This question keeps coming up, so I decided to write a small example that
shows one way to do what you want - or at least what I think you want.
You can find it on the QtCentre Wiki:

If anyone feels that they could add something to the example or make
corrections to it, please feel free to edit the page or add comments to
the associated discussion page.
