Extending QML - Default Property ExampleFiles:
This example builds on:
The Default Property Example is a minor modification of the Extending QML - Inheritance and Coercion Example that simplifies the specification of a BirthdayParty through the use of a default property. BirthdayParty { host: Boy { name: "Bob Jones" shoeSize: 12 } Boy { name: "Leo Hodges" } Boy { name: "Jack Smith" } Girl { name: "Anne Brown" } } Declaring the BirthdayParty classThe only difference between this example and the last, is the addition of the DefaultProperty class info annotation. class BirthdayParty : public QObject { Q_OBJECT Q_PROPERTY(Person *host READ host WRITE setHost) Q_PROPERTY(QDeclarativeListProperty<Person> guests READ guests) Q_CLASSINFO("DefaultProperty", "guests") public: BirthdayParty(QObject *parent = 0); Person *host() const; void setHost(Person *); QDeclarativeListProperty<Person> guests(); int guestCount() const; Person *guest(int) const; private: Person *m_host; QList<Person *> m_guests; }; The default property specifies the property to assign to whenever an explicit property is not specified, in the case of the BirthdayParty element the guest property. It is purely a syntactic simplification, the behavior is identical to specifying the property by name, but it can add a more natural feel in many situations. The default property must be either an object or list property. Running the exampleThe main.cpp file in the example includes a simple shell application that loads and runs the QML snippet shown at the beginning of this page. © 2008-2011 Nokia Corporation and/or its subsidiaries.
