QMetaProperty Class

Detailed Description

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

Property Meta-Data

A property has a name() and a type(), as well as various attributes that specify its behavior: isReadable(), isWritable(), isDesignable(), isScriptable(), revision(), and isStored().

If the property is an enumeration, isEnumType() returns true; if the property is an enumeration that is also a flag (i.e. its values can be combined using the OR operator), isEnumType() and isFlagType() both return true. The enumerator for these types is available from enumerator().

The property's values are set and retrieved with read(), write(), and reset(); they can also be changed through QObject's set and get functions. See QObject::setProperty() and QObject::property() for details.

Copying and Assignment

QMetaProperty objects can be copied by value. However, each copy will refer to the same underlying property meta-data.
