connec signal slot in thread problem

[Teerayoot]

Hi i got slot not found that i already declare


class MyReadThread :public QThread{

public:
QTcpSocket *ms;
MyReadThread(QTcpSocket*s){
ms = s;
connect(ms, SIGNAL(readyRead(void)), this, SLOT(on_socket_readyRead(void)));
}
void run(){
qDebug() << "mythread run";

}
private slots:

void on_socket_readyRead(void){
qDebug() << ms->readAll();
}

};
void qtnetwork::on_server_newConnection(void)
{
qDebug() << "new connection";
QTcpSocket *s = sv->nextPendingConnection();

MyReadThread *t = new MyReadThread(s);
t->start();


}
result:


QObject::connect: No such slot QThread::on_socket_readyRead(void) in qtnetwork.cpp:44
connected
mythread run
The thread 0x23a8 has exited with code 0 (0x0).

First MyReadThread class declaration must contain Directive Q_OBJECT.
Second without executing event loop thread will not receive signals from other threads. Method run should looks like :

void run(){
qDebug() << "mythread run";
QThread::run();
}

"t" object lives in the main thread therefore the slot will be executed in the main thread and not in the thread represented by "t". The rest of the code does not make sense either, the socket also lives in the main thread so overall the thread does exactly nothing.

after i add Q_OBJECT to class i get new link error message

i will improve logic later ,now need to solve problem why can't connect signal/slot.


Every Qt generate file are added


I might give up Qt and forgot programming Lol ,my brain can't handle Qt framework so complicate ?

Just a guess but try running qmake, then try to rebuild. If that doesn't work, post your current version of code using the
and tags so that your code is properly formatted.

s->connectToHost("localhost", 80);
connect(s, SIGNAL(connected()), this, SLOT(on_socket_connect(void)));

QByteArray t = s->readAll();
ui.plainTextEdit->appendPlainText("server:"+t);

You are still not using the thread for anything. All your objects live in the main thread. At line 78 you would get a crash if the slot executed in a worker thread. I really suggest you remove the thread completely (just replace QThread with QObject).

As jthomps already said that can be fixed by re-running qmake.
This is only necessary because you added the Q_OBJECT marker after the header had been added to the project.

You can easily avoid this by always putting that marker in class declarations of QObject derived classes.

I also agree with wysota that you are making your life unnecessarily complicated by attempting too many things at once.
Just concentrate on the networking bits and keep threading for a later stage, if you need it at all.
