You can assign a value to it and you can read it via the value() function or the T conversion operator. You can also tie the property to an expression that computes the value dynamically, the binding expression. It is represented as a C++ lambda and can be used to express relationships between different properties in your application. The binding expression computes the value by reading other QProperty values. Behind the scenes this dependency is tracked. Whenever a change in any property's dependency is detected, the binding expression is re-evaluated and the new result is applied to the property. This happens lazily, by marking the binding as dirty and evaluating it only when the property's value is requested. For example: \code QProperty firstname("John"); QProperty lastname("Smith"); QProperty age(41); QProperty fullname; fullname.setBinding([&]() { return firstname.value() + " " + lastname.value() + " age:" + QString::number(age.value()); }); qDebug() << fullname.value(); // Prints "John Smith age: 41" firstname = "Emma"; // Marks binding expression as dirty qDebug() << fullname.value(); // Re-evaluates the binding expression and prints "Emma Smith age: 41" // Birthday is coming up age.setValue(age.value() + 1); qDebug() << fullname.value(); // Re-evaluates the binding expression and prints "Emma Smith age: 42" \endcode When a new value is assigned to the \c firstname property, the binding expression for \c fullname is marked as dirty. So when the last \c qDebug() statement tries to read the name value of the \c fullname property, the expression is evaluated again, \c firstname() will be called again and return the new value. Since bindings are C++ lambda expressions, they may do anything that's possible in C++. This includes calling other functions. If those functions access values held by QProperty, they automatically become dependencies to the binding. Binding expressions may use properties of any type, so in the above example the age is an integer and folded into the string value using conversion to integer, but the dependency is fully tracked. \section1 Tracking properties Sometimes the relationships between properties cannot be expressed using bindings. Instead you may need to run custom code whenever the value of a property changes and instead of assigning the value to another property, pass it to other parts of your application. For example writing data into a network socket or printing debug output. QProperty provides two mechanisms for tracking. You can register for a callback function to be called whenever the value of a property changes, by using onValueChanged(). If you want the callback to also be called for the current value of the property, register your callback using subscribe() instead. */ /*! \fn template QProperty::QProperty() Constructs a property with a default constructed instance of T. */ /*! \fn template explicit QProperty::QProperty(const T &initialValue) Constructs a property with the provided \a initialValue. */ /*! \fn template explicit QProperty::QProperty(T &&initialValue) Move-Constructs a property with the provided \a initialValue. */ /*! \fn template QProperty::QProperty(QProperty &&other) Move-constructs a QProperty instance, making it point at the same object that \a other was pointing to. */ /*! \fn template QProperty &QProperty::operator=(QProperty &&other) Move-assigns \a other to this QProperty instance. */ /*! \fn template QProperty::QProperty(const QPropertyBinding &binding) Constructs a property that is tied to the provided \a binding expression.

The callback \a f is expected to be a type that has a plain call operator () without any parameters. This means that you can provide a C++ lambda expression, an std::function or even a custom struct with a call operator. The returned property change handler object keeps track of the subscription.
