[Qt-interest] Is it possible with the State Machine Framework?

[K. Frank]

Mihail -

Could you give a little more information about what you are trying to
accomplish?
Perhaps a concrete example -- even if a toy -- would be helpful.

Could you be more specific about what you mean by having a state
control an object?

This I don't follow.  You wish to associate object(s) with a state in
some way.  What
do you mean by this, and what is it supposed to accomplish?

I don't know what you mean by "moved around."

If you good give us a use case and toy design sketch, maybe we could give you
some advice about how best (or whether) to use state machines to accomplish
your goal.

Good luck.
