can a single statement work in signal/slot mechanism

hi..
i was just guessing that if there is any mechanism available in qt through which single signal can emit different slots just with a single statement..:rolleyes:

Code:

---

connect(navigate,SIGNAL(recordClicked()),navigate,SLOT(disableRecordButton()));
connect(navigate,SIGNAL(recordClicked()),progress,SLOT(startProgress()));

---

can this work be done by single statement

Well... Yes, if you implement a function such as the following:

Code:

---

QList<bool> multiconnect(QObject *sender, const char *sign, const QList<QObject*> &rcvs, const QList<const char*> &slts){
  if(rcvs.size()!=slts.size()) 
    return QList<bool>();
  QList<bool> results;
  for(int i=0;i<rcvs.size();i++){
    results << connect(sender, sign, rcvs[i], slts[i]);
  }
  return results;
}

---

Then you should be able to call it as:

Code:

---

QList<QObject *> rcvs;
QList<const char *> slts;
rcvs << myObj1 << myObj2 << myObj3;
slts << SLOT(react()) << SLOT(doSomething()) << SLOT(doSomethingElse());
QList<bool> result = multiconnect(this, SIGNAL(clicked()), rcvs, slts);
if(result.isEmpty())
  qDebug() << "Bad args count";
else if(result[2]==false)
  qDebug() << "SLOT myObj3::doSomethingElse() didn't connect";

---

Of course this can be shortened to a single statement:

Code:

---

multiconnect(this, SIGNAL(clicked()), QList<QObject*>() << myObj1 << myObj2, QList<const char*>() << SLOT("xyz()") << SLOT("abc"));
