[Interest] using a custom class as parameter of signal/slot, used in QML

[ekke]

I find it easier the other way ;-)

whereever it is possible, I'm using QObject* for my data
there's a special C++ DataManager class with Q_INVOKABLE methods to
create / delete / .... and this class always is the parent of my QObject*

it's cool - there's no by-value copying between C++ and QML and I'm
getting code-completion in QML on all the Q_PROPERTY and I'm always
using the same objects,
so it's easy to call a C++ utility using the QObject* or exposing the
QObject* to QML

the nice thing: my datamodel is defined using a custom DSL based on
(Eclipse) XText and XTend and all the C++ code for my Entities and the
DataManager is generated from this model.
hopefully some day I'll find the time to publish this generator as
OpenSource
