Function Documentation

template <typename T> T *query(QObject *obj)

Performs a dynamic cast that is aware of a possible aggregate that obj might belong to. If obj itself is of the requested type, it is simply cast and returned. Otherwise, if obj belongs to an aggregate, all its components are checked. If it doesn't belong to an aggregate, null is returned.

See also Aggregate::component().

template <typename T> QList<T *> query_all(QObject *obj)

If obj belongs to an aggregate, all components that can be cast to the given type are returned. Otherwise, obj is returned if it is of the requested type.
