Custom Widget Class Properties

[Andy314]

Hello !
I need some widgets derived from some standard wigets with similar additional functionality (same Properties).
My first idea was templates, but a QObject template is not possible.
Now I try to integrate all poperties in a QObject subclass. The custom wiget gets this class property with inclusive its subproberties.
Is this possible ? Can I get a entry in the property explorer, which shows in expanding mode the subproperties similar to the Font property.
I tried this, but

    TPropTest itsPropTest;        // a QObject class with properties
    Q_PROPERTY(TPropTest PropTest READ readPropTest)
    TPropTest readPropTest() { return itsPropTest; }

The problem is that a QObject has no copyconstructor.
What can I do ????

Hi,

You have to use a pointer to your QObject if you want to use it like that

@SGaist

    TPropTest itsPropTest;
    Q_PROPERTY(TPropTest* PropTest READ readPropTest)
    TPropTest* readPropTest() { return &itsPropTest; }

This shows no PropTest in the explorer.
Must I integrate a setter for the whole class ? and how ?

I missed the point about the Property Explorer, I'm really not sure it can handle an embedded object like that.

The setter follows the same logic as any other property: setReadPropTest(TPropTest *tPropTest);
