        I'm happy to hear that :) And you even marked the thread as solved - perfection itself. Happy further coding.

          Ok, I have one more question with respect to this :)
          What I have done is something like:
          @Q_INVOKABLE QString getUrl(QString urlParameter);@

          But in many tutorials I have seen now, the use
          @Q_INVOKABLE QString getNewsUrl(const QString &urlParameter);@

          Which one is more correct?

          Also. Having javascript "var" variables that contains integers, is there a way to pass this types to C++ instead of strings? Or should I convert them in C++? I mean... Using
          @Q_INVOKABLE QString getNewsUrl(int urlParameter);@
          gives me no right values in urlParameter variables...

          :)

            Why would you assume the one is 'more' correct than the other. By what measure exactly?

            Some coding guidelines tell you to use const references for function arguments that as used unchanged by the function, and in that context using the const QString& might be more correct. But not everybody uses this guideline. For efficieny, there is very little gain here, as QString is implicitly shared and thus very fast to copy as a value.

              As Andre already covered the top part, I'll take on the bottom one. QML automatically translates JS values to C++ ones. So, for int you get c++ int, for real you get Qt's qreal, for string it's QString, for arrays is complicated (as you can store anything there. But basically QObjectList tends to work in most cases, or QVariantList etc.). There is no need for conversion of those basic types.

                So, I need to understand why
                @
                var parameter = 1;
                ...
                myClass.myFunc(parameter)
                @
                works if myFunct is defined with QString and does not work if defined with int... ;)

                Thanks guys!!! :)

                    This is indeed strange. Be sure to make a full app rebuild (clean, run qmake, build) just to make sure that MOC updates the definitions. It quite definitely works for me. Alternatively, you can try using QVariant in c++ declaration, and then calling ::toInt() on the value - but that should not be necessary.

                      Solved with a QString::number(parameter)...

                      Damn me... :P

                        Happens to everybody :) That took me by surprise a few times, too. I tend to forget about ::number() especially when I'm tired and after prolonged QML-only phases :D
