[Interest] Qt::Alignment and MetaObject System

[Martin Koller]

Hi,

I'd like to programmatically get the enum values for Qt::Alignment (Qt::AlignmentFlag) as strings.

I do this in my code already for e.g. SizePolicy like that:

    int idx = QSizePolicy::staticMetaObject.indexOfEnumerator("Policy");
    QMetaEnum metaEnum = QSizePolicy::staticMetaObject.enumerator(idx);

    for (int i = 0; i < metaEnum.keyCount(); i++)
    {
      hor->appendId(metaEnum.value(i), metaEnum.key(i));
      ver->appendId(metaEnum.value(i), metaEnum.key(i));
    }
 

However how can I do the same with this Qt::AlignmentFlag enum which is not defined inside a QObject ?

I even could not get it to work when I have an own QObject derived class, like:

#include <QObject>
#include <QMetaEnum>
#include <iostream>

class Object : public QObject
{
  Q_OBJECT

  Q_PROPERTY(Qt::Alignment alignment READ getAlignment)

  public:
    Qt::Alignment getAlignment() const { return Qt::AlignCenter; }

    void printEnums()
    {
      for (int i = 0; i < QObject::staticMetaObject.enumeratorCount(); i++)
        std::cerr << QObject::staticMetaObject.enumerator(i).name()
                  << " scope:" << QObject::staticMetaObject.enumerator(i).scope() << std::endl;

      for (int i = 0; i < metaObject()->enumeratorCount(); i++)
        std::cerr << metaObject()->enumerator(i).name()
                  << " scope:" << metaObject()->enumerator(i).scope() << std::endl;
    }
};
