Emit

[ToddAtWSU]

I am looking through some Qt code and have been seeing the keyword "emit" followed by a function call. What does "emit" do? Why could the function just not be called. I have looked on-line for some information, but I have not found anything that clears up my confusion. Thanks for your help!

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

you can call the signal also without using the "emit" .
It's just syntactical sugar.
