    Default How to declare SLOT as a parameter to member function?

    How can I pass slot as a parameter to class member function and then call "connect"?
    Below is the sketch of what I am trying to do. What is the proper way to pass the slot to a member function to be later passed as a parameter to "connect"?

    class A
    {
    private slot:
    void DoSmth() {}; // slot declaration
    public:
    A()
    {
    Connector(&A::DoSmth); //I am trying to pass the slot as function pointer
    }
    void Connector(void (A::*p) ()) // what is the right way to declare the function with slot as a parameter?
    {
    connect (....SLOT(p)); // compiles, but does not work. Apparently I am doing smth. wrong.
    }
    }

    In Qt, signals and slots are const char*. You can do it like this, for example:

    Qt Code:
    1. void connectSlot(const char* slot) {
    2. connect(this, SIGNAL(something(int)), this, slot);
    3. }
    4.  
    5. connectSlot(SLOT(somethingElse(int)));
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Function pointers don't work, because SLOT is a macro that uses the text you place in it.

    You can also do this using the new Qt connect system by passing function pointers

    Qt Code:
    Qt Code:
    1. void Class:connectSlot( void(Class::* slotName )() )
    2. {
    3. connect( this, &Class::noParamSignal, this, slotName );
    4. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
