Pyside Signal and Slots connect New Method

Question

This code:

self.buttonOk.clicked(self.accept())
self.buttonCancel.clicked(self.reject())

Shows this error:

TypeError: native Qt signal is not callable

How do I connect buttonOk's clicked() signal to accept() Slot?

Answer 1

There are a couple of things wrong with your code.

Firstly, you need to use the signal's connect() method to make the connection; and secondly, you need to pass in a callable object (i.e. no parens).

So your code needs to look like this:

self.buttonOk.clicked.connect(self.accept)
self.buttonCancel.clicked.connect(self.reject)
