A slot is an area where you can insert a signal to an object. Slots are usually slightly slower than callbacks, as they require overhead to safely iterate over all connections.<\/p>\n
In C++, you can use slots to receive signals. Using a connection object and marshalling parameters, you can connect your signal to a slot. You must be careful to use only those classes that define a signal. If you emit a signal from a class that is not related to the class that defines the slot, the private slot will be invoked in the unrelated class.<\/p>\n
When you use a slot to receive a signal, you must be careful to use a different name than you do for your signal. This will prevent your signal from being invoked in the wrong place.<\/p>\n
A slot is also used to receive information from other widgets. For example, in QScrollBar, you can connect the valueChanged() signal to the display() slot.<\/p>\n
When you call the display() slot, Qt will select the appropriate version of the display() signal. To make sure your signal is invoked in the correct thread, you must define a context object.<\/p>\n
Then, when you call the signal, you can connect it to the slot using the QObject::connect() macro. Note that the SLOT() signature must have more arguments than the SIGNAL() signature.<\/p>\n
Slots follow normal C++ rules. They are not automatically invoked by other components. However, if they are called directly, they follow the normal rules.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
