[Interest] Q_GADGET vs Q_OBJECT

[Russell, Matthew]

Why can my Q_GADGET be read perfectly in QML (JS) but not my Q_OBJECT?

I created a class, registered it (Q_DECLARE_METATYPE), and then push instances of it into a QVariantMap.  If the object is a Q_GADGET my JS can read it perfectly, but when I switch it to a Q_OBJECT, the objects are blank.

I placed some code examples on SO here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/43398740/qml-can-see-my-q-gadget-but-not-q-object

Basically I've narrowed it down to Q_GADGET vs Q_OBJECT, nothing else seems to make any difference.  I'd prefer to use Q_OBJECT so that I can use signals and other objects in the QML/JS can bind to them.

Thanks.
