I was having trouble getting that to work and thought it because of
event driven nature of gui/qt programming. But i'll give it another go
anyway .. any examples? ;-)

Im wondering what the "right" way to do this is - the Qt way, or is
what you mentioned in fact the "right" way? Can i access the QObject
another way or am i barking up the wrong tree?

Thanks Stargaming and to anyone else who has some input!
