[Interest] error connecting signals

[Adrian Stern]

Hey

I don't understand exactly. But when i put the Q_Object macro in VideoPlayer, I ghet the errors:
...Debug/moc_videoplayer.cpp:70: Fehler:'QObject' is an ambiguous base of 'VideoPlayer'

Shouldn't VideoPlayer inherit this macro from PlayerBase since it is a derived class?

class VideoPlayer : public PlayerBase, public IControllable, public IPlaceable
{
  Q_INTERFACES(PlayerBase IControllable IPlaceable)
  ...
}

class PlayerBase : public QObject
{
  Q_OBJECT
...
}

Freundliche Grüsse / Best Regards / Meilleures salutations
Adrian Stern

Because, as you said, VideoPlayer was lacking the Q_OBJECT macro.

Rule of thumb: put Q_OBJECT in each and every QObject subclass.

What do you mean? You can always cast "for free" to a base*, but you need an explicit cast to go towards a derived class.
