For each widget type rules are defined telling which attributes should be streamed. If you need to stream other attributes or to avoid streaming certain attributes, then this may be obtained by editing the property map, which is obtained by calling @ref propertyMap. For further control inherit from this class and override @ref toStream and @ref fromStream. The following example shows how you can avoid streaming numDigits for a QLCDNumber. The same approach applies if you want to add extra properties to be streamed.

   KWidgetStreamer::PropertyMap& map = streamer.propertyMap();
   KWidgetStreamer::PropertyList& list = *map.find("QLCDNumber");
   list.remove("numDigits");
