Using signals and slots in Qt Designer
If you are using the Qt Widgets module, then you can use Qt Designer to edit signal and slot connections in the form. Qt default widgets come with many signals and slots. Let's see how we can implement signals and slots in Qt Designer without writing any code.
You can drag a Dial control and a Slider control onto the form. You can add connections via Signals and Slots Editor at the bottom tab, as shown in the following screenshot:

However, most developers prefer to define connections inside C++ source files.
