action -> slot in Qt Designer

[yuriry]

I create actions in Qt Designer 4.3.4 and then write code to connect them to standard slots, like close():

connect(m_form.action_Quit, SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SLOT(close()));

connect(m_form.action_Quit, SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SLOT(close()));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Would it be possible to create such connections in Qt Designer?

Yes, with the Signal/Slot Editor (see Tools-menu).

Thank you J-P Nurmi.

I created a fake connection because I could not connect an action with the widget directly. Then I re-defined the connection in Signal/Slot Editor. Is this the right way to do it?

I'm not sure if it's possible to create such connections on the form in the signal-slot editing mode, but I created it directly in the signal-slot editor by clicking "+" and choosing the parameters.

Thank you! I did not notice the plus sign
