QVariant with Custom Type

[kasmanit]

Hello Everyone,

I Have a custom type, let say MyClassA

class MyClassA
{
    function a();
    function b();
    ....
};
Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(MyClassA);

class MyClassA
{
    function a();
    function b();
    ....
};
Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(MyClassA);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

In my program I use a QCombobox, so i have the need of a QVariant, so I use

MyClassA a
QVariant var = QVariant::fromValue(a);

MyClassA a
QVariant var = QVariant::fromValue(a);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

My Question is, once I get back the QVariant, with the signal "currentindexchange" for example, how can I use the function of the class MyClassA, on the QVariant?

ThanksYou

Ok So I have Found a solution, and for now, before another solution I'm doing:

QVariant var2 = ui->comboBox_3->itemData(index);
MyClassA classA = var2.value<MyClassA>();

QVariant var2 = ui->comboBox_3->itemData(index);
MyClassA classA = var2.value<MyClassA>();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Hope this will help someone

You should read up on type casting. I suggest a good C++ book.

eh?

eh?

What are you confused about? Did I say something wrong?

I dont see how casting is relevant since you cannot use simple casts to recover 'proper' types from a QVariant.
