QVariant isArray ?

SPlatten

Is there a generic way to identify if the data assigned to a QVariant is an array?

I know there is the type function, but I'm looking for something that may already exist before I re-invent the wheel.

@SPlatten What do you mean by array? QByteArray?
And what is the problem with type()?

SPlatten

@jsulm , I was looking for a generic way of determining if the data stored in the QVariant was singular or multiplies like a QByteArray.

I just wanted to know if there was already a way of determining this.

Short answer: no

Long answer: it depends how you are using it. QVariant::type() will return an enum value to let you know what is the type of the stored value.
To be able to store a value into a QVariant, this value has to be already known or register with Q_DECLARE_METATYPE()
QVariant::type() will let you know the variable type, and then you can get the according value with QVariant::value<TypeOfTheVariable>()

@SPlatten OK, now I understand.
I don't think there is already built-in functionality for this.
