Hi,
I am planning to migrate Qt Widget Designer towards using fully
qualified enumerations when writing .ui files in 6.7. That is, instead of
<property name="frameShape"><enum>QFrame::Box</enum></property>
it will then generate:
<property name="frameShape"><enum>QFrame::Shape::Box</enum></property>
The motivation behind this is that it should support scoped enumerations
and this will be required at some point by Qt for Python.
For properties, uic just generates these values into C++; so it should
mostly work transparently. There are some corner cases though where some
checking code in uic/QtUiLoader/Designer needs to changed from
if (v == "Qt::Horizontal") to something like if
(v.endsWith("::Horizontal"))..
These modifications are planned to trickle through to 6.5 so that tools
embedding older versions of Qt Designer can handle it.
The question is; do you see any problems with this? Is there tooling out
there that would trip over this? Would it be worth to make it optional?
Thanks,
Regards Friedemann
