Error: Unknown method return type

[DuBu]

Hi,

I have a custom type declared in C++:

class MyType : public QObject {
  Q_OBJECT
  ...
};

In main.cpp I registered that Type:

qmlRegisterType<MyType>("MyType", 1, 0, "MyType");

Somewhere else I've got a function returning a pointer to that type:

Q_INVOKABLE MyType* getMyType() const { ... }

So far, so good. But when I call the function getMyType() from QML, I get the following error:

Error: Unknown method return type: MyType*

What am I missing?

@DuBu said in Error: Unknown method return type:

maybe import MyType 1.0 in you qml?

[DuBu]

@KroMignon No, I forgot to mention, MyType was already imported.

MyType* and MyType are different types and must be registered separately. Also it may be better/easier just to return QObject* instead of MyType*, properties/stots will be visible in QML.
