+ \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.
