- | Communication between objects in Qt is typically handled by a signal and slots system. Signals are emitted by objects in response to user interaction or other stimuli, and these signals are received by slots in other objects. Connections are made between signals and slots by the programmer using some simple non-C++ code foo. The behavior associated with a received signal is determined programatically. Lots of Qt classes have predefined signals and slots. You can implement new signals and slots in classes you derive yourself. | + | Communication between objects in Qt is typically handled by a signal and slots system.

A number of signals are defined for many of the classes that make up Qt. It is also possible to implement new (or override existing :?:) signals. | A number of signals are defined for many of the classes that make up Qt. It is also possible to implement new (or override existing :?:) signals. | ||
