Anything that is declared in the slots section of a QObject. Yeah it’s an obsolete convention nowadays, but the company where I worked around 2007-2009 liked doing it that way. But while any function can be connected to a signal now, not any function can be used as a signal emitter (at least not yet ;-) so maybe it makes more sense to have a naming convention for signals rather than slots: e.g. signalXChanged. “Signal” is both a verb and a noun, so in the context of calling signalXChanged(), you can read it as “signal that X changed.” _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
