Description</h2> <p>The <a href="qqmllistreference.html">QQmlListReference</a> class allows the manipulation of <a href="qqmllistproperty.html">QQmlListProperty</a> properties.</p> <p><a href="qqmllistreference.html">QQmlListReference</a> allows C++ programs to read from, and assign values to a QML list property in a simple and type-safe way. A <a href="qqmllistreference.html">QQmlListReference</a> can be created by passing an object and property name or through a <a href="qqmlproperty.html">QQmlProperty</a> instance. These two are equivalent:</p> <pre class="cpp"> <span class="type"><a href="qqmllistreference.html#QQmlListReference">QQmlListReference</a></span> ref1(object<span class="operator">,</span> <span class="string">"children"</span>); <span class="type"><a href="qqmlproperty.html">QQmlProperty</a></span> ref2(object<span class="operator">,</span> <span class="string">"children"</span>); <span class="type"><a href="qqmllistreference.html#QQmlListReference">QQmlListReference</a></span> ref2 <span class="operator">=</span> qvariant_cast<span class="operator"><</span><span class="type"><a href="qqmllistreference.html#QQmlListReference">QQmlListReference</a></span><span class="operator">></span>(ref2<span class="operator">.</span>read()); </pre> <p>Not all QML list properties support all operations. A set of methods, <a href="qqmllistreference.html#canAppend">canAppend</a>(), <a href="qqmllistreference.html#canAt">canAt</a>(), <a href="qqmllistreference.html#canClear">canClear</a>() and <a href="qqmllistreference.html#canCount">canCount</a>() allow programs to query whether an operation is supported on a given property.</p> <p>QML list properties are type-safe. Only QObject's that derive from the correct base class can be assigned to the list. The <a href="qqmllistreference.html#listElementType">listElementType</a>() method can be used to query the QMetaObject of the QObject type supported. Attempting to add objects of the incorrect type to a list property will fail.</p> <p>Like with normal lists, when accessing a list element by index, it is the callers responsibility to ensure that it does not request an out of range element using the <a href="qqmllistreference.html#count">count</a>() method before calling <a href="qqmllistreference.html#at">at</a>().</p> </div> <!-- @@@QQmlListReference --> <div class="func"> <h2>Member Function Documentation</h2> <!-- $$$QQmlListReference[overload1]$$$QQmlListReference --> <h3 class="fn" id="QQmlListReference"><a name="QQmlListReference"></a>QQmlListReference::<span class="name">QQmlListReference</span>()</h3> <p>Constructs an invalid instance.</p> <!-- @@@QQmlListReference --> <!-- $$$QQmlListReference$$$QQmlListReferenceQObject*constchar*QQmlEngine* --> <h3 class="fn" id="QQmlListReference-1"><a name="QQmlListReference-1"></a>QQmlListReference::<span class="name">QQmlListReference</span>(<span class="type">QObject</span> *<i>object</i>, const <span class="type">char</span> *<i>property</i>, <span class="type"><a href="qqmlengine.html">QQmlEngine</a></span> *<i>engine</i> = nullptr)</h3> <p>Constructs a <a href="qqmllistreference.html">QQmlListReference</a> for <i>object</i>'s <i>property</i>.
