    I have a header file, and i defined the class, the signals as follows:
    Mysystem.h

    class Mysystem : public SystemCan
    {
    Q_OBJECT
    Q_PROPERTY(QString pNumber MEMBER m_pNumber NOTIFY pNumberChanged)
    
    public:
    explicit Mysystem(quint8 x, quint64 y, QObject *parent = 0);
    
    signals:
        void pNumberChanged();
    
    private:
        QString m_pNumber;
    };
    
    

    and functions are set in .h file and .cpp file as well.

    When I tried to get the value of pNumber I did this also in my main c++ file:

    main.cpp

    Mysystem mysystem;  // but here i got an error because i should give 2 arguments, but i dont know how to do this
    
    
    viewer.rootContext()->setContextProperty("thepnumber", &mysystem);
    
    

    In my QML file i just want to read this variable like this:

    console.log (thepnumber.pNumber)
    

    I wonder how to solve this argument problem, or if there is another way to solve this, i would appreciate that

      @mamoud said in Calling a variable from C++ in QML:

      Q_PROPERTY(QString pNumber MEMBER m_pNumber NOTIFY pNumberChanged)

      This will not do what you think it will do. Q_PROPERTY doesn't do any magic on the NOTIFY argument, it will not get automatically triggered if you set the property, you should split it into READ and WRITE and implement emitting the signal in the WRITE method

      Just pass them to the constructor: Mysystem mysystem(0,0);

      thanks
      do you mean like this:

      Q_PROPERTY(QString pNumber READ pNumber_read WRITE pNumber_write NOTIFY pNumber_changed)
      

      and adding this as well:

      public: QVariant pNumber_read() const;
      public slots: void pNumber_write(QString value);  // i am not sure about this
      signals: void pNumber_changed();
      private: QString m_pNumber;

          Pro (QtCreator) tip:

          write

          Q_PROPERTY(QString pNumber READ pNumber WRITE setPNumber NOTIFY pNumberChanged)

          right click on Q_PROPERTY
          select Refactor
          click on Generate Missing Q_Property Members

          saves a lot of time

            Great thank you,

            but i still have this problem, that i cannot read the value in QML when i write this:

            console.log (thepnumber.pNumber)
            

            it shows nothing

              more context please, where exactly is this called?


              //General solution
              Connections{
              target: thepnumber

              onpNumberChanged: console.log(thepnumber.pNumber)

                  pageEnter

                  and when you call pageEnter?

                      if you write

                      function pageEnter() {
                      console.log("Enter Function to get Number")
                      console.log("The part is: " + thepnumber.pNumber)
                      }

                      do you see any console logs?

                        Did you set a value to m_pNumber? if you never assign anything to it than it's totally natural that the log shows an empty string.

                          Enter Function to get Number
                          and also i see
                          The part is:
                          but no value is shown for thepnumber.pNumber

                            No but this m_pNumber should get values from a CAN signal (canalyzer) which is set in .cpp file
