+ \title Qt Declarative Module
+ \ingroup modules
+
+ \brief The Qt Declarative module provides a declarative framework
+ for building highly dynamic, custom user interfaces.
+
+ To include the definitions of the module's classes, use the
+ following directive:
+
+ \code
+ #include <QtDeclarative>
+ \endcode
+
+ To link against the module, add this line to your \l qmake \c
+ .pro file:
+
+ \code
+ QT += declarative
+ \endcode
+
+ For more information on the Qt Declarative module, see the
+ \l{Qt Quick} documentation.

+ \macro QML_DECLARE_TYPE()
+ \relates QDeclarativeEngine
+
+ Equivalent to \c Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(TYPE *) and \c Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(QDeclarativeListProperty<TYPE>)
+
+ #include <QtDeclarative> to use this macro.
+*/
+
+/*!
+ \macro QML_DECLARE_TYPEINFO(Type,Flags)
+ \relates QDeclarativeEngine
+
+ Declares additional properties of the given \a Type as described by the
+ specified \a Flags.
+
+ Current the only supported type info is \c QML_HAS_ATTACHED_PROPERTIES which
+ declares that the \a Type supports \l {Attached Properties}.
+
+ #include <QtDeclarative> to use this macro.

+/*!
+ \fn int qmlRegisterType(const char *uri, int versionMajor, int versionMinor, const char *qmlName)
+ \relates QDeclarativeEngine
+
+ This template function registers the C++ type in the QML system with
+ the name \a qmlName, in the library imported from \a uri having the
+ version number composed from \a versionMajor and \a versionMinor.
+
+ Returns the QML type id.
+
+ There are two forms of this template function:
+
+ \code
+ template<typename T>
+ int qmlRegisterType(const char *uri, int versionMajor, int versionMinor, const char *qmlName);
+
+ template<typename T, int metaObjectRevision>
+ int qmlRegisterType(const char *uri, int versionMajor, int versionMinor, const char *qmlName);
+ \endcode
+
+ The former is the standard form which registers the type \e T as a new type.
+ The latter allows a particular revision of a class to be registered in
+ a specified version (see \l {QML Type Versioning}).
+
+
+ For example, this registers a C++ class \c MySliderItem as a QML type
+ named \c Slider for version 1.0 of a \l{QML Modules}{module} called
+ "com.mycompany.qmlcomponents":
+
+ \code
+ #include <QtDeclarative>
+
+ ...
+
+ qmlRegisterType<MySliderItem>("com.mycompany.qmlcomponents", 1, 0, "Slider");
+ \endcode
+
+ Once this is registered, the type can be used in QML by importing the
+ specified module name and version number:
+
+ \qml
+ import com.mycompany.qmlcomponents 1.0
+
+ Slider {
+ // ...
+ }
+ \endqml
+
+ Note that it's perfectly reasonable for a library to register types to older versions
+ than the actual version of the library. Indeed, it is normal for the new library to allow
+ QML written to previous versions to continue to work, even if more advanced versions of
+ some of its types are available.

+ \fn int qmlRegisterUncreatableType(const char *uri, int versionMajor, int versionMinor, const char *qmlName, const QString& message)
+ \relates QDeclarativeEngine
+
+ This template function registers the C++ type in the QML system with
+ the name \a qmlName, in the library imported from \a uri having the
+ version number composed from \a versionMajor and \a versionMinor.
+
+ While the type has a name and a type, it cannot be created, and the
+ given error \a message will result if creation is attempted.
+
+ This is useful where the type is only intended for providing attached properties or enum values.
+
+ Returns the QML type id.
+
+ #include <QtDeclarative> to use this function.

+ \sa qmlRegisterTypeNotAvailable()

+
+/*!
+ \fn int qmlRegisterTypeNotAvailable(const char *uri, int versionMajor, int versionMinor, const char *qmlName, const QString& message)
+ \relates QDeclarativeEngine
+
+ This function registers a type in the QML system with the name \a qmlName, in the library imported from \a uri having the
+ version number composed from \a versionMajor and \a versionMinor, but any attempt to instantiate the type
+ will produce the given error \a message.
+
+ Normally, the types exported by a module should be fixed. However, if a C++ type is not available, you should
+ at least "reserve" the QML type name, and give the user of your module a meaningful error message.
+
+ Returns the QML type id.
+
+ Example:
+
+ \code
+ #ifdef NO_GAMES_ALLOWED
+ qmlRegisterTypeNotAvailable("MinehuntCore", 0, 1, "Game", "Get back to work, slacker!");
+ #else
+ qmlRegisterType<MinehuntGame>("MinehuntCore", 0, 1, "Game");
+ #endif
+ \endcode
+
+ This will cause any QML which uses this module and attempts to use the type to produce an error message:
+ \code
+ fun.qml: Get back to work, slacker!
+ Game {
+ ^
+ \endcode
+
+ Without this, a generic "Game is not a type" message would be given.
+
