    \class QAxBase
    \brief The QAxBase class is an abstract class that provides an API
    to initialize and access a COM object.

    \inmodule QAxContainer

    QAxBase is an abstract class that cannot be used directly, and is
    instantiated through the subclasses QAxObject and QAxWidget. This
    class provides the API to access the COM object directly
    through its IUnknown implementation. If the COM object implements
    the IDispatch interface, the properties and methods of that object
    become available as Qt properties and slots.

    \snippet src_activeqt_container_qaxbase.cpp 0

    Properties exposed by the object's IDispatch implementation can
    be read and written through the property system provided by the
    Qt Object Model (both subclasses are \l{QObject}s, so you can use
    QObject::setProperty() and QObject::property()). Properties with
    multiple parameters are not supported.

    \snippet src_activeqt_container_qaxbase.cpp 1

    Write-functions for properties and other methods exposed by the
    object's IDispatch implementation can be called directly using
    dynamicCall(), or indirectly as slots connected to a signal.

    \snippet src_activeqt_container_qaxbase.cpp 2

    Outgoing events supported by the COM object are emitted as
    standard Qt signals.

    \snippet src_activeqt_container_qaxbase.cpp 3

    QAxBase transparently converts between COM data types and the
    equivalent Qt data types. Some COM types have no equivalent Qt data structure.

    Supported COM datatypes are listed in the first column of following table.
    The second column is the Qt type that can be used with the QObject property
    functions. The third column is the Qt type that is used in the prototype of
    generated signals and slots for in-parameters, and the last column is the Qt
    type that is used in the prototype of signals and slots for out-parameters.

    Supported are also enumerations, and typedefs to supported types.

    To call the methods of a COM interface described by the following IDL

    \snippet src_activeqt_container_qaxbase.cpp 4

    use the QAxBase API like this:

    \snippet src_activeqt_container_qaxbase.cpp 5

    Note that the QList the object should fill has to be provided as an
    element in the parameter list of \l{QVariant}s.

    If you need to access properties or pass parameters of
    unsupported datatypes you must access the COM object directly
    through its \c IDispatch implementation or other interfaces.
    Those interfaces can be retrieved through queryInterface().

    \snippet src_activeqt_container_qaxbase.cpp 6

    To get the definition of the COM interfaces you will have to use the header
    files provided with the component you want to use. Some compilers can also
    import type libraries using the #import compiler directive. See the component
    documentation to find out which type libraries you have to import, and how to use
    them.

    If you need to react to events that pass parameters of unsupported
    datatypes you can use the generic signal that delivers the event
    data as provided by the COM event.

    \property QAxBase::control
    \brief the name of the COM object wrapped by this QAxBase object.

    Setting this property initializes the COM object. Any COM object
    previously set is shut down.

    The most efficient way to set this property is by using the
    registered component's UUID, e.g.

    \snippet src_activeqt_container_qaxbase.cpp 7

    The second fastest way is to use the registered control's class
    name (with or without version number), e.g.

    \snippet src_activeqt_container_qaxbase.cpp 8

    The slowest, but easiest way to use is to use the control's full
    name, e.g.

    \snippet src_activeqt_container_qaxbase.cpp 9

    It is also possible to initialize the object from a file, e.g.

    \snippet src_activeqt_container_qaxbase.cpp 10

    If the component's UUID is used the following patterns can be used
    to initialize the control on a remote machine, to initialize a
    licensed control or to connect to a running object:
    \list
    \li To initialize the control on a different machine use the following
    pattern:

    \snippet src_activeqt_container_qaxbase.cpp 11

    \li To initialize a licensed control use the following pattern:

    \snippet src_activeqt_container_qaxbase.cpp 12

    \li To connect to an already running object use the following pattern:

    \snippet src_activeqt_container_qaxbase.cpp 13

    \endlist
    The first two patterns can be combined, e.g. to initialize a licensed
    control on a remote machine:

    \snippet src_activeqt_container_qaxbase.cpp 14

    The control's read function always returns the control's UUID, if provided including the license
    key, and the name of the server, but not including the username, the domain or the password.

    If \a 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.

    \snippet src_activeqt_container_qaxbase.cpp 15

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

    \snippet src_activeqt_container_qaxbase.cpp 16

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

    \snippet src_activeqt_container_qaxbase.cpp 17

    Note that it is faster to get and set properties using
    QObject::property() and QObject::setProperty().

    dynamicCall() can also be used to call objects with a
    \l{QAxBase::disableMetaObject()}{disabled metaobject} wrapper,
    which can improve performance significantely, esp. when calling many
    different objects of different types during an automation process.
    ActiveQt will then however not validate parameters.

    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.

    \snippet src_activeqt_container_qaxbase.cpp 18

    This is also more efficient.
