Detailed Description

\inmodule QtCore

The QMetaEnum class provides meta-data about an enumerator.

Use name() for the enumerator's name. The enumerator's keys (names of each enumerated item) are returned by key(); use keyCount() to find the number of keys. isFlag() returns whether the enumerator is meant to be used as a flag, meaning that its values can be combined using the OR operator.

The conversion functions keyToValue(), valueToKey(), keysToValue(), and valueToKeys() allow conversion between the integer representation of an enumeration or set value and its literal representation. The scope() function returns the class scope this enumerator was declared in.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ enumName()

const char * QMetaEnum::enumName ( ) const

Returns the enum name of the flag (without the scope).

For example, the Qt::AlignmentFlag flag has AlignmentFlag as the enum name, but Alignment as the type name. Non flag enums has the same type and enum names.

Enum names have the same scope as the type name.

◆ isFlag()

bool QMetaEnum::isFlag ( ) const

Returns true if this enumerator is used as a flag; otherwise returns false.

When used as flags, enumerators can be combined using the OR operator.

Note that the strings in keys must be '|'-separated.

If keys is not defined, *{ok} is set to false; otherwise {ok} is set to true.

◆ metaType()

QMetaType QMetaEnum::metaType ( ) const

Returns the meta type of the enum.

If the QMetaObject that this enum is part of was generated with Qt 6.5 or earlier, this will be an invalid meta type.

Note: This is the meta type of the enum itself, not of its underlying integral type. You can retrieve the meta type of the underlying type of the enum using \l{QMetaType::underlyingType()}.
