bool qVariantCanConvert(const QVariant & value)

Returns true if the given value can be converted to the template type specified; otherwise returns false.

This function is equivalent to QVariant::canConvert(value).

Note: This function was provided as a workaround for MSVC 6 which did not support member template functions. It is advised to use the other form in new code.

See also QVariant::canConvert().

QVariant qVariantFromValue(const T & value)

Returns a variant containing a copy of the given value with template type T.

This function is equivalent to QVariant::fromValue(value).

Note: This function was provided as a workaround for MSVC 6 which did not support member template functions. It is advised to use the other form in new code.

For example, a QObject pointer can be stored in a variant with the following code:

QObject *object = getObjectFromSomewhere();
QVariant data = QVariant::fromValue(object);

See also QVariant::fromValue().

void qVariantSetValue(QVariant & variant, const T & value)

Sets the contents of the given variant to a copy of the value with the specified template type T.

This function is equivalent to QVariant::setValue(value).

Note: This function was provided as a workaround for MSVC 6 which did not support member template functions. It is advised to use the other form in new code.

See also QVariant::setValue().

T qVariantValue(const QVariant & value)

Returns the given value converted to the template type T.

This function is equivalent to QVariant::value<T>(value).

Note: This function was provided as a workaround for MSVC 6 which did not support member template functions. It is advised to use the other form in new code.

See also QVariant::value() and qvariant_cast().
