I have an QObject with properties accessible from QML. Something like:
Class C : public QObject {
Q_OBJECT
public:
explicit C(QObject * parent = nullptr);
Q_PROPERTY(QString ro_text READ ro_text WRITE setRo_text NOTIFY ro_textChanged)
};
Is it possible to make the setter(setRo_text) "private", so the property cannot by modified from QML, but can still be set from C++ code(inside the class)?
if you don't want it to be modified from QML then don't declare the WRITE, and create a method that every time the property changes it emits the signal, the setter method can be public or private but it can't be accessed in QML
class C: public QObject{
Q_OBJECT
Q_PROPERTY(QString ro_text READ ro_text NOTIFY ro_textChanged)
public:
C(QObject *parent=nullptr): QObject(parent){
}
QString ro_text() const {
return m_ro_text;
}
Q_SIGNALS:
void ro_textChanged();
private:
void setRo_text(const QString & text){
if(m_ro_text == text)
return;
m_ro_text = text;
Q_EMIT ro_textChanged();
}
QString m_ro_text;
};
