.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The QMetaObject class contains meta information about Qt objects.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The Meta Object System in Qt is responsible for the signals and slots inter-object communication mechanism, runtime type information and the property system. All meta information in Qt is kept in a single instance of QMetaObject per class.
|
|
.PP
|
|
This class is not normally required for application programming. But if you write meta applications, such as scripting engines or GUI builders, you might find these functions useful:
|
|
.TP
|
|
className() to get the name of a class.
|
|
.TP
|
|
superClassName() to get the name of the superclass.
|
|
.TP
|
|
inherits(), the function called by QObject::inherits().
|
|
.TP
|
|
superClass() to access the superclass's meta object.
|
|
.TP
|
|
numSlots(), numSignals(), slotNames(), and signalNames() to get information about a class's signals and slots.
|
|
.TP
|
|
property() and propertyNames() to obtain information about a class's properties.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Classes may have a list of name-value pairs of class information. The number of pairs is returned by numClassInfo(), and values are returned by classInfo().
|
|
.PP
|

.SH MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION
|
|
.SH "const QClassInfo * QMetaObject::classInfo ( int index, bool super = FALSE ) const"
|
|
Returns the class information with index \fIindex\fR or 0 if no such information exists.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If \fIsuper\fR is TRUE, inherited class information is included.
|
|
.SH "const char * QMetaObject::classInfo ( const char * name, bool super = FALSE ) const"
|
|
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Returns the class information with name \fIname\fR or 0 if no such information exists.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If \fIsuper\fR is TRUE, inherited class information is included.
|
|
.SH "const char * QMetaObject::className () const"
|
|
Returns the class name.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also QObject::className() and superClassName().
|
|
.SH "int QMetaObject::findProperty ( const char * name, bool super = FALSE ) const"
|
|
Returns the index for the property with name \fIname\fR or -1 if no such property exists.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If \fIsuper\fR is TRUE, inherited properties are included.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also property() and propertyNames().
|
|
.SH "bool QMetaObject::inherits ( const char * clname ) const"
|
|
Returns TRUE if this class inherits \fIclname\fR within the meta object inheritance chain; otherwise returns FALSE.
|
|
.PP
|
|
(A class is considered to inherit itself.)
|
|
.SH "int QMetaObject::numClassInfo ( bool super = FALSE ) const"
|
|
Returns the number of items of class information available for this class.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If \fIsuper\fR is TRUE, inherited class information is included.
|
|
.SH "int QMetaObject::numProperties ( bool super = FALSE ) const"
|
|
Returns the number of properties for this class.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If \fIsuper\fR is TRUE, inherited properties are included.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also propertyNames().
|
|
.SH "int QMetaObject::numSignals ( bool super = FALSE ) const"
|
|
Returns the number of signals for this class.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If \fIsuper\fR is TRUE, inherited signals are included.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also signalNames().
|
|
.SH "int QMetaObject::numSlots ( bool super = FALSE ) const"
|
|
Returns the number of slots for this class.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If \fIsuper\fR is TRUE, inherited slots are included.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also slotNames().
|
|
.SH "const QMetaProperty * QMetaObject::property ( int index, bool super = FALSE ) const"
|
|
Returns the property meta data for the property at index \fIindex\fR or 0 if no such property exists.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If \fIsuper\fR is TRUE, inherited properties are included.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also propertyNames().
|
|
.SH "QStrList QMetaObject::propertyNames ( bool super = FALSE ) const"
|
|
Returns a list with the names of all this class's properties.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If \fIsuper\fR is TRUE, inherited properties are included.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also property().
|
|
.SH "QStrList QMetaObject::signalNames ( bool super = FALSE ) const"
|
|
Returns a list with the names of all this class's signals.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If \fIsuper\fR is TRUE, inherited signals are included.
|
|
.SH "QStrList QMetaObject::slotNames ( bool super = FALSE ) const"
|
|
Returns a list with the names of all this class's slots.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If \fIsuper\fR is TRUE, inherited slots are included.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also numSlots().
|
|
.SH "QMetaObject * QMetaObject::superClass () const"
|
|
Returns the meta object of the super class or 0 if there is no such object.
|
|
.SH "const char * QMetaObject::superClassName () const"
|
|
Returns the class name of the superclass or 0 if there is no superclass in the QObject hierachy.
|
|
.PP
|
|
