QProcess disconnect trouble

[wally]

Thanks for the tip, I will try that out instead of using process->kill().

That still does not, however, address the issue with the signals not being disconnected.

Any ideas?

You can't write formal parameters in SIGNAL macro neither in connect nor in dosconnect. See program output in 'Output' window in Studio. Wrong calling of connect/disconnect writes there a message

I haven't seen any problems in the output. I'm also not sure what you mean by formal parameters. Do you mean defining the variable name in the function like:

SIGNAL(error(QProcess::ProcessError error))

SIGNAL(error(QProcess::ProcessError error))

I know that this will not work and the signals I have defined do not define the value "error" I know that the SIGNALS are connected as they will enter the slot. I corrected this error from my first post.

Either way, calling process->disconnect() should disconnect all the sender object and all signals from all receiver objects and slots.

I've even tried calling

process->blockSignals(true);
process->kill();
process->blockSignals(false);

process->blockSignals(true);
process->kill();
process->blockSignals(false);

and my slots still get entered.

Any one have any other ideas as to why my signals are not getting disconnected?

I think QtCentre's moving to a new host may have ruined the code tags in my initial post. So that everyone is clear:
I've connected my signals to my process in the Dialog's constructor like this (and I have verified that they are connected):

process = new QProcess();
connect(process, SIGNAL(error(QProcess::ProcessError)), this, SLOT(handleProcessError(QProcess::ProcessError)));
connect(process, SIGNAL(finished(int, QProcess::ExitStatus )), this, SLOT(handleProcessFinish(int, QProcess::ExitStatus)));

process = new QProcess();
connect(process, SIGNAL(error(QProcess::ProcessError)), this, SLOT(handleProcessError(QProcess::ProcessError)));
connect(process, SIGNAL(finished(int, QProcess::ExitStatus )), this, SLOT(handleProcessFinish(int, QProcess::ExitStatus)));

When pushing the stop button, I want to kill the process with QProcess::kill(). When the process is killed, naturally, the handleProcessError slot gets called and I do not want this. I wanted to disable this by using:

disconnect(process, SIGNAL(error(QProcess::ProcessError)), 0, 0);
disconnect(process, SIGNAL(finished(int exitCode, QProcess::ExitStatus)), 0,0);
process->kill();

disconnect(process, SIGNAL(error(QProcess::ProcessError)), 0, 0);
disconnect(process, SIGNAL(finished(int exitCode, QProcess::ExitStatus)), 0,0);
process->kill();

I've also tried calling:

process->disconnect();
process->kill();

process->disconnect();
process->kill();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

in an attempt to blindly disconnect everything.

the slots, handleProcessError and handleProcessFinish are still being called.
