Detailed Description

\inmodule QtCore

The QMetaObject class contains meta-information about Qt objects.

The Qt \l{Meta-Object System} in Qt is responsible for the signals and slots inter-object communication mechanism, runtime type information, and the Qt property system. A single QMetaObject instance is created for each QObject subclass that is used in an application, and this instance stores all the meta-information for the QObject subclass. This object is available as QObject::metaObject().

This class is not normally required for application programming, but it is useful if you write meta-applications, such as scripting engines or GUI builders.

The functions you are most likely to find useful are these: \list

• className() returns the name of a class.
• superClass() returns the superclass's meta-object.
• method() and methodCount() provide information about a class's meta-methods (signals, slots and other \l{Q_INVOKABLE}{invokable} member functions).
• enumerator() and enumeratorCount() and provide information about a class's enumerators.
• propertyCount() and property() provide information about a class's properties.
• constructor() and constructorCount() provide information about a class's meta-constructors. \endlist

The index functions indexOfConstructor(), indexOfMethod(), indexOfEnumerator(), and indexOfProperty() map names of constructors, member functions, enumerators, or properties to indexes in the meta-object. For example, Qt uses indexOfMethod() internally when you connect a signal to a slot.

Classes can also have a list of {name}–{value} pairs of additional class information, stored in QMetaClassInfo objects. The number of pairs is returned by classInfoCount(), single pairs are returned by classInfo(), and you can search for pairs with indexOfClassInfo().

Note

Operations that use the meta object system are generally thread- safe, as QMetaObjects are typically static read-only instances generated at compile time. However, if meta objects are dynamically modified by the application (for instance, when using QQmlPropertyMap), then the application has to explicitly synchronize access to the respective meta object.

Since

6.5 \threadsafe

Invokes the member (a signal or a slot name) on the object obj. Returns true if the member could be invoked. Returns false if there is no such member or the parameters did not match.

For the overloads with a QTemplatedMetaMethodReturnArgument parameter, the return value of the member function call is placed in ret. For the overloads without such a member, the return value of the called function (if any) will be discarded. QTemplatedMetaMethodReturnArgument is an internal type you should not use directly. Instead, use the qReturnArg() function.

The overloads with a Qt::ConnectionType type parameter allow explicitly selecting whether the invocation will be synchronous or not:

\list

• If type is Qt::DirectConnection, the member will be invoked immediately in the current thread.

• If type is Qt::QueuedConnection, a QEvent will be sent and the member is invoked as soon as the application enters the event loop in the thread that the obj was created in or was moved to.

• If type is Qt::BlockingQueuedConnection, the method will be invoked in the same way as for Qt::QueuedConnection, except that the current thread will block until the event is delivered. Using this connection type to communicate between objects in the same thread will lead to deadlocks.

• If type is Qt::AutoConnection, the member is invoked synchronously if obj lives in the same thread as the caller; otherwise it will invoke the member asynchronously. This is the behavior of the overloads that do not have the type parameter. \endlist

You only need to pass the name of the signal or slot to this function, not the entire signature. For example, to asynchronously invoke the \l{QThread::quit()}{quit()} slot on a QThread, use the following code:

QMetaObject::invokeMethod(thread, "quit",
                          Qt::QueuedConnection);

With asynchronous method invocations, the parameters must be copyable types, because Qt needs to copy the arguments to store them in an event behind the scenes. Since Qt 6.5, this function automatically registers the types being used; however, as a side-effect, it is not possible to make calls using types that are only forward-declared. Additionally, it is not possible to make asynchronous calls that use references to non-const-qualified types as parameters either.

To synchronously invoke the compute(QString, int, double) slot on some arbitrary object obj retrieve its return value:

QString retVal;
QMetaObject::invokeMethod(obj, "compute", Qt::DirectConnection,
                         qReturnArg(retVal),
                         QString("sqrt"), 42, 9.7);

If the "compute" slot does not take exactly one \l QString, one int, and one double in the specified order, the call will fail. Note how it was necessary to be explicit about the type of the QString, as the character literal is not exactly the right type to match. If the method instead took a \l QStringView, a \l qsizetype, and a float, the call would need to be written as:

QString retVal;
QMetaObject::invokeMethod(obj, "compute", Qt::DirectConnection,
                         qReturnArg(retVal),
                         QStringView("sqrt"), qsizetype(42), 9.7f);

The same call can be executed using the Q_ARG() and Q_RETURN_ARG() macros, as in:

QString retVal;
QMetaObject::invokeMethod(obj, "compute", Qt::DirectConnection,
                          Q_RETURN_ARG(QString, retVal),
                          Q_ARG(QString, "sqrt"),
                          Q_ARG(int, 42),
                          Q_ARG(double, 9.7));

The macros are kept for compatibility with Qt 6.4 and earlier versions, and can be freely mixed with parameters that do not use the macro. They may be necessary in rare situations when calling a method that used a typedef to forward-declared type as a parameter or the return type.

\threadsafe This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts. \obsolete [6.5] Please use the variadic overload of this function

Invokes the member (a signal or a slot name) on the object obj. Returns true if the member could be invoked. Returns false if there is no such member or the parameters did not match.

See the variadic invokeMethod() function for more information. This function should behave the same way as that one, with the following limitations:

\list

• The number of parameters is limited to 10.
• Parameter names may need to be an exact string match.
• Meta types are not automatically registered. \endlist

With asynchronous method invocations, the parameters must be of types that are already known to Qt's meta-object system, because Qt needs to copy the arguments to store them in an event behind the scenes. If you try to use a queued connection and get the error message

call qRegisterMetaType() to register the data type before you call invokeMethod().

The offset is the sum of all the properties in the class's superclasses (which is always positive since QObject has the name() property).
