QGraphicsItem::type() enum value to key

[sonichy]

QList<QGraphicsItem*> list_GI = scene->selectedItems();
for (int i=0; i<list_GI.size(); i++) {
    QMetaEnum metaEnum = QMetaEnum::fromType<QGraphicsItem::anonymous>(); //no member named 'anonymous' in 'QGraphicsItem';
    qDebug() << list_GI[i] << metaEnum.valueToKey(list_GI[i]->type());
    //qDebug() << list_GI[i] << list_GI[i]->type();
    //QGraphicsItem(0x7b6f60, pos=-53,-31, flags=(ItemIsMovable|ItemIsSelectable)) 10
}

For example: change qDebug 2 to QGraphicsPathItem.

@sonichy
and your question is?

@sonichy

You want that your qDebug prints QGraphicPathItem instead of type 10?

See

• https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qgraphicsitem.html#type
• https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qgraphicsitem.html#anonymous-enum

I guess the problem is, that the enum is not declared as Q_ENUM

Qt source code:

• https://code.woboq.org/qt5/qtbase/src/widgets/graphicsview/qgraphicsitem.h.html#QGraphicsPathItem::Type

So QMetaEnum::fromType(......) wont work and you cant map the type integer to the name directly with fromType

EDIT:

I'm wondering why? :)
Intentionally?

Does anyone know more about this? Some public Qt enums are declared with Q_ENUM and some just don't...
Qt::GlobalColor for example works fine and can get mapped perfectly.
