Having created a window in Chapter 1, we will now go on to make the application quit properly when the user tells it to.
This time, the button says <strong>Quit</strong> and that's exactly what the program will do when the user clicks the button.
We've chosen another size for the button since the text is a bit shorter than "Hello world!". We could also have used [http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qfontmetrics.html Qt::FontMetrics] to set right size, or let [http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qpushbutton.html Qt::PushButton] choose a reasonable default.
Here we choose a new font for the button, an 18-point bold font from the Times family. It is also possible to change the default font for the entire application, using [http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qapplication.html#setFont Qt::Application::setFont()].
[http://doc.trolltech.com/4.2/qobject.html#connect Qt::Object::connect()] is perhaps the most central feature of Qt. Note that '''<tt>connect()</tt>''' in this context is a static function in [http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qobject.html Qt::Object]. Do not confuse it with the '''<tt>connect()</tt>''' function in the Berkeley socket library.
This '''<tt>connect()</tt>''' call establishes a one-way connection between two Qt objects (objects that inherit [http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qobject.html Qt::Object], directly or indirectly). Every Qt object can have both '''<tt>signals</tt>''' (to send messages) and '''<tt>slots</tt>''' (to receive messages). All widgets are Qt objects, since they inherit [http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qwidget.html Qt::Widget], which in turn inherits [http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qobject.html Qt::Object].
Here, the '''<tt>clicked()</tt>''' signal of '''<tt>quit</tt>''' is connected to the '''<tt>quit()</tt>''' slot of '''<tt>app</tt>''', so that when the button is clicked, the application quits.
The [http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/signalsandslots.html Signals and Slots] documentation describes this topic in detail.
When you run this program, you will see an even smaller window than in Chapter 1, filled with an even smaller button.
Are there any other signals in [http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qpushbutton.html Qt::PushButton] you can connect to quit? [Hint: The [http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qpushbutton.html Qt::PushButton] inherits most of its functionality from [http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qabstractbutton.html Qt::AbstractButton].]
