[Interest] QML and C++ types mapping

[STEFANI Mathieu]

Investigating with the QMetaObject and QMetaMethod, I figured out that the correct
corresponding signal was clicked(QDateTime) and not clicked(QDate).

By using QDateTime instead of QDate, it just works as expected.

Hi,

These last days, I'm playing with QML, by making a Calendar application (or at least
trying to).

However, I'm facing an issue : I want to emit a clicked(date d) from my QML
file and connect it to a private slot in my C++ view (a subclass of QDeclarativeView).

But QObject tells me that such a signal does not exist. I made a simple test-case
and indeed, I can't connect my signal. Here is the code :

#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include <QDeclarativeView>
#include <QGraphicsObject>
#include <QDate>
#include <QDebug>
class MyView : public QDeclarativeView
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    MyView(QWidget *parent = 0) : QDeclarativeView(parent) {
        setSource(QUrl::fromLocalFile("main.qml"));
        QObject *root = rootObject();
        connect(root, SIGNAL(clicked(QDate)), this, SLOT(onClicked(QDate)));
    }
private slots:
    void onClicked(const QDate &d) {
        qDebug() << Q_FUNC_INFO << d;
    }
};
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    MyView v;
    v.show();

    return a.exec();
}
#include "main.moc"

And the corresponding QML file :

import QtQuick 1.1
Item {
    id: root
    width: 500
    height: 500
    signal clicked(date d)
    Rectangle {
        id: innerRect
        color: "lightblue"
        width: 100
        height: 30
        anchors { verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter; horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter }
        Text {
            text: "Click me!"
            anchors { verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter; horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter }
        }
        MouseArea {
            anchors.fill: parent
            onClicked: {
                root.clicked(new Date())
            }
        }
    }
}

If I change from date to string in QML and from QDate to QString in C++,  it
just perfectly works.
Since I'm pretty new to QML, I don't know if it's a bug or not.

Thanks.
