+ \class QCollection qcollection.h
+ \brief The QCollection class is the base class of all Qt collections.
+
+ \ingroup collection
+ \ingroup tools
+
+ The QCollection class is an abstract base class for the Qt \link
+ collection.html collection classes\endlink QDict, QList etc. via QGDict,
+ QGList etc.
+
+ A QCollection knows only about the number of objects in the
+ collection and the deletion strategy (see setAutoDelete()).
+
+ A collection is implemented using the \c Item (generic collection
+ item) type, which is a \c void*. The template classes that create
+ the real collections cast the \c Item to the required type.

+
+ Constructs a copy of \a source with autoDelete() set to FALSE. The

+ good way to get memory leaks, reading freed memory, or both.

+ \fn void QCollection::setAutoDelete( bool enable )
+
+ Sets the auto-delete option of the collection.
+
+ Enabling auto-delete (\e enable is TRUE) will delete objects that
+ are removed from the collection. This can be useful if the
+ collection has the only reference to the objects. (Note that the
+ object can still be copied using the copy constructor - copying such
+ objects is a good way to get memory leaks, reading freed memory or
+ both.)
