Creating slots in qtdesigner (4.3)
Message 1 in thread
Hi all
I know this will sound stupid but i can't follow any tutorial which
mentions the creation of slots for objects in qtdesigner. The
question is: is it even possible to create slots *in* qtdesigner? If
so, where? None of the options listed in any tutorial show up in
designer's slot/signal editor. All i see is a list of connections and
the slot column has a dropdown with all existing slots.
Thanks (i'm a complete newb)

You're obviously following Qt3 tutorials, those are outdated for Qt4 and
you shouldn't follow them as a newbie. Instead look at the designer
manual that comes with Qt4's documentation.
And to answer your question specifically: There's no way to create slots
in Qt4 designer, thats by design. You'll create slots in code in a class
subclassing from QWidget (as the generated code from the .ui file
doesn't do that either).
