Incompatible sender/receiver arguments

I have 2 classes A and B

class A has a signal emitMessage(QString)
class B has a slot showMessage(QString, int)

is there a way to connect these two with constant int value, something like

connect(A, SIGNAL(emitCritical(QString, 5)), B, SLOT(showMessage(QString, int)));

or
connect(A, SIGNAL(emitCritical(QString)), B, SLOT(showMessage(QString, 5)));

I know that if signal had more arguments, they will be ignored in slot, but is it possible to have default values for slot arguments

Try QSignalMapper

Yes, but if you have a function with default argument let's call it void foo(QString &s, int i = 10) how do you call it with default i value? Like this: foo(some_qstring); so delete the magic 5 from the connection.

I kind of tried that before i started this thread but i wrote
in declaration showMessage(QString, int)
in definition showMessage(QString msg, int interval = 5)

the correct answer was
in declaration showMessage(QString, int = 5)
in definition showMessage(QString msg, int interval)

now i can connect them with
connect(A, SIGNAL(emitCritical(QString)), B, SLOT(showMessage(QString)));

Thanks for your help,
