signal emitted remotely as well as to connect a local signal to remote slot.</p> <p>To use this module, use the following code in your application:</p> <pre class="cpp"> <span

When installing Qt from source, this module is built when Qt's tools are built.</p> <p>See the <a href="intro-to-dbus.html">D-Bus</a> page for detailed information on how to use this module.</p> <p>This module is part of all <a href="editions.html">Qt editions</a>.</p> </div> <!-- @@@QtDBus --> </div> </div> </div> <div class="ft"> <span></span> </div> </div> <div class="footer"> <p> <acronym title="Copyright">©</acronym> 2013 Digia Plc and/or its subsidiaries.
