"no matching function for call to 'UserCreationDialog::Connect(..."

[Leutzig]

Hi,

I have two classes, UserConfiguration and UserCreationDialog, in my C++ Qt Project. I need to make a connection between a signal from UserCreationDialog, when OK button is pressed and the slot update() in UserConfiguration. The connection is seen in my code below. But when I build, I get the error:

"[...] usercreationdialog.cpp:13: error: no matching function for call to 'UserCreationDialog::connect(UserCreationDialog*, const char*, UserConfiguration**, const char*)'     connect(this, SIGNAL(updateUserConfig()),&uconf,SLOT(update()));"

"[...] usercreationdialog.cpp:13: error: no matching function for call to 'UserCreationDialog::connect(UserCreationDialog*, const char*, UserConfiguration**, const char*)'     connect(this, SIGNAL(updateUserConfig()),&uconf,SLOT(update()));"

"uconf" already is a pointer, the & in your connect() call makes it a pointer to a pointer.
