In Qt (4.6), is it ok to call slots directly?

Question

I found myself in the need of having to call a slot directly. I think it's perfectly fine doing it as long as it makes sense in your design. What do you think?

Thanks

Yes.. Slots are just normal functions and you can call them directly..

From docs,

A slot is called when a signal connected to it is emitted. Slots are normal C++ functions and can be called normally; their only special feature is that signals can be connected to them.
