Main:
h:
public slots:
	void handleEmit();


cpp:
MyComponent *myComponent = new MyComponent();
	bool res = QObject::connect(myComponent, SIGNAL(myFirstSignal()), this, SLOT(handleEmit()));
	Q_ASSERT(res);
	Q_UNUSED(res);

void Main::handleEmit()
{
	//do something
}


MyComponent:
h:
class MyComponent
{
	signals:
	    void myFirstSignal();

};


cpp:
MyComponent::MyComponent()
{
	//EMIT THE SIGNAL
	emit myFirstSignal();
}

I'm trying to emit a signal from a class (myComponent) to my Main app but am not having much luck, I've followed the tutorial on signals and slots but it still doesnt work. Am I missing something?

Thanks

i don't know if this is the way signals should be called but for me it works fine:

in the .h file

signals:
     void myFirstSignal();

 and at the point you want to send the signal:

this->myFirstSignal();

[JeffLemon]

The correct way is:

emit myFirstSignal();

This line for me is causing the problems:

bool res = QObject::connect(myComponent, SIGNAL(myFirstSignal()), this, SLOT(handleEmit()));

[somedeveloperguy]

i changed it in my code and it still works fine.

and i changed my connect method to match yours but it still works fine.

do you get an error or anything?

[JeffLemon]

no matching function for call to 'QObject::connect(MyComponent&, const char*, MyApp* const, const char*)'

Are you calling your signal from a  seperate class like me?

[somedeveloperguy]

yes i do.

the only difference I can see at the moment is that your classes don't extend another class and mine do

and connect expects a QObject for sender and receiver

and I don't have enough knollege about Qt to know for sure if a class automaticly extends QObject.

[JeffLemon]

Could you do me a favour and post your class so I can take a look at it?

Thanks!

Hi.

Did you read this already ?

I tried to filter my code for the usefull parts

MainWidget.h:

class MainWidget : public QWidget
{
    Q_OBJECT

public:
    explicit MainWidget(QWidget *parent = 0);
    ~MainWidget();

public slots:
    void handleButton2();
    void setValues(QString s);

private:
    Ui::MainWidget *ui;
};

MainWidget.cpp:

MainWidget::MainWidget(QWidget *parent) :
    QWidget(parent),
    ui(new Ui::MainWidget)
{
    //deze methoden creëerd een frame aan de hand van een xml file
    ui->setupUi(this);

    //een actie aan een knop hangen
    connect(ui->pushButton_2, SIGNAL(pressed()), this, SLOT(handleButton2()));
}

void MainWidget::handleButton2(){
    QVector<QString> *waarden = new QVector<QString>();
    waarden->insert(waarden->size(), QString("man"));
    waarden->insert(waarden->size(), QString("vrouw"));
    radioButtonPopup *hoi = new radioButtonPopup();
    hoi->addData(ui->label_3->text(), waarden);
    hoi->exec();
    bool res = QObject::connect(hoi, SIGNAL(done(QString)), this, SLOT(setValues(QString)));
}

void MainWidget::setValues(QString s){
    ui->label_6->setText(s);
}

radioButtonPopup.h:

class radioButtonPopup : public QDialog
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    explicit radioButtonPopup(QWidget *parent = 0);
    void addData(QString question, QVector<QString> *possible);
    QString convertInt(int i);

signals:
     void done(QString choise);

public slots:
     void choisesMade();
};

radioButtonPopup.cpp:

radioButtonPopup::radioButtonPopup(QWidget *parent) :
    QDialog(parent)
{
    //layout voor de dialog aanmaken
    layoutGrid = new QVBoxLayout;
    setLayout(layoutGrid);
}

void radioButtonPopup::addData(QString question, QVector<QString> *possible){
    //label om de vraag in te zetten
    QLabel *vraag = new QLabel(question);
    layoutGrid->addWidget(vraag);

    //is nodig om te zorgen dat de lijst weer leeg. anders krijg je bij opnieuw invullen ook de vorige data erbij
    buttons->clear();

    //checkbox vector vullen met de radiobuttons door middel van een loop
    for(int i = 0 ; i < possible->size() ; i++){
        QRadioButton *c = new QRadioButton(possible->at(i));
        buttons->insert(buttons->size(), c);
        layoutGrid->addWidget(c);
    }

    //een knopje op een layout zetten zodat deze tevoorschijn komt
    QPushButton *p = new QPushButton("ok");
    layoutGrid->addWidget(p);
    connect(p, SIGNAL(pressed()), this, SLOT(choisesMade()));
}

void radioButtonPopup::choisesMade(){
    QString s = "";
    for(int i = 0 ; i < buttons->size() ; i++){
        if(buttons->value(i)->isChecked()){
            s = buttons->value(i)->text();
            break;
        }
    }
    emit done(s);
    this->setVisible(false);
    this->close();
}
