signal not getting communicated to slot

[zlatko]

Have you declare Q_OBJECT in header file ?

[quickNitin]

yes i had done that, if you want i can put header file code also

[munna]

In the header file did you put the signals after

signals:

and the slots after

private slots:

or

public slots:

[quickNitin]

Here is my header file for Cock class

#ifndef Cock_H
#define Cock_H

//QT4 includes
#include <QObject>
#include<QPainter>
//QGIS includes
#include <qgisapp.h>
#include "../qgisplugin.h"


class QToolBar;

class Cockublic QObject, public QgisPlugin
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
Cock(QgisApp * theApplication, QgisIface * theInterface);
//! Destructor
virtual ~Cock();
public slots:
virtual void initGui();
void run();
void unload();
void help();
void renderCock(QPainter *thePainter);
void setEnabled(bool);
void refreshCanvas();
void projectRead();
void drawRasterLayer(QString);
void drawVectorLayer(QString,QString,QString);

private:

bool mEnable;
int mPluginType;
//! Pointer to our toolbar
QToolBar *mToolBarPointer;
//! Pionter to QGIS main application object
QgisApp *mQGisApp;
//! Pointer to the QGIS interface object
QgisIface *mQGisIface;
//!pointer to the qaction for this plugin
QAction * mQActionPointer;


};

#endif //Cock_H

Are you sure that you are emitting the signal in the correct manner?

Can we see that part of the code as well?

[zlatko]

also use CODE tags becouse we see only some abracadabra

[quickNitin]

This is the code where i am generating signals. It is in pbnOk_clicked() slot.



#include "cockgui.h"

//qt includes

//standard includes

CockGui::CockGui() : CockGuiBase()
{
setupUi(this);
}

CockGui::CockGui( QWidget* parent, Qt::WFlags fl )
: QDialog ( parent, fl )
{
setupUi(this);
}
CockGui::~CockGui()
{
}

void CockGui:bnOK_clicked()
{
//
// If you have a produced a raster layer using your plugin, you can ask qgis to
// add it to the view using:
// emit drawRasterLayer(QString("layername"));
// or for a vector layer
// emit drawVectorLayer(QString("pathname"),QString("layer name"),QString("provider name (either ogr or postgres"));
//
//close the dialog
hide();
emit enableCock(cBoxAllow->isChecked());
emit enableCockAgain(cBoxAgain->isChecked());
emit needToRefresh();
done(1);
}
void CockGui:bnCancel_clicked()
{
close(1);
}
void CockGui::setBox(bool theBool)
{
cBoxAllow->setChecked(theBool);
}


i couldn't perceive the meaning of CODE tags. Do you want some explanation about what i am trying to achieve.
What i am trying to do is to design a plugin for QGIS( open source map viewer) aiming to display a cock to show direction of wind. I generated form using designer. After that i added my functionality to it. class CockGui handles interaction of logic to dialog and class Cock implements that logic.
I have similar code working there but i don't know what mistake i make here . Ijust couldn't make it out.
mEnable is a boolean flag which tells plugin to whether to display cock or not. mEnable is set by a slot setBox(bool) (code for it already there). setBox(bool) slot is connected to signal generated in accordance with state of checkboxes.

i think i have tried to explain my motive. Anything more required please instruct me.

i couldn't perceive the meaning of CODE tags.

Write

"["CODE"]"

Your code. Use the tags without " "

"["/CODE"]"

is pbnOk_clicked() slot called eveytime the button is clicked ?

[quickNitin]

yes. I will recheck it but i am confident about it.

[quickNitin]

thanks man, i think u r right but i am not still sure. While creating dialog i fromed a connection between a slot accept and OK button. I am trying to rectify it now.
any advices are welcome

[munna]

Can we see the code where you make the connection ?

[quickNitin]

i am putting in constructor of CockGui code

connect(pbnOK,SIGNAL(clicked()),this,SLOT(pbnOK_cl icked()));
