If you register the class with QMetaType with Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(Class*), you
can then call QMetaType::type("Class"). With the returned int, you can then
call QMetaType::metaObjectForType(integer). I think this is what you are
looking for.
class Foo : public QObject
{
...
};
Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(Foo*)
const char *string = "Foo";
const QMetaObject* metaObject =
QMetaType::metaObjectForType(QMetaType::type(string));
I haven't tried compiling this but I believe this is how it will work based off
of the docs for QMetaType.

I'm not 10% udnerstanding your intentions, but this might help. You can create
any QObject through QMetaObject by the class name, then get the meta object for
the created object. Look at QMetaObject::newInstance(..)
You need a "class factory" design pattern.
Here is an example:

Subject: [Interest] metaObject from class name
Hi
In my application I have a class name as a string
This is the name of a class derived from QObject.
Now what I would like to do is the get metaObject for this class from the string
Is this at all possible?
Many thanks
