一个小例子

信号和插槽用于对象之间的通信。信号和插槽机制是 Qt 的核心特征，可能是与其他框架提供的功能最不同的部分。

最小的例子需要一个具有一个信号，一个插槽和一个连接的类：

counter.h

#ifndef COUNTER_H
#define COUNTER_H

#include <QWidget>
#include <QDebug>

class Counter : public QWidget
{
    /*
     * All classes that contain signals or slots must mention Q_OBJECT
     * at the top of their declaration.
     * They must also derive (directly or indirectly) from QObject.
     */
    Q_OBJECT

public:
    Counter (QWidget *parent = 0): QWidget(parent)
    {
            m_value = 0;

            /*
             * The most important line: connect the signal to the slot.
             */
            connect(this, &Counter::valueChanged, this, &Counter::printvalue);
    }

    void setValue(int value)
    {
        if (value != m_value) {
            m_value = value;
            /*
             * The emit line emits the signal valueChanged() from
             * the object, with the new value as argument.
             */
            emit valueChanged(m_value);
        }
    }

public slots:
    void printValue(int value)
    {
        qDebug() << "new value: " << value;
    }

signals:
    void valueChanged(int newValue);

private:
    int m_value;

};

#endif

main 设置了一个新值。我们可以检查槽的调用方式，打印值。

#include <QtGui>
#include "counter.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);

    Counter counter;
    counter.setValue(10);
    counter.show();

    return app.exec();
}

最后，我们的项目文件：

SOURCES   = \
            main.cpp
HEADERS   = \
            counter.h
