\class QDeclarativeProperty
\since 4.7
\brief The QDeclarativeProperty class abstracts accessing properties on objects created from  QML.

As QML uses Qt's meta-type system all of the existing QMetaObject classes can be used to introspect
and interact with objects created by QML.  However, some of the new features provided by QML - such 
as type safety and attached properties - are most easily used through the QDeclarativeProperty class 
that simplifies some of their natural complexity.

Unlike QMetaProperty which represents a property on a class type, QDeclarativeProperty encapsulates 
a property on a specific object instance.  To read a property's value, programmers create a 
QDeclarativeProperty instance and call the read() method.  Likewise to write a property value the
write() method is used.

For example, for the following QML code:

\qml
// MyItem.qml
import QtQuick 1.0

Text { text: "A bit of text" }
\endqml

The \l Text object's properties could be accessed using QDeclarativeProperty, like this:

\code
#include <QDeclarativeProperty>
#include <QGraphicsObject>

...

QDeclarativeView view(QUrl::fromLocalFile("MyItem.qml"));
QDeclarativeProperty property(view.rootObject(), "font.pixelSize");
qWarning() << "Current pixel size:" << property.read().toInt();
property.write(24);
qWarning() << "Pixel size should now be 24:" << property.read().toInt();
\endcode
