here is what i have, just doing some test to get familiar with QT Creator. This compiles but when I click one of the buttons the clicked signal does not trigger. Any Ideas?

Qt Code: 
  1. #ifndef MAINWINDOW_H
  2. #define MAINWINDOW_H
  3.  
  4. #include <QtGui/QMainWindow>
  5. #include <QtGui>
  6. #include <QGridLayout>
  7. #include <QSignalMapper>
  8.  
  9. namespace Ui {
  10.     class MainWindow;
  11. }
  12.  
  13. class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
  14. {
  15.     Q_OBJECT
  16.  
  17. public:
  18.     explicit MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0);
  19.     ~MainWindow();
  20.  
  21. signals:
  22.      void clicked(const QString &text);
  23.  
  24. protected:
  25.     void changeEvent(QEvent *e);
  26.  
  27. private:
  28.     Ui::MainWindow *ui;
  29.     QPushButton *theButton;
  30.     QGridLayout *theLayout;
  31.     QSignalMapper *theMapper;
  32. };
  33.  
  34. #endif // MAINWINDOW_H

  15.     int count = 0;
  16.     for (int t = 0; t < 10 ; t++)
  17.     {
  18.         count++;
  19.         QString buttonName;
  20.         buttonName.setNum(count);

  23.         theLayout->addWidget(theButton,count,1,1,1);
  24.         connect(theButton, SIGNAL(clicked()), theMapper, SLOT(map()));
  25.         theMapper->setMapping(theButton,buttonName);
  26.     }
  27.  
  28.     centralWidget()->setLayout(theLayout);
  29.     connect(theMapper,SIGNAL(mapped(const QString &)),this,SIGNAL(clicked(const QString &)));
  30.  
  31. }
  32.  
  33. void clicked(const QString &text)
  34. {
  35.  
  36.     qDebug() << text;
  37. }

  39. MainWindow::~MainWindow()
  40. {

  47.     switch (e->type()) {
  48.     case QEvent::LanguageChange:
  49.         ui->retranslateUi(this);
  50.         break;
  51.     default:
  52.         break;
  53.     }
  54. }
