DWT does not use tango.core.Signal
In DWT the SWT like typed and untyped listeners are used. For convinience
template functions exist to make the use of "curried"-delegates in a typesafe
way available.

See dgRunnable, dgListener.

Hi Frank,

Well noted DWT uses typed and untyped listener.Just wanna know more about the
performance.AFAIK,the performance of signal & slot is far slower than call back
functions,how about listeners?Is it slower than signal & slots or in the middle
of call back functions and S&S?

Thanks,
Sam

The concept of s&s is mainly, that they disconnect automatically and does not
prevent an object from GC collection. It is not about performance IMO.
The Listeners in DWT do use a virtual function call. So the call performance is
not much of relevance, i think. But the creation of a Listener itself is always
using a Heap allocated object. That might be of relevance.
