Custom compound property in QDesigner properties editor

Igor Y

Hello

Is there any way to show compound property of custom widget in QDesigner's property editor?
For example:

class MyProp {
    Q_GADGET
  public:
    Q_PROPERTY(double a READ a WRITE setA)
    Q_PROPERTY(double b READ b WRITE setB)

    double a() const;
    double b() const;
    void setA(double);
    void setB(double);

  private:
    double m_a;
    double m_b;
  };

  class MyWidget: public QWidget {
    Q_OBJECT
  public:
    Q_PROPERTY(MyProp prop READ prop WRITE setProp)
    MyProp prop() const;
    void setProp(const MyProp&);

  private:
    MyProp m_prop;
  };

I expected it would display as (for example) QSize property.
But QDesigner does not display prop in properties editor.

(I've omitted part about qdesigner plugin to make question clearer)

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I haven't played with such a construct but I see several problems:

MyProp is a Q_GADGET so it can't have Q_PROPERTY
You didn't declare/register MyProp as a metatype usable by your application.

Only a subset of QVariant types are supported by the designer plugins. Scroll down here for a list.
