Hi everyone!

I am having trouble with conneting two signals.
I have WindowsMenu and there is PlotBackgroundMenuinside.
BackgroundColorChanged(CPlotBackgroundMenu::Backgr oundColor color) signal is emited in PlotColorMenu (Color is enum) when one of the menu's actions is trigged.

I did following in WindowMenu:


void CWindowsMenu::makeConnections()
{
connect(PlotBackgroundMenu,SIGNAL(BackgroundColorC hanged(CPlotBackgroundMenu::BackgroundColor)),
this,SIGNAL(BackColorChanged(CPlotBackgroundMenu:: BackgroundColor)));
}


and I called makeConnections() in WindowMenu constractor.


Then I used the signal BackColorChanged in MainWindow to connect it with the slot to actually change the color.

It didn't work.

What am I missing?

P.S. I read QWidget references and searched for examples, still don't get it :(

Thank you!

It didn't work.

What didn't work?

The MainWindow slot didn't get invoked?

The background color didn't change?

The WindowMenu signal wasn't emitted in the first place?

You've shown us 5 lines of code out of what is obviously a multi-step signal / slot handling sequence. Why do you assume that something is wrong with the connect statement? The error could be anywhere in the code you aren't showing us.

Post a minimal example that demonstrates the problem, and we might be able to help you find what is wrong.
