QML Basic Type: enumeration
The enumeration type refers to a named enumeration value.
Each named value can be referred to as <Type>.<value>. For example, the Text type has an AlignRight enumeration value:
Text { horizontalAlignment: Text.AlignRight }
(For backwards compatibility, the enumeration value may also be specified as a string, e.g. "AlignRight". This form is not recommended for new code.)
When integrating with C++, note that any enum value passed into QML from C++ is automatically converted into an enumeration value, and vice-versa.
This basic type is provided by the QML language. Some enumeration values are provided by the QtQuick import.
Using the enumeration type in QML
The enumeration type is a representation of a C++ enum type. It is not possible to refer to the enumeration type in QML itself; instead, the int or var types can be used when referring to enumeration values from QML code.
For example:
import QtQuick 2.0 Item { // refer to Text.AlignRight using an int type property int enumValue: textItem.horizontalAlignment signal valueEmitted(int someValue) Text { id: textItem horizontalAlignment: Text.AlignRight } // emit valueEmitted() signal, which expects an int, with Text.AlignRight Component.onCompleted: valueEmitted(Text.AlignRight) }
