### QVariant qVariantFromValue ( const T & value )

Returns a variant containing a copy of the given value with template type `T`.

This function is equivalent to QVariant::fromValue(value).

Note: This function was provided as a workaround for MSVC 6 which did not support member template functions. It is advised to use the other form in new code.

For example, a QObject pointer can be stored in a variant with the following code:

     QObject *object = getObjectFromSomewhere();
     QVariant data = QVariant::fromValue(object);

See also QVariant::fromValue().

### void qVariantSetValue ( QVariant & variant, const T & value )

Sets the contents of the given variant to a copy of the value with the specified template type `T`.

This function is equivalent to QVariant::setValue(value).

Note: This function was provided as a workaround for MSVC 6 which did not support member template functions. It is advised to use the other form in new code.

See also QVariant::setValue().
