I need to assign a pointer to a custom class in qml using QQmlContext::setContextProperty()
. Another qml object has Q_PROPERTY
of the same type to retrieve it again.
A simple test showed me that the conversion does not work like i thought.
#include <QCoreApplication>
#include <QDebug>
#include <QMetaType>
class TestClass
{
public: TestClass() { qDebug() << "TestClass()::TestClass()"; }
};
Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(TestClass*)
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QCoreApplication app(argc, argv);
qDebug() << "metaTypeId =" << qMetaTypeId<TestClass*>();
auto testObject = new TestClass;
QVariant variant(qMetaTypeId<TestClass*>(), testObject);
auto test = variant.value<TestClass*>();
qDebug() << testObject << variant << test;
return 0;
}
This tiny test application gives me an output like this:
metaTypeId = 1024
TestClass::TestClass()
0x1b801e0 QVariant(TestClass*, ) 0x0
I would really like to get the same pointer out again after converting it down to a QVariant
. Later I will assign it to a qml context and then the conversation must work correctly.
This works for me using Qt 5.9:
#include <QVariant>
#include <QDebug>
class CustomClass
{
public:
CustomClass()
{
}
};
Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(CustomClass*)
class OtherClass
{
public:
OtherClass()
{
}
};
Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(OtherClass*)
int main()
{
CustomClass *c = new CustomClass;
OtherClass *o = new OtherClass;
QVariant v;
v.setValue(c);
QVariant v2;
v2.setValue(o);
qDebug() << v.userType() << qMetaTypeId<CustomClass*>() << v2.userType() << qMetaTypeId<OtherClass*>();
qDebug() << v.value<CustomClass*>() << c << v2.value<OtherClass*>() << o;
return 0;
}
And the output i got:
1024 1024 1025 1025
0x81fca50 0x81fca50 0x81fca60 0x81fca60
