Qt Signal Slot Connection Type
Overview
Loose coupling: The key advantage of the signals and slots is that the caller does not have to know anything about the receiver and vice versa. Only connect the signals you need, while in a listener you need to implement also the methods you won't use. How Qt Signals and Slots Work - Part 3 - Queued and Inter Thread Connections This blog is part of a series of blogs explaining the internals of signals and slots. Part 1 - How Qt Signals and Slots Work.
This program demonstrates how QML and C++ can be connected through Qt signalsand slots. It does this through embedding C++ code as a context property in QMLrather than explicitly connecting signals and slots.
When the program is started, the C++ part send a signal to QML, including aparameter. This signal is only sent once. When the user clicks on the windowarea, a signal is sent from QML to a C++ slot.
