Aggregation Namespace
The Aggregation namespace contains support for bundling related components, so that each component exposes the properties and behavior of the other components to the outside. More...

Function Documentation
void Aggregation::aggregate(const QObjectList &components)
This is a convenience function that creates a new Aggregate and adds all components to it. If any components already belong to an Aggregate, the remaining components are added to that instead. The components may not belong to different Aggregates to begin with.
See also Aggregate.
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.
See also Aggregate::components().
