWidget* parent, const char* name, WFlags fl )
    : MainForm( parent, name, fl )
{
..............
}

do u want this?

Yes, do you initialize pushButton21 there?

[mickey]

Yes, do you initialize pushButton21 there?

what do you mean? I insert butt21 from designer....

[jacek]

I insert butt21 from designer....

In that case maybe this is wrong:

my = (myMainForm*) this->topLevelWidget();

my = (myMainForm*) this->topLevelWidget();

What happens when you use dynamic_cast?

my = dynamic_cast< myMainForm*>( topLevelWidget() );
Q_CHECK_PTR( my );

my = dynamic_cast< myMainForm*>( topLevelWidget() );
Q_CHECK_PTR( my );

[mickey]

a rutime error!!! and application is closed...
and without casting (my way) Q_CHECK_PTR( my ); doens't get any arror...
but my is:

myMainForm* my;

myMainForm* my;
