Problems launching a window when I press a button

Hello everybody:

I’m learning to code with C++ and QT and I’m having a problem that I can’t solve. I’ll try to explain myself clearly.

I’m working with an example I found, it creates a simple window with several buttons that work ok. I made another window and I want it to appear when button “hacer algo” is clicked.

The code compiles ok and it executes opening the principal window, but I get the following errors in a cmd window:
“Object::connect: No such slot miApVentana::doSomething(argc, argv) in ..\ApVentana\ApVentana.cpp
Object::connect: (sender name: ‘boton_haceralgo’)
Object::connect: (receiver name: ‘ApVentana’)”

It works correctly except that button.

I attach the code, sorry some names and comments are in Spanish but it’s quite clear. I’m having problems uploading the code. I’ll paste it below. I work with Qt SDK 2010.04 on Windows XP.

Thank you very much for your help.

Regards

change this

Code:

---

onnect( boton_haceralgo, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT ( doSomething(argc, argv)));

---

to

Code:

---

onnect( boton_haceralgo, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT ( doSomething()));

---

and

Code:

---

nt miApVentana::doSomething()
{
//QApplication app(argc, argv);
ventanina *dialog = new ventanina;
dialog->show();
//return app.exec();
}

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That worked perfectly.

Thanks again MrDeath
