trouble with signals and slots

[therealjag]

hey there, i have created a push button inside a tab called demandsTab() and i have connected the button to a method. the method and the connection is shown below:

QPushButton *shortestPathButton = new QPushButton(tr("Shortest Path"));
connect(shortestPathButton, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(PermissionsTab:utputTable()));

the slot function that i created is shown below:

void PermissionsTab:utputTable()
{

int result = 5;
display->setText(QString::number(result));
}

i basically just want the display to output the number 5 in the permissions tab when i press the button from the demands tab, but it isnt working....any idea's??? Jag

Try omitting PermissionsTab:

connect(shortestPathButton, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(outputTable()));

connect(shortestPathButton, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(outputTable()));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

If that does not help build in debug mode and run your app so that you can see the standard (error) output - if your IDE does not support it - from the commandline. Qt will then warn about non-existing signals and slots.

To see those messages on windows console, you will have to add "CONFIG += console" to your .pro file.

i tried adding CONFIG += console to my .pro file but it isnt working, i dont understand why and its really annoying.

Do you have Qt libraries compiled in debug mode? Did you compile your program in debug mode?
