<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>


The QVariant class acts like a union for the most common Qt data types.
<p> 


<p> Because C++ forbids unions from including types that have
non-default constructors or destructors, most interesting Qt
classes cannot be used in unions. Without QVariant, this would be
a problem for <a href="qobject.html#property">QObject::property</a>() and for database work, etc.
<p> A QVariant object holds a single value of a single <a href="#type">type</a>() at a
time. (Some type()s are multi-valued, for example a string list.)
You can find out what type, T, the variant holds, convert it to a
different type using one of the asT() functions, e.g. <a href="#asSize">asSize</a>(),
get its value using one of the toT() functions, e.g. <a href="#toSize">toSize</a>(), and
check whether the type can be converted to a particular type using
<a href="#canCast">canCast</a>().
<p> The methods named toT() (for any supported T, see the <a href="#Type-enum">Type</a>
documentation for a list) are const. If you ask for the stored
type, they return a copy of the stored object. If you ask for a
type that can be generated from the stored type, toT() copies and
converts and leaves the object itself unchanged. If you ask for a
type that cannot be generated from the stored type, the result
depends on the type (see the function documentation for details).
<p> Note that three data types supported by QVariant are <a href="shclass.html#explicitly-shared">explicitly shared</a>, namely <a href="qimage.html">QImage</a>, <a href="qpointarray.html">QPointArray</a>, and <a href="qcstring.html">QCString</a>, and in these
cases the toT() methods return a <a href="shclass.html#shallow-copy">shallow copy</a>. In almost all cases
you must make a <a href="shclass.html#deep-copy">deep copy</a> of the returned values before modifying
them.
<p> The asT() functions are not const. They do conversion like the
toT() methods, set the variant to hold the converted value, and
return a reference to the new contents of the variant.
<p> Here is some example code to demonstrate the use of QVariant:
<p> <pre>
    <a href="qdatastream.html">QDataStream</a> out(...);
    QVariant v(123);          // The variant now contains an int
    int x = v.<a href="#toInt">toInt</a>();        // x = 123
    out &lt;&lt; v;                 // Writes a type tag and an int to out
    v = <a href="#QVariant">QVariant</a>("hello");    // The variant now contains a QCString
    v = <a href="#QVariant">QVariant</a>(tr("hello"));// The variant now contains a QString
    int y = v.<a href="#toInt">toInt</a>();        // y = 0 since v cannot be converted to an int
    <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> s = v.<a href="#toString">toString</a>(); // s = tr("hello")  (see QObject::tr())
    out &lt;&lt; v;                 // Writes a type tag and a QString to out
    ...
    <a href="qdatastream.html">QDataStream</a> in(...);      // (opening the previously written stream)
    in &gt;&gt; v;                  // Reads an Int variant
    int z = v.<a href="#toInt">toInt</a>();        // z = 123
    <a href="qapplication.html#qDebug">qDebug</a>("Type is %s",      // prints "Type is int"
            v.<a href="#typeName">typeName</a>());
    v.<a href="#asInt">asInt</a>() += 100;         // The variant now hold the value 223.
    v = <a href="#QVariant">QVariant</a>( QStringList() );
    v.<a href="#asStringList">asStringList</a>().append( "Hello" );
    </pre>
 
<p> You can even store <a href="qvaluelist.html">QValueList</a><QVariant>s and
<a href="qmap.html">QMap</a><QString,QVariant>s in a variant, so you can easily construct
arbitrarily complex data structures of arbitrary types. This is
very powerful and versatile, but may prove less memory and speed
efficient than storing specific types in standard data structures.
<p> QVariant also supports the notion of NULL values, where you have a
defined type with no value set.
<pre>
    QVariant x, y( QString() ), z( QString("") );
    x.<a href="#asInt">asInt</a>();
    // x.<a href="#isNull">isNull</a>() == TRUE, y.isNull() == TRUE, z.isNull() == FALSE
    </pre>

<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2>
<h3 class=fn><a name="QVariant"></a>QVariant::QVariant ()
</h3>
Constructs an invalid variant.

<h3 class=fn><a name="QVariant-10"></a>QVariant::QVariant ( bool&nbsp;val, int )
</h3>
Constructs a new variant with a boolean value, <em>val</em>. The integer
argument is a dummy, necessary for compatibility with some
compilers.

<h3 class=fn><a name="QVariant-11"></a>QVariant::QVariant ( double&nbsp;val )
</h3>
Constructs a new variant with a floating point value, <em>val</em>.

<h3 class=fn><a name="QVariant-12"></a>QVariant::QVariant ( <a href="qsizepolicy.html">QSizePolicy</a>&nbsp;val )
</h3>
Constructs a new variant with a size policy value, <em>val</em>.

<h3 class=fn><a name="QVariant-2"></a>QVariant::QVariant ( const&nbsp;<a href="qvariant.html">QVariant</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;p )
</h3>
Constructs a copy of the variant, <em>p</em>, passed as the argument to
this constructor. Usually this is a <a href="shclass.html#deep-copy">deep copy</a>, but a <a href="shclass.html#shallow-copy">shallow copy</a>
is made if the stored data type is <a href="shclass.html#explicitly-shared">explicitly shared</a>, as e.g.
<a href="qimage.html">QImage</a> is.

<h3 class=fn><a name="QVariant-3"></a>QVariant::QVariant ( <a href="qdatastream.html">QDataStream</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;s )
</h3>
Reads the variant from the data stream, <em>s</em>.

<h3 class=fn><a name="QVariant-4"></a>QVariant::QVariant ( const&nbsp;<a href="qstring.html">QString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;val )
</h3>
Constructs a new variant with a string value, <em>val</em>.

<h3 class=fn><a name="QVariant-5"></a>QVariant::QVariant ( const&nbsp;<a href="qcstring.html">QCString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;val )
</h3>
Constructs a new variant with a C-string value, <em>val</em>.
<p> If you want to modify the <a href="qcstring.html">QCString</a> after you've passed it to this
constructor, we recommend passing a <a href="shclass.html#deep-copy">deep copy</a> (see
<a href="qcstring.html#copy">QCString::copy</a>()).

<h3 class=fn><a name="QVariant-6"></a>QVariant::QVariant ( const&nbsp;char&nbsp;*&nbsp;val )
</h3>
Constructs a new variant with a C-string value of <em>val</em> if <em>val</em>
is non-null. The variant creates a <a href="shclass.html#deep-copy">deep copy</a> of <em>val</em>.
<p> If <em>val</em> is null, the resulting variant has type Invalid.

<h3 class=fn><a name="QVariant-7"></a>QVariant::QVariant ( const&nbsp;<a href="qstringlist.html">QStringList</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;val )
</h3>
Constructs a new variant with a string list value, <em>val</em>.

<h3 class=fn><a name="QVariant-8"></a>QVariant::QVariant ( const&nbsp;<a href="qfont.html">QFont</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;val )
</h3>
Constructs a new variant with a font value, <em>val</em>.

<h3 class=fn><a name="QVariant-9"></a>QVariant::QVariant ( const&nbsp;<a href="qpixmap.html">QPixmap</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;val )
</h3>
Constructs a new variant with a pixmap value, <em>val</em>.

<h3 class=fn><a name="QVariant-a"></a>QVariant::QVariant ( const&nbsp;<a href="qimage.html">QImage</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;val )
</h3>
Constructs a new variant with an image value, <em>val</em>.
<p> Because <a href="qimage.html">QImage</a> is <a href="shclass.html#explicitly-shared">explicitly shared</a>, you may need to pass a <a href="shclass.html#deep-copy">deep copy</a> to the variant using <a href="qimage.html#copy">QImage::copy</a>(), e.g. if you intend
changing the image you've passed later on.

<h3 class=fn><a name="QVariant-b"></a>QVariant::QVariant ( const&nbsp;<a href="qbrush.html">QBrush</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;val )
</h3>
Constructs a new variant with a brush value, <em>val</em>.

<h3 class=fn><a name="QVariant-c"></a>QVariant::QVariant ( const&nbsp;<a href="qpoint.html">QPoint</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;val )
</h3>
Constructs a new variant with a point value, <em>val</em>.

<h3 class=fn><a name="QVariant-d"></a>QVariant::QVariant ( const&nbsp;<a href="qrect.html">QRect</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;val )
