doit is a Qthread subclass with a signal kif() but the signal emitting is not working I want to show the resualt of gav() on one of my editLines at the same time as its changes inside gav() pls help :((((((( I wasted so much time to find out how I can do it :((((((

main.cpp

#include "mainwindow.h"

#include <QApplication>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    MainWindow w;
    w.show();
    return a.exec();
}

doit.h

#ifndef DOIT_H
#define DOIT_H

class doit : public QThread
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    doit();
    int i;
    QString z;
    void run() ;
    void gav(int &i);
signals:
    void kif(const QString &text);
};

#endif // DOIT_H

#include "doit.h"

doit::doit()
{

}

void doit::run()
{
    gav(i);
}

void doit::gav(int &i) 
{
    int k=i;
    for (int b=0;b<k;b  ){
        i=b;
        z= QString::number(i);
        emit kif(z);
    }
}

   connect(dovit,SIGNAL(kif(QString)),this,SLOT(checkInput(QString)));
   dovit->start();
}

MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
    delete ui;
}

void MainWindow::checkInput(const QString &text)
{
    ui->lineEdit_3->setText(text);
}

and Im new in this , so pls tell me exactlly where should I change or add and what tanx alot

CodePudding user response：

Well it finally worked after wasting a lot of my time. For anyone wondering vtables was the problem (as I read its a bug (not sure)) and I should just

right click on the project folder and rebuild and run qmake the project ,

• I added Qobject.h too and it worked.

working code:

(it is also a simple and good example of meta signaling in qt if you need it)

    void kif(QString text);
