SIGNALS error....what's wrong?

[jacek]

and this is the signal

void MyDesktop::showMyComputerMenu()
{
 
qDebug("My computer signal activate");
 
}

void MyDesktop::showMyComputerMenu()
{

qDebug("My computer signal activate");

}

You can't implement signals --- moc does this for you.

Well Jacek seems that you raced me to the correct answer ;--)

You see, after posting and a few replies, I rummaged through the docs. I took the character-map example (it had signals) compiled it and voila...it worked....I read through the Signals and Slots section of the docs and they've mentioned it (not in bold...which i feel it should) that you don't implement signals!!

I was slightly taken aback, I grep-ed through the sources and found that you indeed don't implement them....I picked up my qt book and it was just mentioned as a one-liner that 'you don't implement them directly'

i loathe myself ............. i just completely overlooked this concept (to be honest...i never needed to implement signals till date, Qt's inbuilt classed provided me with enough resources. ;-) )

well I am glad that you people are there to help newbies like me....(my designation as an intermediate user has gone to the dumps )

I have highlighted the above in bold so that dimwits like me avoid making the same mistake and wonder what the hell (actually the other 4 letter word ) is wrong!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks a million.

Jacek a special thanks to you though, you've always read through my code (you have, right? ) and given me accurate replies. You, jpn, CBM, wysota (always the first one to spot typographic errors in my post!...he catches those errors which i enter in my post by mistake!) deserve a special thanks...a treat to you guys....buy yourself a cuppa coffee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
