19//---- RQ_OBJECT macro -----------------------------------------------
20//
21// Macro is used to delegate TQObject methods to other classes
22// Example:
23//
24// #include "RQ_OBJECT.h"
25//
26// class A {
27// RQ_OBJECT("A")
28// private:
29// Int_t fValue;
30// public:
31// A() : fValue(0) { }
32// ~A() { }
33//
34// void SetValue(Int_t value)
35// void PrintValue() const { printf("value=%d\n", fValue); }
36// Int_t GetValue() const { return fValue; }
37// };
38//
39// void A::SetValue(Int_t value)
40// {
41// // Sets new value
42//
43// // to prevent infinite looping in the case
44// // of cyclic connections
45// if (value != fValue) {
46// fValue = value;
47// Emit("SetValue(Int_t)", fValue);
48// }
49// }
50//
51// Load this class into root session and try the folllowing:
52//
53// a = new A();
54// b = new A();
55//
56// Here is one way to connect two of these objects together:
57//
58// a->Connect("SetValue(Int_t)", "A", b, "SetValue(Int_t)");
59//
60// Calling a->SetValue(79) will make a emit a signal, which b
61// will receive, i.e. b->SetValue(79) is invoked. b will in
62// turn emit the same signal, which nobody receives, since no
63// slot has been connected to it, so it disappears into hyperspace.
64//
