Correct way to reset/unset a property

[SPlatten]

Is there a way to reset / unset a property so the system goes back to a state before setProperty has been called, psuedo example:

    setProperty("simon", someData);  //Assigns someData to the property "simon"
    unsetProperty("simon");  //Removes "simon" so it doesn't exist anymore.

[Edit] I've created a QMap in my class instead of using properties to resolve this.

Are you talking about dynamic properties? Then you can 'remove' them by just calling QObject::setProperty() by setting an invalid QVariant, e.g.

setProperty("simon", someData);  //Assigns someData to the property "simon"
setProperty("simon", QVariant());  //Removes "simon" so it doesn't exist anymore.

@kkoehne , thank you, this could be implemented as a macro doing exactly that by improving readability.

@SPlatten
Do stuff as inline functions instead of macros these days :)

@JonB completely agree, I had exactly this conversation where I’m working suggesting the same.
