Been looking for a tutorial on this in the examples and can't find anything.  Maybe I missed it?

I'm looking for a simple data class example that has a public method to set an observer, similar to this:

class MyDataClass : QObject // I'm guessing I would subclass QObject
{
  public:
  int getSomeValue();

  signals:
   void setObserver(const QObject* receiver, ...?);

  private:
  int m_someValue;
};

// ...and cpp file with setting the connection

Is there sample code out there with this?  If not, could someone post a sample class?

I've seen samples in QML, but I'm looking for C++.

Thanks!

#include <QObject>

class Settings : public QObject
{
	Q_OBJECT
public:
	explicit Settings(QObject *parent = 0);
	static Settings *sharedInstance();

	QString getTargetIPAddress();
	void setTargetIPAddress(const QString &ipAddress);
signals:
	void targetIPAddressChanged();
};

---

#include <QSettings>

#include "Settings.h"

const char *targetIPAddressKey = "targetIPAddress";

Settings::Settings(QObject *parent) :
    QObject(parent)
{
}

Settings *Settings::sharedInstance()
{
	static Settings settings;
	return &settings;
}

QString Settings::getTargetIPAddress()
{
	QSettings settings;
	QVariant v = settings.value(targetIPAddressKey);
	if (v.isNull())
		return "192.168.0.1";
	return v.toString();
}

void Settings::setTargetIPAddress(const QString &ipAddress)
{
	QSettings settings;
	settings.setValue(targetIPAddressKey, QVariant(ipAddress));
	settings.sync();
	emit targetIPAddressChanged();
}

---

Some other class:

.h:
protected slots:
	void targetAddressChanged();

.cpp:
[...constructor...]
	Settings *settings = Settings::sharedInstance();
	QObject::connect(settings, SIGNAL(targetIPAddressChanged()),
				 this, SLOT(targetAddressChanged()));
	targetAddressChanged(); // for initial setup
[...]

void UDPClient::targetAddressChanged()
{
	Settings *settings = Settings::sharedInstance();
	// Do something with settings->getTargetIPAddress()
}

I hope this will help.

Or if you want to pass a SLOT to the function:

void onSomething(const QObject* receiver, const char *method) {
  this->connect(SIGNAL(touch(bb::cascades::TouchEvent*)), receiver, method);
}

This is very nice, thank you.
