+ \since 4.4
+ \class QScriptClass
+
+ \brief The QScriptClass class provides an interface for defining custom behavior of (a class of) Qt Script objects.
+
+ \ingroup script
+ \mainclass
+
+ The QScriptClass class defines an interface for handling various
+ aspects of interaction with the Qt Script objects associated with
+ the class. Such objects are created by calling
+ QScriptEngine::newObject(), passing a pointer to the QScriptClass as
+ argument.
+
+ By subclassing QScriptClass, you can define precisely how access to
+ properties of the objects that use your class is handled. This
+ enables a fully dynamic handling of properties, e.g. it's more
+ powerful than QScriptEngine::newQObject(). For example, you can use
+ QScriptClass to implement array-type objects (i.e. objects that
+ handle the \c{length} property, and properties whose names are valid
+ array indexes, in a special way), or to implement a "live"
+ (runtime-defined) proxy to an underlying object.
+
+ If you just need to handle access to a set of properties that are
+ known at the time an object is created (i.e. "semi-statically"), you
+ might consider using QScriptValue::setProperty() to define
+ getter/setter functions for the relevant properties, rather than
+ subclassing QScriptClass.
+
+ Reimplement queryProperty() to specify which properties are handled
+ in a custom way by your script class (i.e. should be
+ \bold{delegated} to the QScriptClass), and which properties should
+ be handled just like normal Qt Script object properties.
+
+ Reimplement property() and setProperty() to perform the actual
+ access (read or write) to the properties that your class
+ handles. Additionally, you can reimplement propertyFlags() to
+ specify custom flags for your properties.
+
+ Reimplement newIterator() to provide an iterator for objects of your
+ custom class. This is only necessary if objects of your class can
+ have custom properties that you want to be reported when an object
+ is used together with the QScriptValueIterator class, or when an
+ object is used in a for-in enumeration statement in a script.
+
+ When implementing custom classes of objects, you typically use
+ QScriptValue::setData() to store instance-specific data as part of
+ object initialization; the data won't be accessible from scripts
+ directly, but you can access it in e.g. your reimplementations of
+ property() and setProperty() (by calling QScriptValue::data()) to
+ perform custom processing.
+
+ Reimplement prototype() to provide a custom prototype object for
+ your script class.
+
+ Reimplement supportsExtension() and extension() if your custom
+ script class supports one or more of the extensions specified by the
+ Extension enum.
