yes. in my last post I said that both should be behaviors in this
example. at first I was trying to talk about this as an object just
for the sake of argument. then I realized that this was getting
confusing & so I just stripped it down to the final question which I
still haven't heard answered:
"if you can't use accessors as the article implies, how do objects or
behaviors communicate?"
FWIW - I do like the idea of a generaized slider behavior that doesn't
care what it is communicating with. no need for it to know about QT,
animations, anything... just pass the floating point number that is
its current position.
