Typedef Documentation

typedef QString(* GammaRay::VariantHandler::GenericStringConverter) (const QVariant &value, bool *ok)

Callback type for generic string converters.

Function Documentation

QVariant GammaRay::VariantHandler::decoration ( const QVariant value)

Returns a value representing value in a itemview decoration role.

Parameters
valueis a QVariant.
Returns
a QVariant itemview decoration role.
QString GammaRay::VariantHandler::displayString ( const QVariant value)

Returns a human readable string version of the QVariant value.

Converts to the variant type and prints the string value accordingly.

Parameters
valueis a QVariant.
Returns
a QString containing the human readable string.
template<typename T >
QString GammaRay::VariantHandler::displayString ( value)
inline

Returns a human readable string version of the given value.

Thihs is a convenience overload of the QVariant-based version above.

Returns
a QString containing the human readable string.
void GammaRay::VariantHandler::registerGenericStringConverter ( GenericStringConverter  converter)

Register a generic string conversion function for various variant types.

This can be used when you have a converter that can dynamically check if it can handle a given variant, and the types it can handle aren't known at compile time (example: QQmlListProperty).

Parameters
converterThe converter function. It's second parameter is used to indicate if the value could be handled.
void GammaRay::VariantHandler::registerStringConverter ( int  type,
Converter< QString > *  converter 
)

Register a string conversion functions for a variant type.

template<typename T , typename FuncT >
void GammaRay::VariantHandler::registerStringConverter ( FuncT  f)
inline

Register a string conversion function for a variant type.

Template Parameters
TThe type for which to use this converter function.
QVariant GammaRay::VariantHandler::serializableVariant ( const QVariant value)

Converts the given variant into an variant of a different type that can be transferred to another process.

This is most prominently needed for pointer types, e.g. const QMatrix4x4* -> QMatrix4x4, primarily for the fancy display delegate on the client side.
