Slot/Signal mechanism and inheritance

[cpt-nil]

Hi,

I have a general question regarding the slot/signal mechanism and inheritance:
I have an application with a Qt-based GUI that shall have at least 4 components running in dedicated threads. I do not subclass QThread but use the moveToThread() approach
For interrupt handling issues I added a base class for the thread_worker objects where the interrupt handling is implemented:

class AbstractThreadWorker : public QObject
{
Q_OBJECT
// ...
// ...
public slots:
void OnInterruptRequested(int id);
signals:
void thread_interrupted(int id);

}

...is it possible to use the connect() method (in the main thread) on the base class (one connect for all therad workers) or do I have to connect these signals/slots for each sub classed (i.e. ThreadWortker that inherits from AbstractThreadWorker) ThreadWorker?
Regards

If you are creating unique AbstractThreadWorker instance for each thread, then you need to connect() each one of them. You do not connect a class, you connect an instance of a class.
