updating text in QTextEdit [SOLVED]

Hi
I want to update the text in a QTextEdit upon the occurance of a specific event. Following is the snapshot of my application

Code:

---

QTextEdit *metaDataText;                   // this is the text box to be updated
 
Window::Window(QWidget *parent) : QWidget(parent) {      // constructor for the main window class
               metaDataText = new QTextEdit;                           // initializing the text box 
               metaDataText->setText(MetaData::returnMetaData());      // puttin in initial values
}

---

I want to display when the text in the MetaData class changes.
So when the text changes in the MetaData class, a signal (triggerMetaDataUpdate) is issued, for which a slot is present in the window class as given below:

Code:

---

void Window::triggerMetaDataUpdate(){             // slot for the signal
	metaDataText->setText(MetaData::returnMetaData());         // call to update, which does not update:(
	update();
}

---

but this thing does not update the text in the QTextEdit.

can someone please help me do this correctly?

thanks

Can you verify that the slot indeed gets called and that MetaData::returnMetaData() returns changed data?

its solved. sorry for bothering.


there was some error in receiving the signal.
