You can connect a block to a signal like this if you prefer:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby  
require ‘Qt4’

class MyWidget \< Qt::Widget  
def initialize(parent=nil)  
super(parent)  
@table = Qt::TableWidget.new(10, 10, self)

```
connect(@table, SIGNAL('cellClicked(int,int)'), self) do |r, c|
  puts "cellClicked r: #{r} c: #{c}"
end

```

end  
end
