enum to QString

[bibhukalyana]

Hi everyone,
I am trying to get the string value of enum.
My classa.h:

class classA : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
    Q_ENUMS(errType)
public:
    enum errType{SUCCESS,ERROR};
    classA();
 
};

class classA : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
    Q_ENUMS(errType)
public:
    enum errType{SUCCESS,ERROR};
    classA();

};

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

main.cpp:

int index = classA::staticMetaObject.indexOfEnumerator("errType");
qDebug()<<index;
 
const QMetaObject & mo = classA::staticMetaObject;
qDebug() << "Available enums in" << mo.className() << ":" << mo.enumeratorCount();

int index = classA::staticMetaObject.indexOfEnumerator("errType");
qDebug()<<index;

const QMetaObject & mo = classA::staticMetaObject;
qDebug() << "Available enums in" << mo.className() << ":" << mo.enumeratorCount();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

If i will compile with Q_OBJECT then undefined reference to classA::staticMetaObject and undefined reference to vtable for classA built error will come.
If i will compile without Q_OBJECT then compilation will be fine.But index will be -1 and enumetator count will be 0.

Please tell how i will register the enum and get the string value of enum.

Thanks.

Rerun qmake.

Thanks it is working.

Can i register a global enum using Q_ENUMS ?

[wysota]

What do you consider a "global enum"?

I think the OP means an enum declared outside a class

The enum must be inside a class with Q_OBJECT or Q_GADGET macros or the supporting infrastructure is not there for QMetaObject and friends.
