Supply my own parameter (different from the Signal) to the Slot
-
I would like to supply my own parameter (different from the Signal) to the Slot. I know this code doesn't work, but perhaps it illustrates the idea of what I am trying to accomplish.
@QAction* a;
a = new QAction(this);
connect(action, SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SLOT(setFoo(1.0f)));
a = new QAction(this);
connect(action, SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SLOT(setFoo(2.0f)));@Is this possible, or what would you have done when faced with similar problem?

QSignalMapper could be the solution to your problem:
@
QAction* a1 = new QAction(this);
QAction* a2 = new QAction(this);QSignalMapper* mapper = new QSignalMapper(this);
mapper->setMapping(a1, 1);
mapper->setMapping(a2, 2);connect(a1, SIGNAL(triggered()), mapper, SLOT(map()));
connect(a2, SIGNAL(triggered()), mapper, SLOT(map()));connect(mapper, SIGNAL(mapped(int)), this, SLOT(setFoo(int)));
@QSignalMapper allows you to map QObject instances to integer, string and qobject pointers.
An explicit mapping to float or double is not possible, but that can be worked around. -

this is only possible in Qt5 and with a C++11 compatible compiler (also you need to have C++11 support configured Qt). See "here":http://qt-project.org/wiki/New_Signal_Slot_Syntax.
Keyword: "c++11 lambda expressions" -
I assumed the use of Qt 4 from the connection syntax in your code passage. In Qt5 with C++11 you can use the mentioned lambda expressions as well as std::bind:
@
#include <functional>
// ...// std::bind
std::function<void()> f1 = std::bind(&MyClass::mySlot, this, 5.0);
connect(this, &MyClass::mySignal, f1);// lambda expression
std::function<void()> f2 = this { mySlot(5.0); };
connect(this, &MyClass::mySignal, f2);

Either that, or just create a simple wrapper with another slot inside of which you emit the signal with the desired parameter. I guess QSM does the same thing internally. The C++11 lambda solution is the same concept, only instead of a named slot an unnamed function is used.
