Qt object model

In a GUI framework, both run-time efficiency and high-level flexibility are key factors. The standard C++ object model provides very efficient run-time support, but its static nature is inflexible in certain problematic domains. The Qt framework combines the speed of C++ with the flexibility of the Qt object model.

The Qt object model supports the following features:

• Signals and slots, for seamless object communication
• Queryable and designable object properties
• Powerful events and event filters
• Powerful internally driven timers, enabling smooth, non-blocking work in many of the tasks in an event-driven GUI
• Internationalization with contextual string translation
• Guarded pointers (QPointers) that are automatically set to 0 ...
