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="qobject.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="qimage.html">TQImage</a>, <a href="qpointarray.html">TQPointArray</a>, and <a href="qcstring.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="qdatastream.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="qstring.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="qdatastream.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="qapplication.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="qvaluelist.html">TQValueList</a><TQVariant>s and -<a href="qmap.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="qbitarray.html">TQBitArray</a> -<li><tt>TQVariant::ByteArray</tt> - a <a href="qbytearray.html">TQByteArray</a> -<li><tt>TQVariant::Bitmap</tt> - a <a href="qbitmap.html">TQBitmap</a> -<li><tt>TQVariant::Bool</tt> - a bool -<li><tt>TQVariant::Brush</tt> - a <a href="qbrush.html">TQBrush</a> -<li><tt>TQVariant::Color</tt> - a <a href="qcolor.html">TQColor</a> -<li><tt>TQVariant::ColorGroup</tt> - a <a href="qcolorgroup.html">TQColorGroup</a> -<li><tt>TQVariant::Cursor</tt> - a <a href="qcursor.html">TQCursor</a> -<li><tt>TQVariant::Date</tt> - a <a href="qdate.html">TQDate</a> -<li><tt>TQVariant::DateTime</tt> - a <a href="qdatetime.html">TQDateTime</a> -<li><tt>TQVariant::Double</tt> - a double -<li><tt>TQVariant::Font</tt> - a <a href="qfont.html">TQFont</a> -<li><tt>TQVariant::IconSet</tt> - a <a href="qiconset.html">TQIconSet</a> -<li><tt>TQVariant::Image</tt> - a <a href="qimage.html">TQImage</a> -<li><tt>TQVariant::Int</tt> - an int -<li><tt>TQVariant::KeySequence</tt> - a <a href="qkeysequence.html">TQKeySequence</a> -<li><tt>TQVariant::List</tt> - a <a href="qvaluelist.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="qmap.html">TQMap</a><TQString,TQVariant> -<li><tt>TQVariant::Palette</tt> - a <a href="qpalette.html">TQPalette</a> -<li><tt>TQVariant::Pen</tt> - a <a href="qpen.html">TQPen</a> -<li><tt>TQVariant::Pixmap</tt> - a <a href="qpixmap.html">TQPixmap</a> -<li><tt>TQVariant::Point</tt> - a <a href="qpoint.html">TQPoint</a> -<li><tt>TQVariant::PointArray</tt> - a <a href="qpointarray.html">TQPointArray</a> -<li><tt>TQVariant::Rect</tt> - a <a href="qrect.html">TQRect</a> -<li><tt>TQVariant::Region</tt> - a <a href="qregion.html">TQRegion</a> -<li><tt>TQVariant::Size</tt> - a <a href="qsize.html">TQSize</a> -<li><tt>TQVariant::SizePolicy</tt> - a <a href="qsizepolicy.html">TQSizePolicy</a> -<li><tt>TQVariant::String</tt> - a <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a> -<li><tt>TQVariant::CString</tt> - a <a href="qcstring.html">TQCString</a> -<li><tt>TQVariant::StringList</tt> - a <a href="qstringlist.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">qglobal.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>.
