Detailed Description

The QQuickAttachedPropertyPropagator class provides a way to propagate attached properties.

\inmodule QtQuickControls2

Since
6.5

In QML, it is possible to \l {Attached Properties and Attached Signal Handlers}{attach properties and signal handlers} to objects. \l {Providing Attached Properties} goes into more detail about how to expose your own C++ attached types.

QQuickAttachedPropertyPropagator provides an API to propagate attached properties from a parent object to its children, similar to \l {Control::}{font} and \l {Item::}{palette} propagation. It supports propagation through \l {Item}{items}, \l {Popup}{popups}, and \l {Window}{windows}.

If propagation of properties is not important, consider using a \l {QML_SINGLETON}{C++} or \l {Contents of a Module Definition qmldir File}{QML} singleton instead, as it is better suited for that use case, and is more efficient in that it only requires one QObject.

To use QQuickAttachedPropertyPropagator: \list

  • Derive from it
  • Call \l initialize() in the constructor
  • Define set/inherit/propagate/reset functions for each property as needed
  • Reimplement \l attachedParentChange() to handle property inheritance
  • Implement a static qmlAttachedProperties function and declare the type as an attached QML type with \l QML_ELEMENT and \l QML_ATTACHED, as detailed in \l {Providing Attached Properties} \endlist

For an example that demonstrates this in depth, see \l {Qt Quick Controls - Attached Style Properties Example}.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QQuickAttachedPropertyPropagator()

QQuickAttachedPropertyPropagator::QQuickAttachedPropertyPropagator ( QObject * parent = nullptr)
explicit

Constructs a QQuickAttachedPropertyPropagator with the given parent.

The parent will be used to find this object's \l {attachedParent()}{attached parent}.

Derived classes should call \l initialize() in their constructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ attachedChildren()

QList< QQuickAttachedPropertyPropagator * > QQuickAttachedPropertyPropagator::attachedChildren ( ) const

This function returns the attached children of this attached object.

The attached children are used when propagating property values:

\quotefromfile ../../examples/quickcontrols/attachedstyleproperties/MyStyle/mystyle.cpp \skipto MyStyle::propagateTheme \printuntil } \printuntil }

Definition at line 412 of file qquickattachedpropertypropagator.cpp.

◆ attachedParent()

QQuickAttachedPropertyPropagator * QQuickAttachedPropertyPropagator::attachedParent ( ) const

This function returns the attached parent of this attached object.

The attached parent is used when inheriting property values:

\quotefromfile ../../examples/quickcontrols/attachedstyleproperties/MyStyle/mystyle.cpp \skipto MyStyle::resetTheme \printuntil }

Definition at line 427 of file qquickattachedpropertypropagator.cpp.

◆ attachedParentChange()

void QQuickAttachedPropertyPropagator::attachedParentChange ( QQuickAttachedPropertyPropagator * newParent,
QQuickAttachedPropertyPropagator * oldParent )
protectedvirtual

This function is called whenever the attached parent of this QQuickAttachedPropertyPropagator changes from oldParent to newParent.

Subclasses should reimplement this function to inherit attached properties from newParent.

\quotefromfile ../../examples/quickcontrols/attachedstyleproperties/MyStyle/mystyle.cpp \skipto attachedParentChange \printuntil } \printuntil }

Reimplemented in QQuickImagineStyle, QQuickMaterialStyle, and QQuickUniversalStyle.

Definition at line 479 of file qquickattachedpropertypropagator.cpp.

◆ initialize()

void QQuickAttachedPropertyPropagator::initialize ( )
protected

Finds and sets the attached parent for this attached object, and then does the same for its children.

This must be called upon construction of the attached object in order for propagation to work.

It can be useful to read global/default values before calling this function. For example, before calling initialize(), the \l {Imagine Style}{Imagine} style checks a static "globalsInitialized" flag to see if it should read default values from \l QSettings. The values from that file form the basis for any attached property values that have not been explicitly set.

\quotefromfile ../../examples/quickcontrols/attachedstyleproperties/MyStyle/mystyle.cpp \skipto MyStyle::MyStyle \printuntil }
