Row is a Item Positioner. Positioner items are container items that manage the positions of items in a declarative user interface. RowLayout is part of Qt Quick Layouts. They manage both the positions and the sizes of items on a declarative user interface, and are well suited for resizable user interfaces. Your code with RowLayout … Read more
You can make a custom border element like this : CustomBorder.qml import QtQuick 1.0 Rectangle { property bool commonBorder : true property int lBorderwidth : 1 property int rBorderwidth : 1 property int tBorderwidth : 1 property int bBorderwidth : 1 property int commonBorderWidth : 1 z : -1 property string borderColor : “white” color: … Read more
You can use the childrenRect property for this: import QtQuick 2.0 Rectangle { width: 320 height: 200 Rectangle { color: “BurlyWood” anchors.centerIn: parent width: childrenRect.width + 20 height: childrenRect.height + 20 Text { id: hello x: 10 y: 10 text: “Hello” } Text { anchors.left: hello.right anchors.leftMargin: 10 anchors.top: hello.top text: “World” } } } … Read more
I found a much nicer answer to this question, suggested in a presentation of the Qt Developer Days 2011 “Qt Quick Best Practices and Design Patterns”. They use default property alias … to alias the child items to any property of any item. If you don’t want to alias the children but give the alias … Read more
Alternatively, You can use QVariantList (QList<QVariant>), it will automatically change to JavaScript array when passed to QML, and it is read and write-able from C++ and QML
On a conceptual level, they go together very well. I’ve written a python/qml/js/opengl program that combines everything fairly nicely. That was with Qt4.7 and PySide. If you’re just using QML, you can minimise the amount of Qt you’ll need to be exposed to (though, as always, more knowledge makes you more powerful). Essentially, once you … Read more
This is an old question but if someone still is wondering the same question, I’ll answer this as an update for the previous answer. The tutorials described in the URL above are still valid, very comprehensive and useful, and there are now also developer guides for mobile and desktop QML development at link: http://www.qt.io/training-materials/. The … Read more
Headline: QQmlApplicationEngine is newer and more powerful than QQuickView. QQmlApplicationEngine exposes some central application functionality to QML, which QQuickView application would normally control from C++: Connecting Qt.quit() to QCoreApplication::quit() Automatically loads translation files from an i18n directory adjacent to the main QML file. Automatically sets an incubation controller if the scene contains a QQuickWindow. Automatically … Read more
I’ll try to answer your questions: I think installed means they are located in the proper paths, so that they can be found at runtime You should not necessarily create/build a QmlExtensionPlugin for that purpose. You can also use as a module plain QML files in one directory with a qmldir describing this module. It … Read more
Ok I just found that I have to add this: onLinkActivated: Qt.openUrlExternally(link) I did not originally consider something like this because I thought if the string was correctly formatted it would open the link on its own.
