<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="tab"><span style="color:black"> 1. QComboBox.Model used to be a read-write property, now it's read only. Could you please change your code so that it remains read-write? Also, if possible, check for other such cases because
this is simply one I found, it doesn't mean there aren't more;</span></span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="tab"><span style="color:black"> 2. </span></span><span style="color:black">I'm wondering if it would be better to have something like a list of commonly used in API-s verbs, and then if the method starts with has or is or
is a single word (this can be checked by casing) and this single word is not a verb, the method should be generated as a property. The thing is that your way you have to look for properties all over the huge Qt API, and that with each Qt version (for example,
Qt 5 is coming very soon). Of course, the verb approach may actually turn out to be worse because there may be way too many verbs to enumerate. So this is simply a suggestion for you to think about if you like.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;background:white"><span style="color:black"><br>
As discussed with Mr. Dobrev, this patch finds methods with certain names and signatures and translates them into properties. This covers "Is" and "Has" properties along with a specified list of noun phrases. Getter methods that take arguments are renamed "Get"
(Sibling(int row, int column) becomes GetSibling(int row, int column)).<br>
<br>
The list of property names is incomplete. I'll add more as I find them.<br>
