Detailed Description

\inmodule QtCore

The QMetaProperty class provides meta-data about a property.

Property meta-data is obtained from an object's meta-object. See QMetaObject::property() and QMetaObject::propertyCount() for details.

Member Function Documentation

◆ bindable()

QUntypedBindable QMetaProperty::bindable ( QObject * object ) const

Definition at line 4152 of file qmetaobject.cpp.

◆ enclosingMetaObject()

const QMetaObject * QMetaProperty::enclosingMetaObject ( ) const

inline

Definition at line 399 of file qmetaobject.h.

◆ enumerator()

QMetaEnum QMetaProperty::enumerator ( ) const

Returns the enumerator if this property's type is an enumerator type; otherwise the returned value is undefined.

See also: isEnumType(), isFlagType()

Definition at line 4004 of file qmetaobject.cpp.

◆ hasNotifySignal()

bool QMetaProperty::hasNotifySignal ( ) const

Returns true if this property has a corresponding change notify signal; otherwise returns false.

See also: notifySignal()

Definition at line 4244 of file qmetaobject.cpp.

◆ hasStdCppSet()

bool QMetaProperty::hasStdCppSet ( ) const

Returns true if the property has a C++ setter function that follows Qt's standard "name" / "setName" pattern. Designer and uic query hasStdCppSet() in order to avoid expensive QObject::setProperty() calls. All properties in Qt [should] follow this pattern.

Definition at line 3921 of file qmetaobject.cpp.

◆ isAlias()

bool QMetaProperty::isAlias ( ) const

Returns true if the property is an alias. This is for instance true for a property declared in QML as 'property alias'.

◆ isBindable()

bool QMetaProperty::isBindable ( ) const

Since: 6.0 Returns true if the {Q_PROPERTY()} exposes binding functionality; otherwise returns false.

This implies that you can create bindings that use this property as a dependency or install QPropertyObserver objects on this property. Unless the property is readonly, you can also set a binding on this property.

See also: QProperty, isWritable(), bindable()

Definition at line 4465 of file qmetaobject.cpp.

Definition at line 4407 of file qmetaobject.cpp.

◆ isFlagType()

bool QMetaProperty::isFlagType ( ) const

		const QVariant &	value ) const

Writes value as the property's value to the given object.

Returns true if the write succeeded; otherwise returns false.

If value is not of the same type as the property, a conversion is attempted. An empty QVariant() is equivalent to a call to reset() if this property is resettable, or setting a default-constructed object otherwise.
