misidentified object

so ive not had too much experience with c++, perhaps only two semesters of college courses which often referenced/used it. ive been trying to learn some Qt, esp after seeing some neat videos of embedded WebKits.

I'm having trouble connecting a signal to a slot in a very simple case. However I suspect this is because I have not declared/defined my classes correctly. I'm posting here because I suspect its my shaky C++ basis rather than the Qt code.

Well here goes:

The following code returns a run time error:
"Object::connect: No such slot QWidget::timeOut()"

I'm trying to connect to MyWidget, not QWidget, but I don't see what is getting mixed up.

Thanks!

add the Q_OBJECT-macro..

Does this resolve your problem?

You were correct -- I made an error regarding the Qt definitions. Thanks for the quick reply.

Sorry the post ended up in the wrong category, but thanks for help!
