Slot not working

[dayrinni]

Hello, I am writing a qt program in VS 6.0.

I have a window with a button on it. When the button is pressed it will create a file dialog box. I have placed the window and wrote the code to hopefully do this. I have the class that contains the slot.

class Panel : public QWidget
{
 
	public:
		Panel(QWidget *parent = 0, QObject *app = 0);
		...methods
 
	private slots:
		void openFieldDialog();
 
	private:
		...variables
};

class Panel : public QWidget
{

	public:
		Panel(QWidget *parent = 0, QObject *app = 0);
		...methods

	private slots:
		void openFieldDialog();

	private:
		...variables
};

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Here is the code for the slot:

void Panel::openFieldDialog()
{
        ...code
}

void Panel::openFieldDialog()
{
        ...code
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Here is the line where I use the connect for it:

QPushButton *loadFile = new QPushButton("Load File", mainFrame);
//this = Panel
QObject::connect(loadFile, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(Panel::openFieldDialog()));

QPushButton *loadFile = new QPushButton("Load File", mainFrame);
//this = Panel
QObject::connect(loadFile, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(Panel::openFieldDialog()));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I then compile and build in VS 6.0 and run the program. Nothing happens when I click on the button and on the console window that appears this is seen (it is present before I click):
Object::connect: No such slot QWidget::Panel:penFieldDialog()

I have tried numerous other things, such as openFieldDialog() instead of Panel::..., etc.

Any ideas?

Thank you!!

PS:

Also is there a way to get qmake to work with the makefile for VS 6.0? I'd rather to have all of my compiling done with 1 thing.

Whenever you have either signal or slot used in a class you need to add the Q_OBJECT macro.

Your class should be something like

class Panel : public QWidget
{
 
Q_OBJECT
 
public:
    Panel(QWidget *parent = 0, QObject *app = 0);
     ...methods
private slots:
        void openFieldDialog();
private:
     ...variables
};

class Panel : public QWidget
{

Q_OBJECT

public:
    Panel(QWidget *parent = 0, QObject *app = 0);
     ...methods
private slots:
        void openFieldDialog();
private:
     ...variables
};

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Hmm, I cannot compile if Q_OBJECT is in present in VS 6.0.

I haven't figured out how to make it work with VS 6.0. Do you know how I can incorprate the qmake into VS ?

This might help

You might want to remove the namespace ("Panel::") from the slot name. I'm not sure if the slot normaliser is able to accept that as a proper slot name. You still have to provide Q_OBJECT of course...

If you are using VS 6.0

Do you have the Qt plugins installed.

If so
Open the header file and click on the moc tool button, This will add a moc_filename.cpp to the project.
