signal / slot problem

[franco.amato]

Hi I have the setCurrentTime() slot in my class::QWidges so:

class WaveWidget : public QWidget
{
Q_OBJECT

public:
WaveWidget( QWidget* parent = 0 );
void setSoundFile( QString soundName_ );
void setWave( SoundData* );
void playSound();
qreal currentTime() const;

public slots:
void setCurrentTime();// <---- THIS ONE

protected:
/* paint event */
virtual void paintEvent( QPaintEvent* event );
/* resize event */
virtual void resizeEvent ( QResizeEvent* event );
/* mouse events */
virtual void mousePressEvent( QMouseEvent* event );
virtual void mouseMoveEvent( QMouseEvent* event );
virtual void mouseReleaseEvent( QMouseEvent* event );
virtual void keyPressEvent( QKeyEvent* event );

private:
void updateWave();

//QPixmap m_waveCachePixmap;
QImage m_waveCachePixmap;
SoundData* m_wave;

/* starting point of selection */
QPoint startSelection;
/* rubberBand */
WfRubberBand* rb;
/* current position of timeline */
qreal m_CurrentTime;
QTimer* timer;
};

In the ctor I connect it with the timeout signal of a timer so:

WaveWidget::WaveWidget( QWidget* parent /* = 0 */ )
: QWidget( parent ),
m_wave( 0 ),
rb( 0 )
{
setFocusPolicy( Qt::TabFocus );
timer = new QTimer();

connect( timer, SIGNAL( timeout() ), this, SLOT( setCurrentTime() ) );
}

and the slot code is so:

void WaveWidget::setCurrentTime()
{
static int i = 0;
qDebug() << i++; // only for test
}

The compile process is OK meanwhile when I run the app I always get a console error:

QObject::connect: No such slot WaveWidget::setCurrentTime()

Where my cose is wrong?

Help me please,
Best

Try running make clean, qmake and make again.

[Lykurg]

I guess you added the slot later, so please make a complete "make clean" on your directory and rebuild your application. Then all should work fine.


Edit: Damn, too late:D

I work with visual studio under windows

I gave clean, rebuild all under visual studio and it still doesn't work.

And? Then clean manually all generated files *.o moc files etc. and rebuild.

[franco.amato]

I again rebuilded and now I didn't get the error but the code of the slot is not executed

[wysota]

Did you tell your visual studio to run moc on the header file and compile code generated by it?

[franco.amato]

Yes I have custom rules on the .h file and I link the generated .cpp file...
I can not see at console the qDebug output

[Lykurg]

I can not see at console the qDebug output

That's because you didn't start the timer?

Yes I start the timer when I press space so:


/************************************************** **********************/
/* key press event */
/************************************************** **********************/
void WaveWidget::keyPressEvent( QKeyEvent* pe )
{
if(!m_wave)
{
qDebug("Sound not loaded");
pe->ignore();
return;
}

switch( pe->key() )
{
case Qt::Key_P:
{
// pause/unpause the sound
pe->accept();
bool playing;
m_wave->getCurrentChannel()->isPlaying( &playing );
if(playing == false)
{
qDebug("Sound loaded but channel not ready");
break;
}
else
{
bool paused;
m_wave->getCurrentChannel()->getPaused( &paused );
m_wave->getCurrentChannel()->setPaused( !paused );
}

break;
}
case Qt::Key_Space:
{
pe->accept();
m_wave->playSound( 0, 0 );
break;
}
default:
QWidget::keyPressEvent(pe);
break;
}
}

and


void WaveWidget::playSound()
{
qDebug() << "something";
m_wave->playSound( 0, 0 );
timer->start(100);
}

The strange thing is that I can not see the output of qDebug in the playSound. Seems disabled

[franco.amato]

I discovered the error. Was my mistake.

Thank you

You don't start the timer! Because you don't call startSound of you widget, you are calling the function of m_wave! That are two different functions!

Yes you're right.
Thank you Lykurg I solved it.
