| 29 | \class QSignalSpy | 
|---|
| 30 | \inmodule QtTest | 
|---|
| 31 |  | 
|---|
| 32 | \brief The QSignalSpy class enables introspection of signal emission. | 
|---|
| 33 |  | 
|---|
| 34 | QSignalSpy can connect to any signal of any object and records its emission. | 
|---|
| 35 | QSignalSpy itself is a list of QVariant lists. Each emission of the signal | 
|---|
| 36 | will append one item to the list, containing the arguments of the signal. | 
|---|
| 37 |  | 
|---|
| 38 | The following example records all signal emissions for the \c clicked() signal | 
|---|
| 39 | of a QCheckBox: | 
|---|
| 40 |  | 
|---|
| 41 | \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qsignalspy.qdoc 0 | 
|---|
| 42 |  | 
|---|
| 43 | \c{spy.takeFirst()} returns the arguments for the first emitted signal, as a | 
|---|
| 44 | list of QVariant objects. The \c clicked() signal has a single bool argument, | 
|---|
| 45 | which is stored as the first entry in the list of arguments. | 
|---|
| 46 |  | 
|---|
| 47 | The example below catches a signal from a custom object: | 
|---|
| 48 |  | 
|---|

|---|
| 50 |  | 
|---|
| 51 | \bold {Note:} Non-standard data types need to be registered, using | 
|---|
| 52 | the qRegisterMetaType() function, before you can create a | 
|---|
| 53 | QSignalSpy. For example: | 
|---|
| 54 |  | 
|---|
| 55 | \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qsignalspy.qdoc 2 | 
|---|
| 56 |  | 
|---|
| 57 | To retrieve the \c QModelIndex, you can use qvariant_cast: | 
|---|
| 58 |  |
