Hi,
I’m emitting a custom signal that I want to connect to a different class altogether. I made a simple program that demonstrates roughly what I want and attached it here. When button 2 or 4 is pressed, I expected the print out “Clicked from BasicA” and “Clicked from Main”. However, I only get the former. How do I get the latter?
Thanks in advance,
Surge

Hi Surge,
Use ACLiC: root [0] .x guitest.C+
root [1] Clicked from BasicA
Clicked from Main
Clicked from BasicA
Clicked from Main
Cheers, Bertrand.
Hi Bertrand,
I get a huge amount of errors when I try ALCiC:

I’m don’t know why.
Well, as the compiler is invoked, you have to properly #include the necessary headers, as in any regular C++ source file… Just add theses lines at the beginning of your macro:
#include "TGFrame.h"
#include "TGButton.h"
#include "Riostream.h"
#include "TApplication.h"
EDIT:
And you also have to implement the destructor for your classes. E.g. (at least):
virtual ~BasicB() {;}
...
virtual ~BasicB() {;}
Cheers, Bertrand.
Thanks that did the trick. I’m still curious if there is any way of doing without running ALCiC?
Thanks again,
Surge
Yes, maybe with the RQ_OBJECT() macro, I’ll have to check…
Cheers, Bertrand.
OK, here is another way. Add RQ_OBJECT(“BasicA”) at the beginning of the BasicA class definition:
class BasicA : public TGVerticalFrame {
RQ_OBJECT("BasicA")
private:
...
};
And then connect the signal and the slot like this:
Cheers, Bertrand.
Thanks again, it worked like a charm.
