I have the following struct:
struct FileInfo {
QString fileName;
QString fileSize;
QString md5Sum;
};
is it possible to put approximately 30 such objects into a QVariant and then be able to iterate through the QVariant to retrieve one of the structs based on index and then cast the object back into a struct and query the struct for say fileSize of a specific file? Is there a better approach to my issue?
You can consider QVariantList to store object as QVariant. Of course, you can convert back into your custom struct.
Example.
struct FileInfo {
QString fileName;
QString fileSize;
QString md5sum;
};
int main()
{
QVariantList variantList;
for(int i = 0; i < 30; i++) {
FileInfo info{QString("File %1").arg(i), QString("size %1").arg(i), QString("md5sum %1").arg(i)};
QVariant var;
var.setValue(info);
variantList.append(var);
}
for (auto v: variantList) {
FileInfo f = v.value<FileInfo>();
qDebug() << "File name: " << f.fileName << "\tfile size: " << f.fileSize;
}
return 0;
}
