connect

[mickey]

hi, why do I have this console error?? thanks

//my is a pointer to MainForm class
//I'm inside MyWidget constructor
connect (my->pushButton21, SIGNAL (pressed()), this, SLOT (mySlot()) );
QObject::connect: Cannot connect (null)::pressed() to MyWidget::mySlot()

//my is a pointer to MainForm class
//I'm inside MyWidget constructor
connect (my->pushButton21, SIGNAL (pressed()), this, SLOT (mySlot()) );
QObject::connect: Cannot connect (null)::pressed() to MyWidget::mySlot()

Maybe because my->pushButton21 is null?

[mickey]

ok. but why is it null? button21 is a button of mainform; how do I use it?

How do you create that "my" object? Maybe you create MyWidget before you initialize button21?

hi, I don't understand qaht you want say.....the situation is this..

MyWidget::MyWidget( QWidget *parent, const char *name, const QGLWidget* shareWidget)
        :  QGLWidget ( parent, name, shareWidget){			
	 my = (myMainForm*) this->topLevelWidget();
         connect (w->pushButton21, SIGNAL (pressed()), this, SLOT (myStartTimer()) );	
}

MyWidget::MyWidget( QWidget *parent, const char *name, const QGLWidget* shareWidget)
        :  QGLWidget ( parent, name, shareWidget){			
	 my = (myMainForm*) this->topLevelWidget();
         connect (w->pushButton21, SIGNAL (pressed()), this, SLOT (myStartTimer()) );	
}

Could you post myMainForm constructor?

[mickey]

do u want this?

myMainForm::myMainForm( QWidget* parent, const char* name, WFlags fl )
    : MainForm( parent, name, fl )
{
..............
}

myMainForm::myMainForm( QWidget* parent, const char* name, WFlags fl )
    : MainForm( parent, name, fl )
{
..............
}

[jacek]

do u want this?

Yes, do you initialize pushButton21 there?

[mickey]

Yes, do you initialize pushButton21 there?

what do you mean? I insert butt21 from designer....

[jacek]

I insert butt21 from designer....

In that case maybe this is wrong:

my = (myMainForm*) this->topLevelWidget();

my = (myMainForm*) this->topLevelWidget();

What happens when you use dynamic_cast?

my = dynamic_cast< myMainForm*>( topLevelWidget() );
Q_CHECK_PTR( my );

my = dynamic_cast< myMainForm*>( topLevelWidget() );
Q_CHECK_PTR( my );

[mickey]

a rutime error!!! and application is closed...
and without casting (my way) Q_CHECK_PTR( my ); doens't get any arror...
but my is:

myMainForm* my;

myMainForm* my;

This means that topLevelWidget() might return some other widget than myMainForm.

hi, using that bellow

myw = (myMainForm*) this->topLevelWidget();

myw = (myMainForm*) this->topLevelWidget();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

it print the follow pointer

my_mainfom in myWidget 0012E388
 mainfom this in MainForm 0012E388
 my_mainfom this in myMainForm 0012E388

my_mainfom in myWidget 0012E388
 mainfom this in MainForm 0012E388
 my_mainfom this in myMainForm 0012E388

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

so myw in MyWidget point to mainForm.....have you any idea? thanks

if you created the window in the designer you have to call setupUi( this ); first thing in your classes constructor. Afterwards your pushbutton should exist and you can try to connect it.

He's using Qt3, there is no such thing as setupUi() there.

ooops. sorry, hadn't realized that.
