My application is written in C++ and uses the Qt framework. I use the QAxWidget class to access an active x component. Now I need some kind of mechanism that notifies my application each time the active x component

  1. has crashed or
  2. does not respond any more (due to dead lock or infinite loop).

(1) can easily been done by watching the external process of the active x component. But maybe there is a more elegant approach?

But how can (2) be implemented?
