<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The QSignalSpy class enables introspection of signal emission.</p>
<p>QSignalSpy can connect to any signal of any object and records its emission. QSignalSpy itself is a list of <a href="qvariant.html">QVariant</a> lists. Each emission of the signal will append one item to the list, containing the arguments of the signal.</p>
<p>The following example records all signal emissions for the <tt>clicked()</tt> signal of a <a href="qcheckbox.html">QCheckBox</a>:</p>
<pre class="cpp"> <span class="type"><a href="qcheckbox.html">QCheckBox</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>box <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="operator">.</span><span class="operator">.</span><span class="operator">.</span>;
<span class="type">QSignalSpy</span> spy(box<span class="operator">,</span> SIGNAL(clicked(<span class="type">bool</span>)));
<span class="comment">// do something that triggers the signal</span>
box<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span>animateClick();
<a href="qtest.html#QCOMPARE">QCOMPARE</a>(spy<span class="operator">.</span>count()<span class="operator">,</span> <span class="number">1</span>); <span class="comment">// make sure the signal was emitted exactly one time</span>
<span class="type"><a href="qlist.html">QList</a></span><span class="operator">&lt;</span><span class="type"><a href="qvariant.html">QVariant</a></span><span class="operator">&gt;</span> arguments <span class="operator">=</span> spy<span class="operator">.</span><a href="qlist.html#takeFirst">takeFirst</a>(); <span class="comment">// take the first signal</span>
<a href="qtest.html#QVERIFY">QVERIFY</a>(arguments<span class="operator">.</span>at(<span class="number">0</span>)<span class="operator">.</span>toBool() <span class="operator">=</span><span class="operator">=</span> <span class="keyword">true</span>); <span class="comment">// verify the first argument</span></pre>
<p><tt>spy.takeFirst()</tt> returns the arguments for the first emitted signal, as a list of <a href="qvariant.html">QVariant</a> objects. The <tt>clicked()</tt> signal has a single bool argument, which is stored as the first entry in the list of arguments.</p>
<p>The example below catches a signal from a custom object:</p>
<pre class="cpp"> <span class="type">QSignalSpy</span> spy(myCustomObject<span class="operator">,</span> SIGNAL(mySignal(<span class="type">int</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="type"><a href="qstring.html">QString</a></span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="type">double</span>)));
myCustomObject<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span>doSomething(); <span class="comment">// trigger emission of the signal</span>
<span class="type"><a href="qlist.html">QList</a></span><span class="operator">&lt;</span><span class="type"><a href="qvariant.html">QVariant</a></span><span class="operator">&gt;</span> arguments <span class="operator">=</span> spy<span class="operator">.</span><a href="qlist.html#takeFirst">takeFirst</a>();
<a href="qtest.html#QVERIFY">QVERIFY</a>(arguments<span class="operator">.</span>at(<span class="number">0</span>)<span class="operator">.</span>type() <span class="operator">=</span><span class="operator">=</span> <span class="type"><a href="qvariant.html">QVariant</a></span><span class="operator">::</span>Int);
<a href="qtest.html#QVERIFY">QVERIFY</a>(arguments<span class="operator">.</span>at(<span class="number">1</span>)<span class="operator">.</span>type() <span class="operator">=</span><span class="operator">=</span> <span class="type"><a href="qvariant.html">QVariant</a></span><span class="operator">::</span><span class="type"><a href="qstring.html">QString</a></span>);
<a href="qtest.html#QVERIFY">QVERIFY</a>(arguments<span class="operator">.</span>at(<span class="number">2</span>)<span class="operator">.</span>type() <span class="operator">=</span><span class="operator">=</span> <span class="type"><a href="qvariant.html">QVariant</a></span><span class="operator">::</span><span class="type">double</span>);</pre>
<p><b>Note:</b> Non-standard data types need to be registered, using the <a href="qmetatype.html#qRegisterMetaType">qRegisterMetaType</a>() function, before you can create a QSignalSpy. For example:</p>
<pre class="cpp"> <a href="qmetatype.html#qRegisterMetaType">qRegisterMetaType</a><span class="operator">&lt;</span><span class="type"><a href="qmodelindex.html">QModelIndex</a></span><span class="operator">&gt;</span>(<span class="string">&quot;QModelIndex&quot;</span>);
<span class="type">QSignalSpy</span> spy(<span class="operator">&amp;</span>model<span class="operator">,</span> SIGNAL(whatever(<span class="type"><a href="qmodelindex.html">QModelIndex</a></span>)));</pre>
<p>To retrieve the <tt>QModelIndex</tt>, you can use qvariant_cast:</p>
<pre class="cpp"> <span class="comment">// get the first argument from the first received signal:</span>
<span class="type"><a href="qmodelindex.html">QModelIndex</a></span> result <span class="operator">=</span> qvariant_cast<span class="operator">&lt;</span><span class="type"><a href="qmodelindex.html">QModelIndex</a></span><span class="operator">&gt;</span>(spy<span class="operator">.</span>at(<span class="number">0</span>)<span class="operator">.</span>at(<span class="number">0</span>));</pre>
