"has a relation" to work with designer ?

[thejester]

Hi all...

if i have the following code fragment :

//
//
class QDESIGNER_WIDGET_EXPORT CTest : public QObject
{
Q_OBJECT
//
Q_PROPERTY( QString TestString READ getTestString WRITE setTestString )
public:
//
CTest()
:QObject()
{
};
~CTest()
{
};
CTest& operator= ( CTest& v)
{
TestString = v.getTestString();
return *this;
};
QString getTestString () { return TestString; };
void setTestString( QString value ) { TestString = value ; };
protected:
//
private:
//
QString TestString;
};
//
class QDESIGNER_WIDGET_EXPORT EQtDataView : public QWidget 
{
Q_OBJECT
//
Q_PROPERTY( QString ExportIdOffset READ getExportIdOffset WRITE setExportIdOffset )
//
Q_PROPERTY( QString ClearParamID READ getClearParamID WRITE setClearParamID )
//
Q_PROPERTY( QString DataSource0ID READ getDataSource0ID WRITE setDataSource0ID )
Q_PROPERTY( QString DataSource1ID READ getDataSource1ID WRITE setDataSource1ID )
Q_PROPERTY( QString DataSource2ID READ getDataSource2ID WRITE setDataSource2ID )
Q_PROPERTY( QString DataSource3ID READ getDataSource3ID WRITE setDataSource3ID )
//
Q_PROPERTY( QColor BackgroundColor READ getBackgroundColor WRITE setBackgroundColor )
Q_PROPERTY( QColor GridColor READ getGridColor WRITE setGridColor )
//
Q_ENUMS( ePlotMode )
Q_PROPERTY( ePlotMode PlotMode READ getPlotMode WRITE setPlotMode )
//
Q_PROPERTY( CTest MyTest READ getMyTest WRITE setMyTest )
public:
//
CTest MyTest;
CTest& getMyTest()
{
return MyTest;
};
void setMyTest( CTest& value )
{
MyTest = value;
};
//

//
//
class QDESIGNER_WIDGET_EXPORT CTest : public QObject
{
Q_OBJECT
//
Q_PROPERTY( QString TestString READ getTestString WRITE setTestString )
public:
//
CTest()
:QObject()
{
};
~CTest()
{
};
CTest& operator= ( CTest& v)
{
TestString = v.getTestString();
return *this;
};
QString getTestString () { return TestString; };
void setTestString( QString value ) { TestString = value ; };
protected:
//
private:

QString TestString;
};
//
class QDESIGNER_WIDGET_EXPORT EQtDataView : public QWidget

public:

void setMyTest( CTest& value )
{
MyTest = value;
};
//

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Would one not expect the properties of CTest to show up in the designer ?
Am i doing something completely wrong here ?

All the other properties of the dataview ARE displayed in the designer.

Thanks for any help !

Did you write a designer plugin for it?

[thejester]

Yes for the dataview i did..... The data view component is available/displayed in the designer. The Q_PropertY of the dataview are visible in the designer....
The Q_PropertY of the CTest are not.....

Do i have to add plugin code for the CTest as well for this to work ?

I think you'll need to implement a QDesignerPropertySheetExtension to give the property sheet a chance to represent custom class of yours.

[thejester]

you mean for the CTest class ?

[jpn]

No, I mean that you should provide a property sheet extension for the EQtDataView-plugin. Qt Designer is unable to handle EQtDataView's property which is of custom type, namely CTest. You will have to tell Qt Designer how to handle such property via property sheet extension.
