DESCRIPTION
       This class is defined in the Qt ActiveQt Extension, which can be found
       in the qt/extensions directory. It is not included in the main Qt API.

       The QAxObject class provides a QObject that wraps a COM object.

       A QAxObject can be instantiated as an empty object, with the name of
       the COM object it should wrap, or with a pointer to the IUnknown that
       represents an existing COM object. If the COM object implements the
       IDispatch interface, the properties, methods and events of that object
       become available as Qt properties, slots and signals. The base class,
       QAxBase, provides an API to access the COM object directly through the
       IUnknown pointer.

       QAxObject is a QObject and can be used as such, e.g. it can be
       organized in an object hierarchy, receive events and connect to signals
       and slots.

       Warning: You can subclass QAxObject, but you cannot use the Q_OBJECT
       macro in the subclass (the generated moc-file will not compile), so you
       cannot add further signals, slots or properties. This limitation is due
       to the metaobject information generated in runtime. To work around this
       problem, aggregate the QAxObject as a member of the QObject subclass.

MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION
QAxObject::QAxObject ( QObject * parent = 0, const char * name = 0 )
       Creates an empty COM object and propagates parent and name to the
       QObject constructor. To initialize the object, call setControl.

QAxObject::QAxObject ( const QString & c, QObject * parent = 0, const char *
       name = 0 )
       Creates a QAxObject that wraps the COM object c. parent and name are
       propagated to the QWidget contructor.

       See also control.

QAxObject::QAxObject ( IUnknown * iface, QObject * parent = 0, const char *
       name = 0 )
       Creates a QAxObject that wraps the COM object referenced by iface.
       parent and name are propagated to the QObject contructor.

QAxObject::~QAxObject ()
       Releases the COM object and destroys the QAxObject, cleaning up all
       allocated resources.

QVariant QAxBase::dynamicCall ( const QCString & function, const QVariant &
       var1 = QVariant ( ), const QVariant & var2 = QVariant ( ), const
       QVariant & var3 = QVariant ( ), const QVariant & var4 = QVariant ( ),
       const QVariant & var5 = QVariant ( ), const QVariant & var6 = QVariant
       ( ), const QVariant & var7 = QVariant ( ), const QVariant & var8 =
       QVariant ( ) )
       Calls the COM object's method function, passing the parameters var1,
       var1, var2, var3, var4, var5, var6, var7 and var8, and returns the
       value returned by the method, or an invalid QVariant if the method does
       not return a value or when the function call failed.

       If function is a method of the object the string must be provided as
       the full prototype, for example as it would be written in a
       QObject::connect() call.

	   activeX->dynamicCall( "Navigate(const QString&)", "www.trolltech.com" );

       Alternatively a function can be called passing the parameters embedded
       in the string, e.g. above function can also be invoked using

	   activeX->dynamicCall("Navigate(\"www.trolltech.com\");
       All parameters are passed as strings; it depends on the control whether
       they are interpreted correctly, and is slower than using the prototype
       with correctly typed parameters.

       If function is a property the string has to be the name of the
       property. The property setter is called when var1 is a valid QVariant,
       otherwise the getter is called.

	   activeX->dynamicCall( "Value", 5 );
	   QString text = activeX->dynamicCall( "Text" ).toString();
       Note that it is faster to get and set properties using
       QObject::property() and QObject::setProperty().

       It is only possible to call functions through dynamicCall() that have
       parameters or return values of datatypes supported by QVariant. See the
       QAxBase class documentation for a list of supported and unsupported
       datatypes. If you want to call functions that have unsupported
       datatypes in the parameter list, use queryInterface() to retrieve the
       appropriate COM interface, and use the function directly.

	   IWebBrowser2 *webBrowser = 0;
	   activeX->queryInterface( IID_IWebBrowser2, (void**)&webBrowser );
	   if ( webBrowser ) {
	       webBrowser->Navigate2( pvarURL );
	       webBrowser->Release();
	   }

       This is also more efficient.

       Example: qutlook/centralwidget.cpp.

QVariant QAxBase::dynamicCall ( const QCString & function,
       QValueList<QVariant> & vars )
       This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It
       behaves essentially like the above function.

       Calls the COM object's method function, passing the parameters in vars,
       and returns the value returned by the method. If the method does not
       return a value or when the function call failed this function returns
       an invalid QVariant object.

       The QVariant objects in vars are updated when the method has out-
       parameters.

QAxObject * QAxBase::querySubObject ( const QCString & name, const QVariant &
       var1 = QVariant ( ), const QVariant & var2 = QVariant ( ), const
       QVariant & var3 = QVariant ( ), const QVariant & var4 = QVariant ( ),
       const QVariant & var5 = QVariant ( ), const QVariant & var6 = QVariant
       ( ), const QVariant & var7 = QVariant ( ), const QVariant & var8 =
       QVariant ( ) )
       Returns a pointer to a QAxObject wrapping the COM object provided by
       the method or property name, passing passing the parameters var1, var1,
       var2, var3, var4, var5, var6, var7 and var8.

       If name is provided by a method the string must include the full
       function prototype.

       If name is a property the string must be the name of the property, and
       var1, ... var8 are ignored.

       The returned QAxObject is a child of this object (which is either of
       type QAxObject or QAxWidget), and is deleted when this object is
       deleted. It is however safe to delete the returned object yourself, and
       you should do so when you iterate over lists of subobjects.

       COM enabled applications usually have an object model publishing
       certain elements of the application as dispatch interfaces. Use this
       method to navigate the hierarchy of the object model, e.g.

	   QAxWidget outlook( "Outlook.Application" );
	   QAxObject *session = outlook.querySubObject( "Session" );
	   if ( session ) {
	       QAxObject *defFolder = session->querySubObject(
				       "GetDefaultFolder(OlDefaultFolders)",
				       "olFolderContacts" );
	       //...
	   }

       Example: qutlook/centralwidget.cpp.
