Detailed Description¶

As QML uses Qt’s meta-type system all of the existing QMetaObject classes can be used to introspect and interact with objects created by QML. However, some of the new features provided by QML - such as type safety and attached properties - are most easily used through the QQmlProperty class that simplifies some of their natural complexity.

Unlike QMetaProperty which represents a property on a class type, QQmlProperty encapsulates a property on a specific object instance. To read a property’s value, programmers create a QQmlProperty instance and call the read() method. Likewise to write a property value the write() method is used.

For example, for the following QML code:

The Text object’s properties could be accessed using QQmlProperty , like this:
#include <QQmlProperty>
#include <QGraphicsObject>

...

QQuickView view(QUrl::fromLocalFile("MyItem.qml"));
QQmlProperty property(view.rootObject(), "font.pixelSize");
qWarning() << "Current pixel size:" << property.read().toInt();
property.write(24);
qWarning() << "Pixel size should now be 24:" << property.read().toInt();

QQmlContext

Create an invalid QQmlProperty .

Creates a QQmlProperty for the default property of obj . If there is no default property, an invalid QQmlProperty will be created.

Creates a QQmlProperty for the default property of obj using the context ctxt . If there is no default property, an invalid QQmlProperty will be created.

Creates a QQmlProperty for the default property of obj using the environment for instantiating QML components that is provided by engine . If there is no default property, an invalid QQmlProperty will be created.

PySide2.QtQml.QQmlProperty.PropertyTypeCategory¶

This enum specifies a category of QML property.

Constant	Description
QQmlProperty.InvalidCategory	The property is invalid, or is a signal property.
QQmlProperty.List	The property is a `QQmlListProperty` list property
QQmlProperty.Object	The property is a `QObject` derived type pointer
QQmlProperty.Normal	The property is a normal value property.

PySide2.QtQml.QQmlProperty.Type¶

This enum specifies a type of QML property.

Constant	Description
QQmlProperty.Invalid	The property is invalid.
QQmlProperty.Property	The property is a regular Qt property.
QQmlProperty.SignalProperty	The property is a signal property.

PySide2.QtQml.QQmlProperty.connectNotifySignal(dest, slot)¶

Parameters

dest – QObject
slot – str

Return type

bool

Connects the property’s change notifier signal to the specified slot of the dest object and returns true. Returns false if this metaproperty does not represent a regular Qt property or if it has no change notifier signal, or if the dest object does not have the specified slot .

Note

slot should be passed using the SLOT() macro so it is correctly identified.

PySide2.QtQml.QQmlProperty.connectNotifySignal(dest, method)

Parameters

dest – QObject
method – int

Return type

bool

Connects the property’s change notifier signal to the specified method of the dest object and returns true. Returns false if this metaproperty does not represent a regular Qt property or if it has no change notifier signal, or if the dest object does not have the specified method .

PySide2.QtQml.QQmlProperty.hasNotifySignal()¶

Return type: bool

Returns true if the property has a change notifier signal, otherwise false.

PySide2.QtQml.QQmlProperty.index()¶

Return type: int

Return the Qt metaobject index of the property.

PySide2.QtQml.QQmlProperty.isDesignable()¶

Return type: bool

Returns true if the property is designable, otherwise false.

PySide2.QtQml.QQmlProperty.isProperty()¶

Return type: bool

Returns true if this QQmlProperty represents a regular Qt property.

PySide2.QtQml.QQmlProperty.isResettable()¶

Return type: bool

Returns true if the property is resettable, otherwise false.

PySide2.QtQml.QQmlProperty.isSignalProperty()¶

Return type: bool

Returns true if this QQmlProperty represents a QML signal property.

PySide2.QtQml.QQmlProperty.isValid()¶

Return type: bool

Returns true if the QQmlProperty refers to a valid property, otherwise false.

PySide2.QtQml.QQmlProperty.isWritable()¶

Return type: bool

Returns true if the property is writable, otherwise false.

PySide2.QtQml.QQmlProperty.method()¶

Return type: QMetaMethod

Return the QMetaMethod for this property if it is a SignalProperty , otherwise returns an invalid QMetaMethod .

PySide2.QtQml.QQmlProperty.name()¶

Return type: unicode

Return the name of this QML property.

PySide2.QtQml.QQmlProperty.needsNotifySignal()¶

Return type: bool

Returns true if the property needs a change notifier signal for bindings to remain upto date, false otherwise.

Some properties, such as attached properties or those whose value never changes, do not require a change notifier.

PySide2.QtQml.QQmlProperty.object()¶

Return type: QObject

Returns the QQmlProperty ‘s QObject .

PySide2.QtQml.QQmlProperty.__eq__(arg__1)¶

Parameters: arg__1 – QQmlProperty
Return type: bool

Returns true if other and this QQmlProperty represent the same property.

PySide2.QtQml.QQmlProperty.property()¶

Return type: QMetaProperty

Returns the Qt property associated with this QML property.

PySide2.QtQml.QQmlProperty.propertyType()¶

Return type: int

Returns the QVariant type of the property, or Invalid if the property has no QVariant type.

PySide2.QtQml.QQmlProperty.propertyTypeCategory()¶

Return type: PropertyTypeCategory

Returns the property category.

PySide2.QtQml.QQmlProperty.propertyTypeName()¶

Return type: str

Returns the type name of the property, or 0 if the property has no type name.

static PySide2.QtQml.QQmlProperty.read(arg__1, arg__2)¶

Parameters

arg__1 – QObject
arg__2 – unicode

Return type

object

Return the name property value of object . This method is equivalent to:

QQmlProperty p(object, name);
p.read();

static PySide2.QtQml.QQmlProperty.read(arg__1, arg__2, arg__3)

Parameters

arg__1 – QObject

PySide2.QtQml.QQmlProperty.read()

Return type: object

Returns the property value.

PySide2.QtQml.QQmlProperty.reset()¶

Return type: bool

Return type: Type

Returns the type of the property.

static PySide2.QtQml.QQmlProperty.write(arg__1, arg__2, arg__3)¶

Parameters

arg__1 – QObject
arg__2 – unicode
arg__3 – object

Return type

bool

Writes value to the name property of object . This method is equivalent to:

QQmlProperty p(object, name);
p.write(value);

Returns true on success, false otherwise.
