Calling functions with typedef arguments in qml

[chezgi]

what is the difference between this two functions when calling from qml:

typedef QVariantMap NewType;
Q_INVOKABLE QVariantMap testFunc();
Q_INVOKABLE NewType testFunc();

calling first function works but calling second function gives error.
how can i tell to qml engine that NewType is same as QVariantMap?

Hi and welcome to devnet,

You need to register your new types to make them known to Qt and QML

thanks SGaist,
we can only register QObject derived types.
this type is QVariantMap.

Indeed, sorry I didn't state it explicitly, you have more information about the procedure "here":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtqml/qtqml-cppintegration-definetypes.html
