Detailed Description

An object-oriented enumerator class.

This enum uses QStrings instead of compiler symbols, and provides bidirectional mapping between QStrings and int values. No compiler symbols are introduced.

Does not have the same limitation as QMetaEnum, which must be attached to a particular Q_OBJECT class.

This is an abstract class, and derived types can be used as custom QVariant property types provided they are declared and registered also.

bool Enum::fromString ( QString str ) [virtual]

Converts from a string to the internal enum value.

returns false if an invalid string is passed in.

Here is the call graph for this function:

NameMap & Enum::initMap	(	NameMap &	nameMap,
		QStringList	nameList,
		bool &	initialized,
		int	startIndex = `0`
	)		`[static, protected]`

Adds symbols to the map with enum values starting at 0.

Parameters:

nameMap	- the destination map to contain strings to numbers
nameList	- a string list of names to add to the map, with optional =value suffixes
initialized	- if true, do nothing (to avoid repeat-redundant calls if false, set to true after initializing.
