Exposing enum values in Qt Quick Designer (with a nice combobox)

crsn

Hi,

I wrote a simple plugin that exposes an enum property. It's a QtQuick2 extension plugin, loaded dynamically, and described by a plugin.qmltypes file, autogenerated using qmlplugindump.

Everything seems to work fine: I can use my QML custom widgets, I can assign the enum property in the QML, both via MyEnum.value1 or a string representing the enum value.

What I don't know is how t oexpose the property "myenum" in the designer pane of Qt Creator (v2.6.83 from git 2.7) so I can choose its value from a combobox containing all the possible enum values.

Am I missing something?

MyItem.h

@
#include <QQuickItem>

class MyItem : public QQuickItem
{
Q_OBJECT
Q_DISABLE_COPY(MyItem)

Q_PROPERTY(MyEnum myenum READ getMyEnum WRITE setMyEnum NOTIFY myEnumChanged DESIGNABLE true)
Q_ENUMS(MyEnum)

public:
MyItem(QQuickItem *parent = 0);
~MyItem();

enum MyEnum
{
  value1 = 0,
  value2,
  value3
};

void setMyEnum(MyEnum myNewEnum);
MyEnum getMyEnum() const;

signals:
void myEnumChanged(MyEnum);

private:
MyEnum m_myEnum;
};

QML_DECLARE_TYPE(MyItem)
@

plugins.qmltypes

@
Module {
Component {
name: "MyItem"
defaultProperty: "data"
prototype: "QQuickItem"
exports: ["MyItem 1.0"]
Enum {
name: "MyEnum"
values: {
"value1": 0,
"value2": 1,
"value3": 2
}
}
Property { name: "myenum"; type: "MyEnum" }
Signal {
name: "myEnumChanged"
Parameter { type: "MyEnum" }
}
}
}

I would be interested in that too. If nothing else works I would expose it as an int and communicate the values by tooltip but that is a little bit unsatisfactory.
