bool myClass::eventFilter(QObject *object, QEvent *event) {
    if(event->type() == QEvent::MouseButtonRelease) {
        auto o = static_cast<someClass *>(object);
        emit clicked(o->getName(), o->isValid())
        return true;
    }

    return QScrollArea::eventFilter(object, event);
}

clicked()'s declaration:

void clicked(const QString &name, bool isValid);

and I have another class where I do a connect:

QObject::connect(ob, SIGNAL(clicked(const QString &, bool)), SLOT(load(const QString &, bool)));

in load I print the passed values and I got 80 and 64 for bool:

void otherClass::load(const QString &name, bool isValid) {
    std::cout << name.toStdString() << ' ' <<  isValid << std::endl;
}

When I print the values from eventFilter(), I still get 80 for bool. However, if I print the value of isValid() from another place, I get correct 0 or 1.

Why is this? and how can I get correct bool values in my slot?
