The QSignal class can be used to send signals without parameters. More...
#include <qsignal.h>
QSignal is a simple extension of QObject that can send plain signals without parameters. If you want to send signals from a class that does not inherit QObject, you can create an internal QSignal object to emit the signal. You must also provide a function that connects the signal to an outside object slot. This is how we have implemented signals in the QMenuData class, which is not a QObject.
In general, we recommend inheriting QObject instead. QObject provides much more functionality.
Note that QObject is a private base class of QSignal, i.e. you cannot call any QObject member functions from a QSignal object.
Example:
#include <qsignal.h>
class MyClass
{
public:
MyClass();
~MyClass();
void doSomething();
void connect( QObject *receiver, const char *member );
private:
QSignal *sig;
};
MyClass::MyClass()
{
sig = new QSignal;
}
MyClass::~MyClass()
{
delete sig;
}
void MyClass::doSomething()
{
// ... does something
sig->activate(); // activates the signal
}
void MyClass::connect( QObject *receiver, const char *member )
{
sig->connect( receiver, member );
}
Constructs a signal object with the parent object parent and a name. These arguments are passed directly to QObject.
Emits the signal.
See also: isBlock().
Blocks the signal if b is TRUE, or unblocks the signal if b is FALSE.
An activated signal disappears into hyperspace if it is blocked.
See also: isBlocked(), activate() and QObject::blockSignals().
Connects the signal to member in object receiver.
See also: disconnect() and QObject::connect().
Disonnects the signal from member in object receiver.
See also: connect() and QObject::disconnect().
Returns TRUE if the signal is blocked, or FALSE if it is not blocked.
The signal is not blocked by default.
See also: block() and QObject::signalsBlocked().
Returns the name of this signal object.
Since QObject is a private base class, we have added this function, which calls QObject::name().
Sets the name of this signal object to name.
Since QObject is a private base class, we have added this function, which calls QObject::setName().
