    Default Connecting two classes with slgnal and slot

    Hi all,

    I am trying to connect two classes with signals and slots but without any luck.

    I have a formSessionList class which has FileName(QString filename) slot and FileVisitor class which has foundFile(QString filename) signal.

    I create an FileVisitor object from formSessionList constructor.

    FileVisitor filevisitor;

    But I can not make a connection between them.

    connect(filevisitor, SIGNAL(foundFile(QString filename)), this, SLOT(FileName(QString filename)));

    I get this error:

    no matching function for call to `formSessionList::connect(FileVisitor&, const char[29], formSessionList* const, const char[28])'

    Does anyone has any idea?

    Tnx,
    Benjamin

    First of all, QObject::connect() takes pointers to the sender and the receiver. So if you allocate the "filevisitor" on the stack, you need to pass "&filevisitor". Secondly, you must not put parameter names inside the SIGNAL() and SLOT() macros. So probably it should be something like this:
    Qt Code:
    1. connect(&filevisitor, SIGNAL(foundFile(QString)), this, SLOT(FileName(QString)));
