47 \class QDeclarativeParserStatus
49 \brief The QDeclarativeParserStatus class provides updates on the QML parser state.
51 QDeclarativeParserStatus provides a mechanism for classes instantiated by
52 a QDeclarativeEngine to receive notification at key points in their creation.
54 This class is often used for optimization purposes, as it allows you to defer an
55 expensive operation until after all the properties have been set on an
56 object. For example, QML's \l {Text} element uses the parser status
57 to defer text layout until all of its properties have been set (we
58 don't want to layout when the \c text is assigned, and then relayout
59 when the \c font is assigned, and relayout again when the \c width is assigned,
62 To use QDeclarativeParserStatus, you must inherit both a QObject-derived class
63 and QDeclarativeParserStatus, and use the Q_INTERFACES() macro.
66 class MyObject : public QObject, public QDeclarativeParserStatus
69 Q_INTERFACES(QDeclarativeParserStatus)
72 MyObject(QObject *parent = 0);
75 void componentComplete();
81 QDeclarativeParserStatus::QDeclarativeParserStatus()
87 QDeclarativeParserStatus::~QDeclarativeParserStatus()
94 \fn void QDeclarativeParserStatus::classBegin()
96 Invoked after class creation, but before any properties have been set.
100 \fn void QDeclarativeParserStatus::componentComplete()
102 Invoked after the root component that caused this instantiation has
103 completed construction. At this point all static values and binding values
104 have been assigned to the class.
