qtvcp issues

In my recent post,

"[QTvcp][INFO] postgui filename: x1Mill_postgui.hal (qtvcp:349)
/home/cnc/qt5vcp_py2/scripts/linuxcnc: line 880: 30737 Segmentation fault (core dumped) $EMCDISPLAY -ini "$INIFILE" $EMCDISPLAYARGS $EXTRA_ARGS".

I wonder if this is associated with naming of the slot.

I had just left it to the default. After reading more I see that I need to edit the default but I cannot get a ground symbol after clicking on the + in the signal/slot editor. All I get is a pointer. I do get a ground symbol if I edit the supplied qt_cnc_800x600.ui. In that one the receiver is listed as MainWindow. Could that be associated with not getting the ground symbol?

The issue I mentioned in not being able to get the ground symbol looks like its being caused by not having any gaps between neighbouring and under laying frames. My gui right now has no spaces. It require a spacing of at least one before the ground symbol can show when moving the mouse pointer. On layered frames the mouse pointer will need to move outside the largest underlying frame.

It is likely best to just move items where there are no underlying items and in a clear area of the screen and then assign signals and slots and place then where desired later. I was not aware of this requirement.

There is also a signal/slot editor panel that you can use.
You may need to set it to show -' View' on the top of designer then select 'signal/slot editor'
then on the right will show the signal editor (tabed with properties/object)
If your screen is full or you have a slot of signals this can be easier.

Im making good progress now that I have been able to program a good number of signals/slots. I still need to get more of its pages completed and work on a number of smaller things like getting the time and date in the small label to work and have the onboard virtual keyboard show up in its designated page. I have one page that that I need to hide when it is not in use since it has overlaps with another as can bee seen in the pictures. I'm sure there will be quite a bit more, but its talking to my machine now. I will work toward making it available as a QTvcp demo later.

It's looking very good!
I would love to add it as a sample screen when you are done if you are willing.
