I have the following problem. I have several graphics items with clicked signal with pointer to item and one slot at the main form to which I connect those signals. But when I push buttons qt always calls connection with the pointer of the first added button. Did anyone face this problem? I want to add that it is not the first time I'm facing the same strange behavior.

Please post some relevant code.

Signals and slots are connected within the constructor of the class that is not QObject-based.

SchemeColumn::SchemeColumn(QGraphicsScene* scn)
{
Scene = scn;

additembutton = new GraphicsPixmapButton(QPixmap(":/Items/Pixmaps/Add Round.png"));
Scene->addItem(additembutton);
additembutton->setData(SchemeColumns.count() - 1);
connect(additembutton, SIGNAL(clicked(GraphicsButton*)), this, SLOT(column_AddItemButton_clicked(GraphicsButton*) ));

pix.load(":/Scheme/Pixmaps/Loader Box.png");
}

But when I do something like this:

SchemeColumn::SchemeColumn(QGraphicsScene* scn, QObject* parent)
...
parent->connect(...

Everything works ok.
It turns out, that signals and slots should be connected within widgets.

If you need to connect from non-QObject classes or other places (like main function) you can use the syntax: QObject::connect(...)
