Detailed Description

Properties are created by objects of QtAbstractPropertyManager subclasses; a manager can create properties of a given type, and is used in conjunction with the QtAbstractPropertyBrowser class. A property is always owned by the manager that created it, which can be retrieved using the propertyManager() function.

QtProperty contains the most common property attributes, and provides functions for retrieving as well as setting their values:

Getter	Setter
propertyName()	setPropertyName()
statusTip()	setStatusTip()
toolTip()	setToolTip()
whatsThis()	setWhatsThis()
isEnabled()	setEnabled()
isModified()	setModified()
valueText()	Nop
valueIcon()	Nop

It is also possible to nest properties: QtProperty provides the addSubProperty(), insertSubProperty() and removeSubProperty() functions to manipulate the set of subproperties. Use the subProperties() function to retrieve a property's current set of subproperties. Note that nested properties are not owned by the parent property, i.e. each subproperty is owned by the manager that created it.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ~QtProperty()

~QtProperty ( )

virtual

Destroys this property.

Note that subproperties are detached but not destroyed, i.e. they can still be used in another context.

See also: QtAbstractPropertyManager::clear()

◆ QtProperty()

QtProperty ( QtAbstractPropertyManager * manager )

explicitprotected

Creates a property with the given manager.

This constructor is only useful when creating a custom QtProperty subclass (e.g. QtVariantProperty). To create a regular QtProperty object, use the QtAbstractPropertyManager::addProperty() function instead.

See also: QtAbstractPropertyManager::addProperty()

Member Function Documentation

◆ addSubProperty()

void addSubProperty ( QtProperty * property )

Appends the given property to this property's subproperties.

If the given property already is added, this function does nothing.

See also: insertSubProperty(), removeSubProperty()

◆ displayText()

QString displayText ( ) const

Returns the display text according to the echo-mode set on the editor.

When the editor is a QLineEdit, this will return a string equal to what is displayed.

See also: QtAbstractPropertyManager::valueText()

◆ getGlobalName()

QString getGlobalName ( ) const

◆ hasValue()

bool hasValue ( ) const

Returns whether the property has a value.

See also: QtAbstractPropertyManager::hasValue()

◆ insertSubProperty()

void insertSubProperty	(	QtProperty *	property,
		QtProperty *	precedingProperty
	)

Inserts the given property after the specified precedingProperty into this property's list of subproperties. If precedingProperty is 0, the specified property is inserted at the beginning of the list.

If the given property already is inserted, this function does nothing.
