[Qt-interest] Q_PROPERTY confusion

[Colin Kern]

Hello,

I'm confused about using the Q_PROPERTY macro.  I've read the page in
the documentation, and it gives this example:

class MyClass : public QObject
 {
     Q_OBJECT
     Q_PROPERTY(Priority priority READ priority WRITE setPriority)
     Q_ENUMS(Priority)

 public:
     MyClass(QObject *parent = 0);
     ~MyClass();

     enum Priority { High, Low, VeryHigh, VeryLow };

     void setPriority(Priority priority);
     Priority priority() const;
 };

One thing I notice is that both the member variable and the getter are
called "priority".  Normally in C++, you get a naming collision if you
try to make a member variable and member function the same name.  I
notice, however, that the member variable isn't declared here.  The
implementation of the getter and setter functions isn't given for this
example, and I'm confused about how to write them.  If I try to do
something like "this->priority = priority;" for the setter, or "return
priority;" for the getter, I get errors indicating that the compiler
thinks I am referring to the member function not the variable.  If I
try to declare the Priority priority in the header file, I get errors
about naming conflict as expected.  What is the proper way to do this?

Thanks,
Colin Kern
