List of custom object with Q_PROPERTYs as model?

[maxwell31]

Hi,

I have a vector of custom objects

 vector<MyObject> myVector;

which expose their variables via Q_PROPERTY to qml:

class MyObject:  public QObject {
  Q_OBJECT

  Q_PROPERTY(int prop1 READ prop1 WRITE setProp1 NOTIFY prop1Changed)
  Q_PROPERTY(int prop2 READ prop2 WRITE setProp2 NOTIFY prop2Changed)
 ...

I would like to make a model out of this vector, which I can use in a repeater. I know that it is possible to use

 _eng->rootContext()->setContextProperty("myModel",QVariant::fromValue(myVector));

but according to the docu

Note: There is no way for the view to know that the contents of a QList has changed. If the QList changes, it is necessary to reset the model by calling QQmlContext::setContextProperty() again.

I would like to avoid always calling setContextProperty. Is it possible to make a model out of my vector which automatically updates the GUI?

Or do I understand the doc wrong: If I don't change the elements of the vector but the properties inside an element, would there be an update?
