QML and Qt Quick

The layout only finalizes after the window is part of the scene graph, so showing it immediately causes visible resizing. Instead, set the QQuickView visibility to hidden or move it off-screen first. After creating and adding the QML component, wait for implicitWidth and implicitHeight to be valid (you can use a short QTimer::singleShot ). Then resize the window and show it—this way, the user only sees the final, correct size.

@jhayar Thank you, that makes sense. But ItemSelectionModel.Select doesn't work either. So I'm not sure what you are supposed to use there. Update: I figured out what the problem was. The standard practice is to use a bitwise or with SelectionModel objects. Also I got the index line wrong from the start. The below works: tableView.selectionModel.select( tableView.model.index(row, 0), ItemSelectionModel.Toggle | ItemSelectionModel.Rows) And now I have found out that selections made this way don't survive the filter proxy so I need to do my own logic anyway. Thanks for the learning.

@SuhasKrishanamurthy, thanks for your help, but the GridView component has fixed cell's width and height. Items' height can grow up, but if it will be greater than cell's size, the collision occures. If I adjusted GridView's cell size depending on size of largest item, there were too much free space between small items. The following code lays items out with collision: GridView { id: gridView width: 600 height: 400 cellWidth: 200 cellHeight: 100 flow: GridView.FlowTopToBottom model: ListModel { ListElement { value: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit" } ListElement { value: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum." } ListElement { value: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" } ListElement { value: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" } ListElement { value: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" } ListElement { value: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" } ListElement { value: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" } ListElement { value: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" } ListElement { value: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" } ListElement { value: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" } ListElement { value: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" } ListElement { value: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" } ListElement { value: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" } ListElement { value: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" } ListElement { value: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" } ListElement { value: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" } } // orientation: Qt.Horizontal // GridView doesn't have this property boundsBehavior: Flickable.StopAtBounds clip: true delegate: Item { width: gridView.cellWidth height: contentItem.implicitHeight required property string value Rectangle { id: contentItem width: parent.width color: "lightgray" implicitHeight: tex.implicitHeight + 20 Text { id: tex text: value wrapMode: Text.WordWrap anchors.margins: 10 anchors.fill: parent } } } } [image: 5511da81-8d79-4306-a3e0-805fb1a8683a.png] The desired behavior is lay items out onto the first column until it has free space and then turn into the next column (see picture in the question). Unfortunately, GridView lays item out strictly as a grid. This is partially implemented with Flow + Repeater layout: [image: 0887646e-c6a2-4106-b30c-ff9f8b07a38f.png]

Use Actions inside the Repeater, associate them with the ActionGroup, and bind them to the MenuItem. Menu { title: "Mouse mode" id: mouseModesMenu Repeater { model: mouseModes Action { id: mouseAction text: modelData checkable: true ActionGroup.group: mouseModeActions onTriggered: { console.log("selected", modelData) topoDataItem.setMouseMode(modelData) } } delegate: MenuItem { action: mouseAction } } } ActionGroup { id: mouseModeActions exclusive: true }

@IamSumit said in Qt3D Extras and Qt3D Core support in Qt 6.7.2 ?: QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component qrc:/qt/qml/Test3D/Main.qml:114:9: Qt3DExtras.Camera - Qt3DExtras is neither a type nor a namespace According to the docs, the Camera type is in Qt3D.Render, not Qt3D.Extras: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qml-qt3d-render-camera.html In QML, you don't prefix the type with the module/namespace. So write Camera instead of Qt3DRender.Camera (exception: If you apply a Qualifier to the import statement, then you would prefix the type with the Qualifier; see https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtqml-syntax-imports.html )

I've found a solution. Find the folder with the same name as your Qml module which defined though qt_add_qml_module in the Debug folder ,copy it to the same-level directory as the exe file you want to publish, and then call windeployqyt. Hope this helps save some time for those who encounter this baffling error.

@jsulm I didn't but I did now and it is indeed a behavior that was changed and there are bugs logged already.

Sorry man, my bad. I had a conflicting and similar type somewhere else named CameraDialog in APSS module. I don't know why QML Engine did not prefer the one in the same directory over the other. But it's solved.

Then you should compare your code to it and adjust it.

@StudentScripter Yes, this approach that you provided will work without problems, but I want to try to do it without qt_add_library(mymodules STATIC) so that there is not a lot of junk in the project tree, and it turns out to be possible. But we have to wait

@RynoJ Two observations: C# is a lot closer to C++ than to Python, which is a completely different language. QML is a declarative language, and not really a programming language. Quite different from normal procedural programming like C# (or for that matter C++ or Python). It is a totally different paradigm. Depending on what you did in C# about e.g. the UI, using Qt widgets (with either C++ or Python) would likely be a lot closer than anything QML.

Ooh, don't know how I missed that. So, what should I use?

A QML singleton file is hardly more complicated and has the benefit of being typed and using a proper module import, making the tooling easy. // Globals.qml pragma singleton import QtQml QtObject { readonly property string defaultUrl: "https://www.qt.io" }

Please try a more recent Qt version. 5.15 is EOL. I can’t reproduce this on 6.5.

That depends on what you specify for your UX. If you don't want to have to use a submit button then mapping each textfield to a c++ property is the more direct way yes. Doing that on editingFinished is a good solution.
