    \class QObject
    \brief The QObject class is the base class of all Qt objects.

    \ingroup objectmodel

    \reentrant

    QObject is the heart of the \l{Qt object model}. The central
    feature in this model is a very powerful mechanism for seamless
    object communication called \l{signals and slots}. You can
    connect a signal to a slot with connect() and destroy the
    connection with disconnect(). To avoid never ending notification
    loops you can temporarily block signals with blockSignals(). The
    protected functions connectNotify() and disconnectNotify() make
    it possible to track connections.

    QObjects organize themselves in object trees. When you create a
    QObject with another object as parent, the object will
    automatically add itself to the parent's children() list. The
    parent takes ownership of the object; i.e., it will automatically
    delete its children in its destructor. You can look for an object
    by name and optionally type using findChild() or findChildren().

    Every object has an objectName() and its class name can be found
    via the corresponding metaObject() (see QMetaObject::className()).
    You can determine whether the object's class inherits another
    class in the QObject inheritance hierarchy by using the
    inherits() function.

    When an object is deleted, it emits a destroyed() signal. You can
    catch this signal to avoid dangling references to QObjects.

    QObjects can receive events through event() and filter the events
    of other objects. See installEventFilter() and eventFilter() for
    details. A convenience handler, childEvent(), can be reimplemented
    to catch child events.

    Events are delivered in the thread in which the object was
    created; see \l{Thread Support in Qt} and thread() for details.
    Note that event processing is not done at all for QObjects with no
    thread affinity (thread() returns zero). Use the moveToThread()
    function to change the thread affinity for an object and its
    children (the object cannot be moved if it has a parent).

    Last but not least, QObject provides the basic timer support in
    Qt; see QTimer for high-level support for timers.

    Notice that the Q_OBJECT macro is mandatory for any object that
    implements signals, slots or properties. You also need to run the
    \l{moc}{Meta Object Compiler} on the source file. We strongly
    recommend the use of this macro in all subclasses of QObject
    regardless of whether or not they actually use signals, slots and
    properties, since failure to do so may lead certain functions to
    exhibit strange behavior.

    All Qt widgets inherit QObject. The convenience function
    isWidgetType() returns whether an object is actually a widget. It
    is much faster than
    \l{qobject_cast()}{qobject_cast}<QWidget *>(\e{obj}) or
    \e{obj}->\l{inherits()}{inherits}("QWidget").

    Some QObject functions, e.g. children(), return a QObjectList.
    QObjectList is a typedef for QList<QObject *>.

    \target No copy constructor
    \section1 No copy constructor or assignment operator

    QObject has neither a copy constructor nor an assignment operator.
    This is by design. Actually, they are declared, but in a
    \c{private} section with the macro Q_DISABLE_COPY(). In fact, all
    Qt classes derived from QObject (direct or indirect) use this
    macro to declare their copy constructor and assignment operator to
    be private. The reasoning is found in the discussion on
    \l{Identity vs Value} {Identity vs Value} on the \l{Qt Object
    Model} page.

    The main consequence is that you should use pointers to QObject
    (or to your QObject subclass) where you might otherwise be tempted
    to use your QObject subclass as a value. For example, without a
    copy constructor, you can't use a subclass of QObject as the value
    to be stored in one of the container classes. You must store
    pointers.

    \section1 Auto-Connection

    Qt's meta-object system provides a mechanism to automatically connect
    signals and slots between QObject subclasses and their children. As long
    as objects are defined with suitable object names, and slots follow a
    simple naming convention, this connection can be performed at run-time
    by the QMetaObject::connectSlotsByName() function.

    \l uic generates code that invokes this function to enable
    auto-connection to be performed between widgets on forms created
    with \QD. More information about using auto-connection with \QD is
    given in the \l{Using a Designer UI File in Your Application} section of
    the \QD manual.

    \section1 Dynamic Properties

    From Qt 4.2, dynamic properties can be added to and removed from QObject
    instances at run-time. Dynamic properties do not need to be declared at
    compile-time, yet they provide the same advantages as static properties
    and are manipulated using the same API - using property() to read them
    and setProperty() to write them.

    From Qt 4.3, dynamic properties are supported by
    \l{Qt Designer's Widget Editing Mode#The Property Editor}{Qt Designer},
    and both standard Qt widgets and user-created forms can be given dynamic
    properties.

    \section1 Internationalization (i18n)

    All QObject subclasses support Qt's translation features, making it possible
    to translate an application's user interface into different languages.

    To make user-visible text translatable, it must be wrapped in calls to
    the tr() function. This is explained in detail in the
    \l{Writing Source Code for Translation} document.

    QEvent::ChildAdded and QEvent::ChildRemoved events are sent to
    objects when children are added or removed. In both cases you can
    only rely on the child being a QObject, or if isWidgetType()
    returns true, a QWidget. (This is because, in the
    \l{QEvent::ChildAdded}{ChildAdded} case, the child is not yet
    fully constructed, and in the \l{QEvent::ChildRemoved}{ChildRemoved}
    case it might have been destructed already).

    QEvent::ChildPolished events are sent to widgets when children
    are polished, or when polished children are added. If you receive
    a child polished event, the child's construction is usually
    completed. However, this is not guaranteed, and multiple polish
    events may be delivered during the execution of a widget's
    constructor.

    For every child widget, you receive one
    \l{QEvent::ChildAdded}{ChildAdded} event, zero or more
    \l{QEvent::ChildPolished}{ChildPolished} events, and one
    \l{QEvent::ChildRemoved}{ChildRemoved} event.

    The \l{QEvent::ChildPolished}{ChildPolished} event is omitted if
    a child is removed immediately after it is added. If a child is

    Starts a timer and returns a timer identifier, or returns zero if
    it could not start a timer.

    A timer event will occur every \a interval milliseconds until
    killTimer() is called. If \a interval is 0, then the timer event
    occurs once every time there are no more window system events to
    process.

    The virtual timerEvent() function is called with the QTimerEvent
    event parameter class when a timer event occurs. Reimplement this
    function to get timer events.

    If multiple timers are running, the QTimerEvent::timerId() can be
    used to find out which timer was activated.

    Example:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp 8

    Note that QTimer's accuracy depends on the underlying operating
    system and hardware. Most platforms support an accuracy of 20
    milliseconds; some provide more. If Qt is unable to deliver the
    requested number of timer events, it will silently discard some.

    The QTimer class provides a high-level programming interface with
    single-shot timers and timer signals instead of events. There is
    also a QBasicTimer class that is more lightweight than QTimer and
    less clumsy than using timer IDs directly.

    (the default), all classes match. If \a objName is 0 (the

    of a QRegExp. If \a regexpMatch is false, \a objName is a string
    and object names must match it exactly.

    Note that \a inheritsClass uses single inheritance from QObject,

    inherits QObject but not QPaintDevice. This does not quite match
    reality, but is the best that can be done on the wide variety of

    Installs an event filter \a filterObj on this object. For example:
    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp 14

    An event filter is an object that receives all events that are
    sent to this object. The filter can either stop the event or
    forward it to this object. The event filter \a filterObj receives
    events via its eventFilter() function. The eventFilter() function
    must return true if the event should be filtered, (i.e. stopped);
    otherwise it must return false.

    If multiple event filters are installed on a single object, the
    filter that was installed last is activated first.

    Here's a \c KeyPressEater class that eats the key presses of its
    monitored objects:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp 15

    And here's how to install it on two widgets:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp 16

    The QShortcut class, for example, uses this technique to intercept
    shortcut key presses.

    \warning If you delete the receiver object in your eventFilter()
    function, be sure to return true. If you return false, Qt sends
    the event to the deleted object and the program will crash.

    Note that the filtering object must be in the same thread as this
    object. If \a filterObj is in a different thread, this function does
    nothing. If either \a filterObj or this object are moved to a different
    thread after calling this function, the event filter will not be
    called until both objects have the same thread affinity again (it
    is \e not removed).

    Creates a connection of the given \a type from the \a signal in
    the \a sender object to the \a method in the \a receiver object.
    Returns true if the connection succeeds; otherwise returns false.

    You must use the \c SIGNAL() and \c SLOT() macros when specifying
    the \a signal and the \a method, for example:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp 22

    This example ensures that the label always displays the current
    scroll bar value. Note that the signal and slots parameters must not
    contain any variable names, only the type. E.g. the following would
    not work and return false:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp 23

    A signal can also be connected to another signal:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp 24

    In this example, the \c MyWidget constructor relays a signal from
    a private member variable, and makes it available under a name
    that relates to \c MyWidget.

    A signal can be connected to many slots and signals. Many signals
    can be connected to one slot.

    If a signal is connected to several slots, the slots are activated
    in the same order as the order the connection was made, when the
    signal is emitted.

    The function returns true if it successfully connects the signal
    to the slot. It will return false if it cannot create the
    connection, for example, if QObject is unable to verify the
    existence of either \a signal or \a method, or if their signatures
    aren't compatible.

    By default, a signal is emitted for every connection you make;
    two signals are emitted for duplicate connections. You can break
    all of these connections with a single disconnect() call.
    If you pass the Qt::UniqueConnection \a type, the connection will only
    be made if it is not a duplicate. If there is already a duplicate
    (exact same signal to the exact same slot on the same objects),
    the connection will fail and connect will return false

    The optional \a type parameter describes the type of connection
    to establish. In particular, it determines whether a particular
    signal is delivered to a slot immediately or queued for delivery
    at a later time. If the signal is queued, the parameters must be
    of types that are known to Qt's meta-object system, because Qt
    needs to copy the arguments to store them in an event behind the
    scenes. If you try to use a queued connection and get the error
    message

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp 25

    call qRegisterMetaType() to register the data type before you
    establish the connection.

    Connects \a signal from the \a sender object to this object's \a
    method.

    Equivalent to connect(\a sender, \a signal, \c this, \a method, \a type).

    Every connection you make emits a signal, so duplicate connections emit
    two signals. You can break a connection using disconnect().

    \sa disconnect()
*/

/*!
    \threadsafe

    Disconnects \a signal in object \a sender from \a method in object
    \a receiver. Returns true if the connection is successfully broken;
    otherwise returns false.

    A signal-slot connection is removed when either of the objects
    involved are destroyed.

    disconnect() is typically used in three ways, as the following
    examples demonstrate.
    \list 1
    \i Disconnect everything connected to an object's signals:

       \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp 26

       equivalent to the non-static overloaded function

       \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp 27

    \i Disconnect everything connected to a specific signal:

       \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp 28

       equivalent to the non-static overloaded function

       \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp 29

    \i Disconnect a specific receiver:

       \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp 30

       equivalent to the non-static overloaded function

       \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp 31

    \endlist

    0 may be used as a wildcard, meaning "any signal", "any receiving
    object", or "any slot in the receiving object", respectively.

    The \a sender may never be 0. (You cannot disconnect signals from
    more than one object in a single call.)

    If \a signal is 0, it disconnects \a receiver and \a method from
    any signal. If not, only the specified signal is disconnected.

    If \a receiver is 0, it disconnects anything connected to \a
    signal. If not, slots in objects other than \a receiver are not
    disconnected.

    If \a method is 0, it disconnects anything that is connected to \a
    receiver. If not, only slots named \a method will be disconnected,
    and all other slots are left alone. The \a method must be 0 if \a
    receiver is left out, so you cannot disconnect a
    specifically-named slot on all objects.

    \macro Q_CLASSINFO(Name, Value)
    \relates QObject

    This macro associates extra information to the class, which is
    available using QObject::metaObject(). Except for the ActiveQt
    extension, Qt doesn't use this information.

    The extra information takes the form of a \a Name string and a \a

    \macro Q_INTERFACES(...)
    \relates QObject

    This macro tells Qt which interfaces the class implements. This
    is used when implementing plugins.

    Example:

    \snippet examples/tools/plugandpaintplugins/basictools/basictoolsplugin.h 1
    \dots
    \snippet examples/tools/plugandpaintplugins/basictools/basictoolsplugin.h 3

/*!
    \macro Q_PROPERTY(...)
    \relates QObject

    This macro is used for declaring properties in classes that
    inherit QObject. Properties behave like class data members, but
    they have additional features accessible through the \l
    {Meta-Object System}.

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp 36

    The property name and type and the \c READ function are required.
    The type can be any type supported by QVariant, or it can be a
    user-defined type.  The other items are optional, but a \c WRITE
    function is common.  The attributes default to true except \c USER,
    which defaults to false.

    For example:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp 37

    For more details about how to use this macro, and a more detailed
    example of its use, see the discussion on \l {Qt's Property System}.

    \sa {Qt's Property System}
*/

/*!
    \macro Q_ENUMS(...)
    \relates QObject

    This macro registers one or several enum types to the meta-object
    system.

    For example:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp 38

    If you want to register an enum that is declared in another class,
    the enum must be fully qualified with the name of the class
    defining it. In addition, the class \e defining the enum has to
    inherit QObject as well as declare the enum using Q_ENUMS().

    \sa {Qt's Property System}
*/

/*!
    \macro Q_FLAGS(...)
    \relates QObject

    This macro registers one or several \l{QFlags}{flags types} to the
    meta-object system. It is typically used in a class definition to declare
    that values of a given enum can be used as flags and combined using the
    bitwise OR operator.

    For example, in QLibrary, the \l{QLibrary::LoadHints}{LoadHints} flag is
    declared in the following way:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp 39a

    The declaration of the flags themselves is performed in the public section
    of the QLibrary class itself, using the \l Q_DECLARE_FLAGS() macro:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp 39b

    \note This macro takes care of registering individual flag values
    with the meta-object system, so it is unnecessary to use Q_ENUMS()
    in addition to this macro.

    \sa {Qt's Property System}
*/

/*!
    \macro Q_OBJECT
    \relates QObject

    The Q_OBJECT macro must appear in the private section of a class
    definition that declares its own signals and slots or that uses
    other services provided by Qt's meta-object system.

    For example:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/signalsandslots/signalsandslots.h 1
    \codeline
    \snippet doc/src/snippets/signalsandslots/signalsandslots.h 2
    \snippet doc/src/snippets/signalsandslots/signalsandslots.h 3

    \note This macro requires the class to be a subclass of QObject. Use
    Q_GADGET instead of Q_OBJECT to enable the meta object system's support
    for enums in a class that is not a QObject subclass. Q_GADGET makes a
    class member, \c{staticMetaObject}, available.
    \c{staticMetaObject} is of type QMetaObject and provides access to the
    enums declared with Q_ENUMS.
    Q_GADGET is provided only for C++.
