Qt Creator: connecting actions trigged to slots

[anda_skoa]

Where do I find the Qt Designer as a stand alone application? I can find a lot of stuff to download on http://www.qt.io/download-open-source/ but there is no explicit link for the designer as far as I can see.

Should be part of the normal Qt installer.
Check the bin directory.

That's what I tried to do first. According to the hierarchy on the top right in QtCreator, I have MainWindow (QMainWindow) ->toolBar (QToolBar) ->actionScan (QAction). So I wrote this line of code:

self.toolBar.actionScan.trigged.connect(scan)

self.toolBar.actionScan.trigged.connect(scan)

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and I got this when I run the code: AttributeError: 'QToolBar' object has no attribute 'actionScan'

All the actions are top level elements themselves, they are then plugged into different UI elements, e.g. toolbars, menus.

OK, I got it working (it hit me I could easily see that by put a debug breakpoint an examine what's going on....)

No trace whatsoever of qt designer as far as I can see... but it does not matter, qt creator works fine.

Thanks!
