What is the simplest way of exposing a vector of custom c++ objects with Q_Properties to qml?

Hi,

I have a class like this

class MyClass{
Q_GADGET
Q_PROPERTY(QString programName READ programName)
Q_PROPERTY(QDateTime timeStamp MEMBER _timestamp)
Q_PROPERTY(QUrl iconFile MEMBER _icon)

I did notmake it a QObject, as otherwise I get errors regarding call to implicitly-deleted copy constructor, as I use the implicit copy constructor of my object at other places.

Then I have a std::vector<MyClass> of these objects. What is the simplest way of exposing my vector to QML so I can use it as a model with my properties as roles?

Hi,

What about Extending QML - Object and List Property Types Example chapter of Qt's documentation ?

Yes this works. I just thought if there might not be an easier way. One of the things I don't like is that I need to derive from QObject (does not work with copy constructors).

@maxwell31

have you tried to store your Class objects in a QList<myClass> *myList?

And than access it from qml via

QVariant getClassList(){QVariant::fromValue(myList)}

works fine with QObjects, should work with QGadget, but, I'm not 100% sure.
