I'm trying to test drive the QQmlPropertyMap
class. It seems like it might work well for what I want, if I can subclass it. The documentation here even gives some rudimentary instructions on what to do for subclassing it. Said documentation also indicates that this class derives from QObject
.
For what it's worth, I'm using QtCreator 2.6.1 on Qt 5.0.0 with QtQuick 2.0.
My main.qml:
import QtQuick 2.0
Rectangle {
width: 360
height: 360
Text {
text: owner.field
anchors.centerIn: parent
}
MouseArea {
anchors.fill: parent
onClicked: {
owner.testFunc();
}
}
}
My main.cpp:
#include <QtGui/QGuiApplication>
#include "qtquick2applicationviewer.h"
#include "TestMap.h"
#include <QQmlContext>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
TestMap* map = new TestMap();
QGuiApplication app(argc, argv);
QtQuick2ApplicationViewer viewer;
QQmlContext* ctxt = viewer.rootContext();
ctxt->setContextProperty("owner", map);
viewer.setMainQmlFile(QStringLiteral("qml/TestMap/main.qml"));
viewer.showExpanded();
return app.exec();
}
My TestMap.h
#ifndef TESTMAP_H
#define TESTMAP_H
#include <QObject>
#include <QQmlPropertyMap>
#include <QDebug>
class TestMap: public QQmlPropertyMap // QObject
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
TestMap(QObject* parent = 0): QQmlPropertyMap(this, parent) // QObject(parent)
{
insert("field", "value"); // Comment this out
}
TestMap(const TestMap& value) { }
virtual ~TestMap() {}
public slots:
void testFunc()
{
qDebug() << "Success!";
}
};
Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(TestMap)
#endif
When I run, I get a window saying "value", as I'd expect. But when I click on the window, I get a console output saying
TypeError: Property 'testFunc' of object TestMap(0xaaa0b8) is not a function
I've looked for similar problems, but all the search results are about people that forgot to include the Q_OBJECT
macro. It must be something I'm doing wrong in the code, because if I make all the changes indicated in the comments of the TestMap file (and leave the main.cpp and main.qml exactly as is), I get the qDebug
message I expect.
I'm not sure whether I'm supposed to Q_DECLARE_METATYPE
or not (I think the 2-arg protected constructor is supposed to do it for me), but it doesn't work either way.
For the record, the only things I have to change to get it to work are:
1) Derive from QObject
instead of QQmlPropertyMap
.
2) Change the constructor to:
TestMap(QObject* parent = 0): QObject(parent) {}
And that's it. Since it works when I don't change anything about the main.cpp, main.qml, or the slot itself, I have to conclude it's nothing wrong with those. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
