I was going through this Qt tutorial where I came across a pretty interesting line of code
connect(slider,SIGNAL(valueChanged(int)),this,SIGNAL(valueChanged(int)));
Generally when a signal is emitted, then a slot is called. What is meant by this statement?
the “slider” is a QSlider object pointer.
If helpful, this is the tutorial .
This statement tells the qt signal/slot mechanism to connect two signals, making the second being emitted if the first one is emitted. Look at documentation of QObject::connect it has an example where a signal from a private member variable is made available by connecting it to a public signal of the owner class, but i guess that is just one use case.
