[Qgis-developer] question on Adding plugin to qgis

[nitin quick]

i followed the pages i found at Qgis Wiki about plugin design and got it
done. One issue i couldn't understand is no connections for OK and Cancel
button are not specified in NorthArrow plugin code plugingui.cpp/plugin.cpp.
Same i tried to do but i couldn't get desired output, connection for
pbnOK_clicked() was not formed with click button event. I. For my code i
have code that part myself. I couldn't understand this?  kindly guide me in
it.
