QMetaEnum

[No-Nonsense]

It has to be declared there because the dock widget class uses it in a property. If it wasn't declared, Designer wouldn't be able to handle it.

I looked at the qdockwidget.h and there is no Q_ENUMS declaration... or do you mean it gets declared because it is used in a property?

I tried:

const QMetaObject metaObject = QDockWidget::staticMetaObject;
const QMetaEnum metaEnum = metaObject.enumerator(metaObject.indexOfEnumerator("Qt::DockWidgetArea"));
qDebug() "metaObject.isValid() = " << metaObject.isValid(); // false!!!
Qt::DockWidgetArea area = metaEnum.keyToValue("Qt::RightDockWidgetArea"); // -1 (key not found)

const QMetaObject metaObject = QDockWidget::staticMetaObject;
const QMetaEnum metaEnum = metaObject.enumerator(metaObject.indexOfEnumerator("Qt::DockWidgetArea"));
qDebug() "metaObject.isValid() = " << metaObject.isValid(); // false!!!
Qt::DockWidgetArea area = metaEnum.keyToValue("Qt::RightDockWidgetArea"); // -1 (key not found)

Any idea what I am doing wrong?
