Qt Creator - signals/slots problem

[ctote]

Hey everyone,

I'm using QtCreator to design my project. I need to send a datagram every 5 seconds out of a udpSocket. What i'm trying to do is this: When a user clicks the Enable button, it starts a timer - every 5 seconds the datagram is sent out the updSocket.

Here's my code -

void jaus::startBroadcasting()
{
    connect(timer, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(sendDatagram()));
    ui->enableButton->setText("Disable");
    ui->enableButton->setEnabled(false);
    timer->start(5000);
}
 
void jaus::sendDatagram()
{
    QByteArray message = "Hello.";
    udpSocket->writeDatagram(message, QHostAddress::LocalHost, 9000);
}

void jaus::startBroadcasting()
{
    connect(timer, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(sendDatagram()));
    ui->enableButton->setText("Disable");
    ui->enableButton->setEnabled(false);
    timer->start(5000);
}

void jaus::sendDatagram()
{
    QByteArray message = "Hello.";
    udpSocket->writeDatagram(message, QHostAddress::LocalHost, 9000);
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I have the Enable button anchored to the startBroadcasting() slot. But when I click the button, the program blows up -- it doesn't do that when I take out the connect command and the timer->start() command.

Thanks for any help
