Property Documentation

cursorFlashTime : const int

This property holds the text cursor's flash (blink) time in milliseconds.

The flash time is the time used to display, invert and restore the caret display. Usually the text cursor is displayed for half the cursor flash time, then hidden for the same amount of time.

Access functions:

Notifier signal:

fontSmoothingGamma : const qreal

This property holds the gamma value used in font smoothing.

Access functions:

keyboardAutoRepeatRate : const int

This property holds the rate, in events per second, in which additional repeated key presses will automatically be generated if a key is being held down.

Access functions:

keyboardInputInterval : const int

This property holds the time limit, in milliseconds, that distinguishes a key press from two consecutive key presses.

Access functions:

Notifier signal:

mouseDoubleClickInterval : const int

This property holds the time limit in milliseconds that distinguishes a double click from two consecutive mouse clicks.

Access functions:

Notifier signal:

mousePressAndHoldInterval : const int

This property holds the time limit in milliseconds that activates a press and hold.

This property was introduced in Qt 5.3.

Access functions:

Notifier signal:

passwordMaskCharacter : const QChar

This property holds the character used to mask the characters typed into text input fields in password mode.

Access functions:

passwordMaskDelay : const int

This property holds the time, in milliseconds, a typed letter is displayed unshrouded in a text input field in password mode.

Access functions:

setFocusOnTouchRelease : const bool

This property holds if focus objects (line edits etc) should receive input focus after a touch/mouse release. This is normal behavior on touch platforms. On desktop platforms, the standard is to set focus already on touch/mouse press.

Access functions:

showIsFullScreen : const bool

This property holds if the platform defaults to windows being fullscreen, otherwise .

Note: The platform may still choose to show certain windows non-fullscreen, such as popups or dialogs. This property only reports the default behavior.

Access functions:

See also QWindow::show() and showIsMaximized().

showIsMaximized : const bool

This property holds if the platform defaults to windows being maximized, otherwise .

Note: The platform may still choose to show certain windows non-maximized, such as popups or dialogs. This property only reports the default behavior.

This property was introduced in Qt 5.6.

Access functions:

See also QWindow::show() and showIsFullScreen().

singleClickActivation : const bool

This property holds if items should be activated by single click, false if they should be activated by double click instead.

This property was introduced in Qt 5.5.

Access functions:

startDragDistance : const int

This property holds the distance, in pixels, that the mouse must be moved with a button held down before a drag and drop operation will begin.

If you support drag and drop in your application, and want to start a drag and drop operation after the user has moved the cursor a certain distance with a button held down, you should use this property's value as the minimum distance required.

For example, if the mouse position of the click is stored in startPos and the current position (e.g. in the mouse move event) is currentPos, you can find out if a drag should be started with code like this:

if ((startPos - currentPos).manhattanLength() >=
        QApplication::startDragDistance())
    startTheDrag();

Access functions:

Notifier signal:

See also startDragTime, QPoint::manhattanLength(), and Drag and Drop.

startDragTime : const int

This property holds the time, in milliseconds, that a mouse button must be held down before a drag and drop operation will begin.

If you support drag and drop in your application, and want to start a drag and drop operation after the user has held down a mouse button for a certain amount of time, you should use this property's value as the delay.

Access functions:

Notifier signal:

See also startDragDistance and Drag and Drop.

startDragVelocity : const int

This property holds the limit for the velocity, in pixels per second, that the mouse may be moved, with a button held down, for a drag and drop operation to begin. A value of 0 means there is no such limit.

Access functions:

See also startDragDistance and Drag and Drop.

tabFocusBehavior : const Qt::TabFocusBehavior

This property holds the focus behavior on press of the tab key.

Note: Do not bind this value in QML because the change notifier signal is not implemented yet.

This property was introduced in Qt 5.5.

Access functions:

Notifier signal:

useHoverEffects : bool

This property holds if UI elements should use hover effects. This is the standard behavior on desktop platforms with a mouse pointer, whereas on touch platforms the overhead of hover event delivery can be avoided.

This property was introduced in Qt 5.8.

Access functions:

Notifier signal:

useRtlExtensions : const bool

This property holds if right-to-left writing direction is enabled, otherwise .

Access functions:
