[Qt-interest] Using Strings instead of SIGNAL(foo())

[Hari Sundar]

Hi Scott,

Thats not what I am trying to do ... I want to take a string parameter,
obtained from say the user ... and emit a Signal based on that ...   i.e.,
normally One would make the connection like

connect( this, SIGNAL( sigMySignal( ) ), object, SLOT( slotMySlot( ) ) );

I am interested in doing it as,

connect( this,  myStringSignal, object, SLOT( slotMySlot( ) ) );

and then somehow ....

emit FUNCT(myStringSignal);

I hope you understand what I want to do ?

thanks,
Hari
