+    \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 doc/src/snippets/code/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 QObjects, so you can use
+    QObject::setProperty() and QObject::property()). Properties with
+    multiple parameters are not supported.
+
+    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/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 doc/src/snippets/code/src_activeqt_container_qaxbase.cpp 2
+
+    Outgoing events supported by the COM object are emitted as
+    standard Qt signals.
+
+    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/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.

+
+    To call the methods of a COM interface described by the following IDL
+
+    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_activeqt_container_qaxbase.cpp 4
+
+    use the QAxBase API like this:
+
+    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/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 doc/src/snippets/code/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.

+
+    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_activeqt_container_qaxbase.cpp 7
+

+
+    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_activeqt_container_qaxbase.cpp 8
+
+    The slowest, but easiest way to use is to use the control's full
+    name, e.g.
+
+    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_activeqt_container_qaxbase.cpp 9
+
+    It is also possible to initialize the object from a file, e.g.
+
+    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/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
+    \i To initialize the control on a different machine use the following
+    pattern:
+
+    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_activeqt_container_qaxbase.cpp 11
+
+    \i To initialize a licensed control use the following pattern:

+

+
+    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_activeqt_container_qaxbase.cpp 13

+    a value or when the function call failed.
+
+    If \a function is a method of the object the string must be provided

+    QObject::connect() call.
+
+    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_activeqt_container_qaxbase.cpp 15
+
+    Alternatively a function can be called passing the parameters embedded

+
+    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/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 doc/src/snippets/code/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
