The PySide.QtDeclarative.QDeclarativeProperty class abstracts accessing properties on objects created from QML.
As QML uses Qt’s meta-type system all of the existing PySide.QtCore.QMetaObject classes can be used to introspect and interact with objects created by QML. However, some of the new features provided by QML - such as type safety and attached properties - are most easily used through the PySide.QtDeclarative.QDeclarativeProperty class that simplifies some of their natural complexity.
Unlike PySide.QtCore.QMetaProperty which represents a property on a class type, PySide.QtDeclarative.QDeclarativeProperty encapsulates a property on a specific object instance. To read a property’s value, programmers create a PySide.QtDeclarative.QDeclarativeProperty instance and call the PySide.QtDeclarative.QDeclarativeProperty.read() method. Likewise to write a property value the PySide.QtDeclarative.QDeclarativeProperty.write() method is used.
For example, for the following QML code:
// MyItem.qml import QtQuick 1.0 Text { text: "A bit of text" }The Text object’s properties could be accessed using PySide.QtDeclarative.QDeclarativeProperty , like this:
#include <QDeclarativeProperty> #include <QGraphicsObject> ... QDeclarativeView view(QUrl::fromLocalFile("MyItem.qml")); QDeclarativeProperty property(view.rootObject(), "font.pixelSize"); qWarning() << "Current pixel size:" << property.read().toInt(); property.write(24); qWarning() << "Pixel size should now be 24:" << property.read().toInt();

Creates a PySide.QtDeclarative.QDeclarativeProperty for the default property of obj . If there is no default property, an invalid PySide.QtDeclarative.QDeclarativeProperty will be created.
Creates a PySide.QtDeclarative.QDeclarativeProperty for the default property of obj using the context ctxt . If there is no default property, an invalid PySide.QtDeclarative.QDeclarativeProperty will be created.
Creates a PySide.QtDeclarative.QDeclarativeProperty for the default property of obj using the environment for instantiating QML components that is provided by engine . If there is no default property, an invalid PySide.QtDeclarative.QDeclarativeProperty will be created.

Creates a PySide.QtDeclarative.QDeclarativeProperty for the property name of obj using the context ctxt .
Creating a PySide.QtDeclarative.QDeclarativeProperty without a context will render some properties - like attached properties - inaccessible.

Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Return type: | PySide.QtCore.bool |
Connects the property’s change notifier signal to the specified slot of the dest object and returns true. Returns false if this metaproperty does not represent a regular Qt property or if it has no change notifier signal, or if the dest object does not have the specified slot .

Return type: | unicode |
---|
Return the name of this QML property.
Return type: | PySide.QtCore.bool |

---|
Returns the Qt property associated with this QML property.
Return type: | PySide.QtCore.int |
---|
Returns the PySide.QtCore.QVariant type of the property, or QVariant.Invalid if the property has no PySide.QtCore.QVariant type.
