Assign C++ object to Text element (implicit conversion to QString)

Hello, I’m trying to implicitly convert an object to QString in order to assign it to a Text element in qml. I think an example makes things clear: class Bar : public QObject {     ...     Q_INVOKABLE QString value(int param = -1); };   class Foo : public QObject {     ...     Q_PROPERTY(Bar * bar READ bar WRITE setbar NOTIFY onBarChanged); }; A Foo object is registered as context property at application start: viewer.rootContext()->setContextProperty("Foo", &fooObject); In qml the following works perfectly: Text {     ...     text: Foo.bar.value() } But in most cases I do not need to give a parameter to the value call() and it would be much more straight forward if I could just write Text {     ...     text: Foo.bar } At the moment there’s a runtime error which says “Unable to assign Bar to QString”. I tried to add a type cast operator to Bar:     Q_INVOKABLE operator QString()     {return value();} But this did not resolve the problem. Is it possible to convert an object to a QString implicitly? And if yes: how? Thank you very much in advance, Martin
