Yes, if these 2 classes are derived from QObject (or from something, which is based on QObject).

QObject::connect(<ptr to signaling class>, SIGNAL( someSignal() ), <ptr to slot class>, SLOT( someSlot() ) );

actually i tried connecting two classes through custom signals and custom slots, one class was inheriting QWidget and the other was inheriting QGLWidget... but the connection was not working... now,is such a connection possible...??? if no please suggest some other alternative... thanks...

Yes, it is possible. Just make sure that both class declarations contain required Q_OBJECT macro and that you declare signals and slots properly. Take a look at the debug output. QObject::connect() outputs a detailed warning when it fails to establish signal-slot connection.
