<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p> The QMetaProperty class stores meta data about a property.
<p> Property meta data includes <a href="#type">type</a>(), <a href="#name">name</a>(), and whether a property is
<a href="#writable">writable</a>(), <a href="#designable">designable</a>() and <a href="#stored">stored</a>().
<p> The functions <a href="#isSetType">isSetType</a>(), <a href="#isEnumType">isEnumType</a>() and <a href="#enumKeys">enumKeys</a>() provide
further information about a property's type. The conversion
functions <a href="#keyToValue">keyToValue</a>(), <a href="#valueToKey">valueToKey</a>(), <a href="#keysToValue">keysToValue</a>() and
<a href="#valueToKeys">valueToKeys</a>() allow conversion between the integer representation of
an enumeration or set value and its literal representation.
<p> Actual property values are set and received through <a href="qobject.html">QObject</a>'s set
and get functions. See <a href="qobject.html#setProperty">QObject::setProperty</a>() and
<a href="qobject.html#property">QObject::property</a>() for details.
<p> You receive meta property data through an object's <a href="metaobjects.html#meta-object">meta object</a>. See
<a href="qmetaobject.html#property">QMetaObject::property</a>() and <a href="qmetaobject.html#propertyNames">QMetaObject::propertyNames</a>() for details.
<p>See also <a href="objectmodel.html">Object Model</a>.
<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2>
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="designable"></a>QMetaProperty::designable ( <a href="qobject.html">QObject</a> * o ) const
</h3>
Returns TRUE if the property is designable for object <em>o</em>;
otherwise returns FALSE.
<h3 class=fn><a href="qstrlist.html">QStrList</a> <a name="enumKeys"></a>QMetaProperty::enumKeys () const
</h3>
Returns the possible enumeration keys if this property is an
enumeration type (or a set type).
<p> <p>See also <a href="#isEnumType">isEnumType</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="isEnumType"></a>QMetaProperty::isEnumType () const
</h3>
<p> Returns whether the property's type is an enumeration value.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#isSetType">isSetType</a>() and <a href="#enumKeys">enumKeys</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="isSetType"></a>QMetaProperty::isSetType () const
</h3>
<p> Returns whether the property's type is an enumeration value that is
used as set, i.e. whether the enumeration values can be OR'ed together. A
set type is implicitly also an enum type.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#isEnumType">isEnumType</a>() and <a href="#enumKeys">enumKeys</a>().
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="keyToValue"></a>QMetaProperty::keyToValue ( const char * key ) const
</h3>
Converts the enumeration key <em>key</em> to its integer
value.
<p> For set types, use <a href="#keysToValue">keysToValue</a>().
<p> <p>See also <a href="#valueToKey">valueToKey</a>(), <a href="#isSetType">isSetType</a>() and <a href="#keysToValue">keysToValue</a>().
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="keysToValue"></a>QMetaProperty::keysToValue ( const <a href="qstrlist.html">QStrList</a> & keys ) const
</h3>
Converts the list of keys <em>keys</em> to their combined integer
value.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#isSetType">isSetType</a>() and <a href="#valueToKey">valueToKey</a>().
<h3 class=fn>const char * <a name="name"></a>QMetaProperty::name () const
</h3>
<p> Returns the name of the property.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="reset"></a>QMetaProperty::reset ( <a href="qobject.html">QObject</a> * o ) const
</h3>
Tries to reset the property for object <em>o</em> with a reset method. On
success, returns TRUE; otherwise returns FALSE.
<p> Reset methods are optional, usually only a few properties support
them.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="scriptable"></a>QMetaProperty::scriptable ( <a href="qobject.html">QObject</a> * o ) const
</h3>
Returns TRUE if the property is scriptable for object <em>o</em>;
otherwise returns FALSE.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="stored"></a>QMetaProperty::stored ( <a href="qobject.html">QObject</a> * o ) const
</h3>
Returns TRUE if the property shall be stored for object <em>o</em>;
otherwise returns FALSE.
<h3 class=fn>const char * <a name="type"></a>QMetaProperty::type () const
</h3>
<p> Returns the type of the property.
<h3 class=fn>const char * <a name="valueToKey"></a>QMetaProperty::valueToKey ( int value ) const
</h3>
Converts the enumeration value <em>value</em> to its literal key.
<p> For set types, use <a href="#valueToKeys">valueToKeys</a>().
<p> <p>See also <a href="#isSetType">isSetType</a>() and <a href="#valueToKeys">valueToKeys</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="qstrlist.html">QStrList</a> <a name="valueToKeys"></a>QMetaProperty::valueToKeys ( int value ) const
</h3>
Converts the set value <em>value</em> to a list of keys.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#isSetType">isSetType</a>() and <a href="#valueToKey">valueToKey</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="writable"></a>QMetaProperty::writable () const
</h3>
<p> Returns whether the property is writable or not.
