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:

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:
