function.</p>
<p>A QMetaMethod has a <a href="qmetamethod.html#methodType">methodType</a>(), a <a href="qmetamethod.html#signature">signature</a>(), a list of <a href="qmetamethod.html#parameterTypes">parameterTypes</a>() and <a href="qmetamethod.html#parameterNames">parameterNames</a>(), a return
<a href="qmetamethod.html#typeName">typeName</a>(), a <a href="qmetamethod.html#tag">tag</a>(), and an <a href="qmetamethod.html#access">access</a>() specifier. You can use
<a href="qmetamethod.html#invoke">invoke</a>() to invoke the method
on an arbitrary <a href="qobject.html">QObject</a>.</p>
<p>A method will only be registered with the meta-object system if
it is a slot, a signal, or declared with the <a href="qobject.html#Q_INVOKABLE">Q_INVOKABLE</a> macro. Constructors can
also be registered with <a href="qobject.html#Q_INVOKABLE">Q_INVOKABLE</a>.</p>

<p>Signals are always protected, meaning that you can only emit
them from the class or from a subclass.</p>
<p><b>See also</b> <a href="qmetamethod.html#methodType">methodType</a>().</p>

Returns true if
the member could be invoked. Returns false if there is no such
member or the parameters did not match.</p>
<p>The invocation can be either synchronous or asynchronous,
depending on the <i>connectionType</i>:</p>
<ul>
<li>If <i>connectionType</i> is <a href="qt.html#ConnectionType-enum">Qt.DirectConnection</a>, the member
will be invoked immediately.</li>
<li>If <i>connectionType</i> is <a href="qt.html#ConnectionType-enum">Qt.QueuedConnection</a>, a <a href="qevent.html">QEvent</a> will be posted and the member is invoked
as soon as the application enters the main event loop.</li>
<li>If <i>connectionType</i> is <a href="qt.html#ConnectionType-enum">Qt.AutoConnection</a>, the member is
invoked synchronously if <i>object</i> lives in the same thread as
the caller; otherwise it will invoke the member
asynchronously.</li>
</ul>
<p>The return value of this method call is placed in
<i>returnValue</i>. If the invocation is asynchronous, the return
value cannot be evaluated. You can pass up to ten arguments
(<i>val0</i>, <i>val1</i>, <i>val2</i>, <i>val3</i>, <i>val4</i>,
<i>val5</i>, <i>val6</i>, <i>val7</i>, <i>val8</i>, and
<i>val9</i>) to this method call.</p>
<p><a href="qgenericargument.html">QGenericArgument</a> and
<a href="qgenericreturnargument.html">QGenericReturnArgument</a>
are internal helper classes. Because signals and slots can be
dynamically invoked, you must enclose the arguments using the
<a href="qmetaobject.html#Q_ARG">Q_ARG</a>() and <a href="qmetaobject.html#Q_RETURN_ARG">Q_RETURN_ARG</a>() macros. <a href="qmetaobject.html#Q_ARG">Q_ARG</a>() takes a type name and a const
reference of that type; <a href="qmetaobject.html#Q_RETURN_ARG">Q_RETURN_ARG</a>() takes a type
name and a non-const reference.</p>
<p>To asynchronously invoke the <a href="qabstractbutton.html#animateClick">animateClick()</a> slot on a
<a href="qpushbutton.html">QPushButton</a>:</p>
<pre class="cpp">
<span class="type">int</span> methodIndex <span class="operator">=</span> pushButton<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span>metaObject()<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span>indexOfMethod(<span class="string">"animateClick()"</span>);

</pre>
<p>With asynchronous method invocations, the parameters must be of
types that are known to Qt's meta-object system, because Qt needs
to copy the arguments to store them in an event behind the scenes.

<h3 class="fn"><a name="tag" />str QMetaMethod.tag (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns the tag associated with this method.</p>
<p>Tags are special macros recognized by <tt>moc</tt> that make it
possible to add extra information about a method.</p>
<p>Tag information can be added in the following way in the
function declaration:</p>
<pre class="cpp">
<span class="preprocessor">#define THISISTESTTAG // tag text</span>
<span class="operator">.</span><span class="operator">.</span><span class="operator">.</span>
<span class="keyword">private</span> <span class="keyword">slots</span>:
THISISTESTTAG <span class="type">void</span> testFunc();
</pre>
<p>and the information can be accessed by using:</p>
<pre class="cpp">
MainWindow win;
win<span class="operator">.</span>show();
<span class="type">int</span> functionIndex <span class="operator">=</span> win<span class="operator">.</span>metaObject()<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span>indexOfSlot(<span class="string">"testFunc()"</span>);
<span class="type"><a href="qmetamethod.html">QMetaMethod</a></span> mm <span class="operator">=</span> metaObject()<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span>method(functionIndex);
<a href="qtcore.html#qDebug">qDebug</a>() <span class="operator"><</span><span class="operator"><</span> mm<span class="operator">.</span>tag(); <span class="comment">// prints THISISTESTTAG</span>
</pre>
<p>For the moment, <tt>moc</tt> doesn't support any special
tags.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="typeName" />str QMetaMethod.typeName (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns the return type of this method, or an empty string if
the return type is <i>void</i>.</p>
