What is the difference between macros Q_INVOKABLE and Q_PROPERTY?
-
I know the basic usage of both the macros. I've using Q_PROPERTY to access the cpp objects in qml.
Lately I came across Q_INVOKABLE also and I read it can used by qt moc to access member functions in qml.
I'm bit confused regarding on what basis and how do I decide which macro to be used and when? Thanks. -

Q_PROPERTY is a property (with a getter, maybe a setter, notifier signal, etc) which enables you bindings etc.
Q_INVOKABLE simply marks a method to be callable via moc (and thus also via QML for example), nothing more. Similar to slots for example.

Q_PROPERTY(Priority priority READ priority WRITE setPriority NOTIFY priorityChanged)And for Q_INVOKABLE and following with that example, you could imagine a method applyPriority for example so if you apply Q_INVOKABLE to it, it could be called from some other C++ classes or even from QML as mentioned before.
