Connecting slots/signals in subclassed form

[qball2k5]

Hey!

I'm trying to connect the buttons on my form to the some slots that I have created in my subclassed form. Basically I'm not sure that the connection is happening to make the actions I need to happen...happen.

Right now it just changes a pixmap from one image to another. Both images are present...but nothing appears to happen here's my code.

Here's the class containing the UI form

#ifndef DECKSIMULATOR_H
#define DECKSIMULATOR_H
 
#include <QtGui/QMainWindow>
 
#include "ui_simulator.h"
 
class DeckSimulator : public QMainWindow
{
    Q_OBJECT
 
public:
    DeckSimulator(QMainWindow *parent = 0);
    ~DeckSimulator();
 
 
private:
    Ui::MainWindow ui;
 
private slots:
    void startpump_TP();
    void stoppump_TP();
    void startpump_DP();
    void stoppump_DP();
    void startpump_ACP();
    void stoppump_ACP();
    void startpump_RP();
    void stoppump_RP();   
};
 
#endif

#ifndef DECKSIMULATOR_H
#define DECKSIMULATOR_H

#include <QtGui/QMainWindow>

#include "ui_simulator.h"

class DeckSimulator : public QMainWindow
{
    Q_OBJECT

public:
    DeckSimulator(QMainWindow *parent = 0);
    ~DeckSimulator();


private:
    Ui::MainWindow ui;
	
private slots:
    void startpump_TP();
    void stoppump_TP();
    void startpump_DP();
    void stoppump_DP();
    void startpump_ACP();
    void stoppump_ACP();
    void startpump_RP();
    void stoppump_RP();   
};

#endif

I've tried setting the text to change...but nothing happens...I've tried the images...nothing happens.

I'm out of ideas!

Is connection available? Can you see some debug message in console?
Try use breakpoint and checkout it

I'm not to bright!

I have had some things defined incorrectly. I had the main calling a ui file directly instead of going through the sub class. I was just moving to fast....no everything works no problem.

Thanks for the quick response...i just needed a tac hammer to the melon!
