Description</h2> + + +The TQVariant class acts like a union for the most common TQt data types. +<p> + + +<p> Because C++ forbids unions from including types that have +non-default constructors or destructors, most interesting TQt +classes cannot be used in unions. Without TQVariant, this would be +a problem for <a href="ntqobject.html#property">TQObject::property</a>() and for database work, etc. +<p> A TQVariant object holds a single value of a single <a href="#type">type</a>() at a +time. (Some type()s are multi-valued, for example a string list.) +You can find out what type, T, the variant holds, convert it to a +different type using one of the asT() functions, e.g. <a href="#asSize">asSize</a>(), +get its value using one of the toT() functions, e.g. <a href="#toSize">toSize</a>(), and +check whether the type can be converted to a particular type using +<a href="#canCast">canCast</a>(). +<p> The methods named toT() (for any supported T, see the <a href="#Type-enum">Type</a> +documentation for a list) are const. If you ask for the stored +type, they return a copy of the stored object. If you ask for a +type that can be generated from the stored type, toT() copies and +converts and leaves the object itself unchanged. If you ask for a +type that cannot be generated from the stored type, the result +depends on the type (see the function documentation for details). +<p> Note that three data types supported by TQVariant are <a href="shclass.html#explicitly-shared">explicitly shared</a>, namely <a href="ntqimage.html">TQImage</a>, <a href="ntqpointarray.html">TQPointArray</a>, and <a href="ntqcstring.html">TQCString</a>, and in these +cases the toT() methods return a <a href="shclass.html#shallow-copy">shallow copy</a>. In almost all cases +you must make a <a href="shclass.html#deep-copy">deep copy</a> of the returned values before modifying +them. +<p> The asT() functions are not const. They do conversion like the +toT() methods, set the variant to hold the converted value, and +return a reference to the new contents of the variant. +<p> Here is some example code to demonstrate the use of TQVariant: +<p> <pre> + <a href="ntqdatastream.html">TQDataStream</a> out(...); + TQVariant v(123); // The variant now contains an int + int x = v.<a href="#toInt">toInt</a>(); // x = 123 + out << v; // Writes a type tag and an int to out + v = <a href="#TQVariant">TQVariant</a>("hello"); // The variant now contains a TQCString + v = <a href="#TQVariant">TQVariant</a>(tr("hello"));// The variant now contains a TQString + int y = v.<a href="#toInt">toInt</a>(); // y = 0 since v cannot be converted to an int + <a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a> s = v.<a href="#toString">toString</a>(); // s = tr("hello") (see TQObject::tr()) + out << v; // Writes a type tag and a TQString to out + ... + <a href="ntqdatastream.html">TQDataStream</a> in(...); // (opening the previously written stream) + in >> v; // Reads an Int variant + int z = v.<a href="#toInt">toInt</a>(); // z = 123 + <a href="ntqapplication.html#qDebug">qDebug</a>("Type is %s", // prints "Type is int" + v.<a href="#typeName">typeName</a>()); + v.<a href="#asInt">asInt</a>() += 100; // The variant now hold the value 223. + v = <a href="#TQVariant">TQVariant</a>( TQStringList() ); + v.<a href="#asStringList">asStringList</a>().append( "Hello" ); + </pre> + +<p> You can even store <a href="ntqvaluelist.html">TQValueList</a><TQVariant>s and +<a href="ntqmap.html">TQMap</a><TQString,TQVariant>s in a variant, so you can easily construct +arbitrarily complex data structures of arbitrary types. This is +very powerful and versatile, but may prove less memory and speed +efficient than storing specific types in standard data structures. +<p> TQVariant also supports the notion of NULL values, where you have a +defined type with no value set. +<pre> + TQVariant x, y( TQString() ), z( TQString("") ); + x.<a href="#asInt">asInt</a>(); + // x.<a href="#isNull">isNull</a>() == TRUE, y.isNull() == TRUE, z.isNull() == FALSE + </pre> + +<p> See the <a href="collection.html">Collection Classes</a>. +<p>See also <a href="misc.html">Miscellaneous Classes</a> and <a href="objectmodel.html">Object Model</a>. + +<hr><h2>Member Type Documentation</h2> +<h3 class=fn><a name="Type-enum"></a>TQVariant::Type</h3> + +<p> This enum type defines the types of variable that a TQVariant can +contain. +<ul> +<li><tt>TQVariant::Invalid</tt> - no type +<li><tt>TQVariant::BitArray</tt> - a <a href="ntqbitarray.html">TQBitArray</a> +<li><tt>TQVariant::ByteArray</tt> - a <a href="qbytearray.html">TQByteArray</a> +<li><tt>TQVariant::Bitmap</tt> - a <a href="ntqbitmap.html">TQBitmap</a> +<li><tt>TQVariant::Bool</tt> - a bool +<li><tt>TQVariant::Brush</tt> - a <a href="ntqbrush.html">TQBrush</a> +<li><tt>TQVariant::Color</tt> - a <a href="ntqcolor.html">TQColor</a> +<li><tt>TQVariant::ColorGroup</tt> - a <a href="qcolorgroup.html">TQColorGroup</a> +<li><tt>TQVariant::Cursor</tt> - a <a href="ntqcursor.html">TQCursor</a> +<li><tt>TQVariant::Date</tt> - a <a href="qdate.html">TQDate</a> +<li><tt>TQVariant::DateTime</tt> - a <a href="ntqdatetime.html">TQDateTime</a> +<li><tt>TQVariant::Double</tt> - a double +<li><tt>TQVariant::Font</tt> - a <a href="ntqfont.html">TQFont</a> +<li><tt>TQVariant::IconSet</tt> - a <a href="ntqiconset.html">TQIconSet</a> +<li><tt>TQVariant::Image</tt> - a <a href="ntqimage.html">TQImage</a> +<li><tt>TQVariant::Int</tt> - an int +<li><tt>TQVariant::KeySequence</tt> - a <a href="ntqkeysequence.html">TQKeySequence</a> +<li><tt>TQVariant::List</tt> - a <a href="ntqvaluelist.html">TQValueList</a><TQVariant> +<li><tt>TQVariant::LongLong</tt> - a long long +<li><tt>TQVariant::ULongLong</tt> - an unsigned long long +<li><tt>TQVariant::Map</tt> - a <a href="ntqmap.html">TQMap</a><TQString,TQVariant> +<li><tt>TQVariant::Palette</tt> - a <a href="ntqpalette.html">TQPalette</a> +<li><tt>TQVariant::Pen</tt> - a <a href="ntqpen.html">TQPen</a> +<li><tt>TQVariant::Pixmap</tt> - a <a href="ntqpixmap.html">TQPixmap</a> +<li><tt>TQVariant::Point</tt> - a <a href="ntqpoint.html">TQPoint</a> +<li><tt>TQVariant::PointArray</tt> - a <a href="ntqpointarray.html">TQPointArray</a> +<li><tt>TQVariant::Rect</tt> - a <a href="ntqrect.html">TQRect</a> +<li><tt>TQVariant::Region</tt> - a <a href="ntqregion.html">TQRegion</a> +<li><tt>TQVariant::Size</tt> - a <a href="ntqsize.html">TQSize</a> +<li><tt>TQVariant::SizePolicy</tt> - a <a href="ntqsizepolicy.html">TQSizePolicy</a> +<li><tt>TQVariant::String</tt> - a <a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a> +<li><tt>TQVariant::CString</tt> - a <a href="ntqcstring.html">TQCString</a> +<li><tt>TQVariant::StringList</tt> - a <a href="ntqstringlist.html">TQStringList</a> +<li><tt>TQVariant::Time</tt> - a <a href="qtime.html">TQTime</a> +<li><tt>TQVariant::UInt</tt> - an unsigned int +</ul><p> Note that TQt's definition of bool depends on the compiler. +<a href="qglobal-h.html">ntqglobal.h</a> has the system-dependent definition of bool. + +<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2> +<h3 class=fn><a name="TQVariant"></a>TQVariant::TQVariant () +</h3> +Constructs an invalid variant. + +<h3 class=fn><a name="TQVariant-10"></a>TQVariant::TQVariant ( bool val, int ) +</h3> +Constructs a new variant with a boolean value, <em>val</em>.
