QVariant canConvert<>() issue

[nikhilqt]

Hi,

I have a issue regarding canConvert<>() template function. Consider the following example,

QVariant varConvertToDouble;
varConvertToDouble.clear();
varConvertToDouble = ASD28E+01;
 
bool bCheck = varConvertToDouble.canConvert<double>(); // Here bCheck is 'true'
bool bCheck2 = varConvertToDouble.canConvert(QVariant::Double); // Here bCheck2 is 'true'
 
bool* bValid = new bool();
varConvertToDouble.toDouble(bValid); // Here *bValid is 'false'

QVariant varConvertToDouble;
varConvertToDouble.clear();
varConvertToDouble = ASD28E+01;
			
bool bCheck = varConvertToDouble.canConvert<double>(); // Here bCheck is 'true'
bool bCheck2 = varConvertToDouble.canConvert(QVariant::Double); // Here bCheck2 is 'true'

bool* bValid = new bool();
varConvertToDouble.toDouble(bValid); // Here *bValid is 'false'

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

As a result the 2 APIs of QVariant are contradicting to each other. Could anybody please throw light on this?

PS: I have found a similar thread http://www.qtcentre.org/threads/1921...ght=canconvert. But there is no confirming answer to this.

Thanks,
