[Qt-qml] Best way to update QML display based on external input via TCP socket?

[John Vilburn]

My mistake. NOTIFY is listed in the Q_PROPERTY documentation in 4.6, but not consistently.

In the QObject Class Reference, Q_PROPERTY is listed like this:

Q_PROPERTY(type name
            READ getFunction
            [WRITE setFunction]
            [RESET resetFunction]
            [DESIGNABLE bool]
            [SCRIPTABLE bool]
            [STORED bool]
            [USER bool])
But on the Qt's Property System page it is listed like this:

Q_PROPERTY(type name
            READ getFunction
            [WRITE setFunction]
            [RESET resetFunction]
            [NOTIFY notifySignal]
            [DESIGNABLE bool]
            [SCRIPTABLE bool]
            [STORED bool]
            [USER bool]
            [CONSTANT]
            [FINAL])
Is this just a case of the QObject Class Reference being out of date, or is there another reason for the discrepancy?

Thank you,
John
