I got this and it seems to work fine (Qt 4.8), but it's not a model. I
remember a similar problem with the constructor but I think it was
because I was using Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(MyClass) instead of
Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(MyClass*).
------------------------------
MyClass.h
------------------------------
#ifndef MYCLASS_H
#define MYCLASS_H
#include <QObject>
#include <QVariant> // needed for Q_DECLARE_METATYPE
class MyClass : public QObject
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
explicit MyClass(QObject *parent = 0);
~MyClass();
signals:
public slots:
private:
};
Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(MyClass*)
#endif // MYCLASS_H
----------------------------------------
main.cpp
----------------------------------------
#include <QtDeclarative> // needed for qmlRegisterType
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);
qmlRegisterType<MyClass>("MyClass", 1, 0, "MyClass");
...
-----------------------------
QML
-----------------------------
import MyClass 1.0
...
MyClass {}
