+<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
+
+
+The TQVariant class acts like a union for the most common TQt data types.
+<p>
+
+
+<p> Because C++ forbids unions from including types that have
+non-default constructors or destructors, most interesting TQt
+classes cannot be used in unions. Without TQVariant, this would be
+a problem for <a href="qobject.html#property">TQObject::property</a>() and for database work, etc.
+<p> A TQVariant object holds a single value of a single <a href="#type">type</a>() at a
+time. (Some type()s are multi-valued, for example a string list.)
+You can find out what type, T, the variant holds, convert it to a
+different type using one of the asT() functions, e.g. <a href="#asSize">asSize</a>(),
+get its value using one of the toT() functions, e.g. <a href="#toSize">toSize</a>(), and
+check whether the type can be converted to a particular type using
+<a href="#canCast">canCast</a>().
+<p> The methods named toT() (for any supported T, see the <a href="#Type-enum">Type</a>
+documentation for a list) are const. If you ask for the stored
+type, they return a copy of the stored object. If you ask for a
+type that can be generated from the stored type, toT() copies and
+converts and leaves the object itself unchanged. If you ask for a
+type that cannot be generated from the stored type, the result
+depends on the type (see the function documentation for details).
+<p> Note that three data types supported by TQVariant are <a href="shclass.html#explicitly-shared">explicitly shared</a>, namely <a href="qimage.html">TQImage</a>, <a href="qpointarray.html">TQPointArray</a>, and <a href="qcstring.html">TQCString</a>, and in these
+cases the toT() methods return a <a href="shclass.html#shallow-copy">shallow copy</a>. In almost all cases
+you must make a <a href="shclass.html#deep-copy">deep copy</a> of the returned values before modifying
+them.
+<p> The asT() functions are not const. They do conversion like the
+toT() methods, set the variant to hold the converted value, and
+return a reference to the new contents of the variant.
+<p> Here is some example code to demonstrate the use of TQVariant:
+<p> <pre>
+ <a href="qdatastream.html">TQDataStream</a> out(...);
+ TQVariant v(123); // The variant now contains an int
+ int x = v.<a href="#toInt">toInt</a>(); // x = 123
+ out &lt;&lt; v; // Writes a type tag and an int to out
+ v = <a href="#TQVariant">TQVariant</a>("hello"); // The variant now contains a TQCString
+ v = <a href="#TQVariant">TQVariant</a>(tr("hello"));// The variant now contains a TQString
+ int y = v.<a href="#toInt">toInt</a>(); // y = 0 since v cannot be converted to an int
+ <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a> s = v.<a href="#toString">toString</a>(); // s = tr("hello") (see TQObject::tr())
+ out &lt;&lt; v; // Writes a type tag and a TQString to out
+ ...
+ <a href="qdatastream.html">TQDataStream</a> in(...); // (opening the previously written stream)
+ in &gt;&gt; v; // Reads an Int variant
+ int z = v.<a href="#toInt">toInt</a>(); // z = 123
+ <a href="qapplication.html#qDebug">qDebug</a>("Type is %s", // prints "Type is int"
+ v.<a href="#typeName">typeName</a>());
+ v.<a href="#asInt">asInt</a>() += 100; // The variant now hold the value 223.
+ v = <a href="#TQVariant">TQVariant</a>( TQStringList() );
+ v.<a href="#asStringList">asStringList</a>().append( "Hello" );
+ </pre>
+
+<p> You can even store <a href="qvaluelist.html">TQValueList</a><TQVariant>s and
+<a href="qmap.html">TQMap</a><TQString,TQVariant>s in a variant, so you can easily construct
+arbitrarily complex data structures of arbitrary types. This is
+very powerful and versatile, but may prove less memory and speed
+efficient than storing specific types in standard data structures.
+<p> TQVariant also supports the notion of NULL values, where you have a
+defined type with no value set.
+<pre>
+ TQVariant x, y( TQString() ), z( TQString("") );
+ x.<a href="#asInt">asInt</a>();
+ // x.<a href="#isNull">isNull</a>() == TRUE, y.isNull() == TRUE, z.isNull() == FALSE
+ </pre>

+
+<h3 class=fn><a name="TQVariant-11"></a>TQVariant::TQVariant ( double&nbsp;val )
+</h3>
+Constructs a new variant with a floating point value, <em>val</em>.
