DESCRIPTION

       The QMetaObject class contains meta information about Qt
       objects.

       The Meta Object System in Qt is responsible for the
       signal/slot mechanism for communication between objects,
       runtime type information and the property system. All meta
       information in Qt is kept in a single instance of
       QMetaObject per class.

       In general, you will not have to use this class directly
       in any application program. Most of the class members and
       functions are internal,  do not use them .

       Some functions, however, are marked as public API and may
       make sense for certain "meta" applications such as
       scripting engines or GUI builders:

       className() to get the name of a class.

       superClassName() to get the name of the superclass.

       inherits(), the function called by QObject::inherits().

       superClass() to access the meta object of the superclass.

       numSlots(), numSignals(), slotNames() and signalNames() to
              get information about a classes signals and slots.

       property() and propertyNames() to receive information
              about a classes properties.

       classInfo() and numClassInfo() to access additional class
              information.


MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION


QClassInfo* QMetaObject::classInfo ( int index, bool super =

       FALSE ) const
       Returns the class information with index index or 0 if no
       such information exists.

       If super is TRUE, inherited class information is included.


const char* QMetaObject::classInfo ( const char * name, bool

       super = FALSE ) const
       Returns the class information with name name or 0 if no
       such information exists.



const char * QMetaObject::className () const

       Returns the class name.

       See also QObject::className() and superClassName().


bool QMetaObject::inherits ( const char * clname ) const

       Returns TRUE if this class inherits clname within the meta
       object inheritance chain.

       (A class is considered to inherit itself.).


int QMetaObject::numClassInfo ( bool super = FALSE ) const

       Returns the number of class information available for this
       class.

       If super is TRUE, inherited class information is included.


int QMetaObject::numSignals ( bool super = FALSE ) const

       Returns the number of signals for this class.

       If super is TRUE, inherited signals are included.

       See also signalNames().


int QMetaObject::numSlots ( bool super = FALSE ) const

       Returns the number of slots for this class.

       If super is TRUE, inherited slots are included.

       See also slotNames().


const QMetaProperty* QMetaObject::property ( const char * name,

       bool super = FALSE ) const
       Returns the property meta data for the property with name
       name or 0 if no such property exists.

       If super is TRUE, inherited properties are included.

       See also propertyNames().


QStrList QMetaObject::propertyNames ( bool super = FALSE ) const

       Returns a list with the names of all properties for this
       class.

       If super is TRUE, inherited properties are included.

       See also property().


QStrList QMetaObject::signalNames ( bool super = FALSE ) const

       Returns a list with the names of all signals for this
       class.


       See also signal().


QStrList QMetaObject::slotNames ( bool super = FALSE ) const

       Returns a list with the names of all slots for this class.

       If super is TRUE, inherited slots are included.

       See also numSlots().


QMetaObject * QMetaObject::superClass () const

       Returns the meta object of the super class or 0, if there
       is no such object.


const char * QMetaObject::superClassName () const

       Returns the class name of the super class, or 0 if there
       is no super class in the QObject hierarchy.

       See also className().
