Create a custom slot in C++, Qt5 - c++

Question

in python we write custom slots quite easily by passing in the function to be called when a signal is generated.
While in C++ connect function requires us to pass the address of the slot function or so i figured. How do i do that. I tried using this but did'nt work.
Python code::
class imviu(QtGui.QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super(imvui,self).__init__()
self.btn=QtGui.QPushButton('Browse')
btn.clicked.connect(self.openimg)
def openimg(self):
#do something
C++ code::
class imviu: public QWidget
{
public:
imviu(QWidget *parent=0);
QPushButton *btn=new QPushButton("Browse");
void openimg(void);
};
imviu::imviu(QWidget *parent)
:QWidget(parent)
{
connect(btn, SIGNAL(clicked()),this,SLOT(openimg()));//this does'nt work:QObject::connect: No such slot QWidget::openimg()
}
void imviu::openimg()
{
//do something
}

In order to use signals and slots, you need to have the Q_OBJECT macro in your class as well as identifying which functions should be the signals and the slots. Have a look at the documentation for a more in-depth explanation.
After this, you need to set up the project file so that MOC can generate the necessary code.
Your class definition should look like this:
class imviu: public QWidget
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
imviu(QWidget *parent=0);
public slots:
void openimg();
private:
QPushButton *btn;
};
