QML and Qt Quick

Well I start to slowly change some of my applications to QML. For the moment only small objects, so the speed doesn't slow. Once the QML scene graph is done , I will probably move almost all the interface to QML. At least for me it works because I want to add more kinky-animated look to my applications. Depends what do you want.

Without C++ this is going to be much slower. Make sure the UI is still fast enough on the slowest platform you are targeting.

[quote author="mbrasser" date="1295830345"] The sub-elements within a component are considered private, so you'll need to define your own "public API" that exposes the properties you want to manipulate. http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qml-extending-types.html gives a good overview of how you can go about this.[/quote] Perfect. I knew I had seen documentation about this but I couldn't find it. This explains everything.

When you build with remote compiler, it gets all files belonging to project. So if you want to add images etc to project you define them to OTHER_FILES or use qrc.

Hi, You should be able to set the width of a TextInput back to its "implicit width" (the width of the text it contains), by assigning undefined to its width property, either in script: @textInput.width = undefined@ or in a PropertyChanges @ PropertyChanges { target: textInput width: undefined }@ Regards, Michael

That worked like a charm, thank you!

Yes. Z order is local to the parent; that is, it only works among siblings. Look at z order as a series of numbers, instead of a single one. The z order of an item that is the grandchild of some other item would look something like this: 2.4.2. If another item has s z order number of 2.6, it would be above the first item no matter the last (local) z order number. As you found out, parent to the top item if you must be sure to be on top globally.

So I got that working but now the design module in qt creator cannot see my images. How can I fix this?

I used the code in the following path, but when i added more list modle element in the list , i can't scroll the list if i want to move the last element in the end, what should i do ? This has been made in to a Wiki Entry: http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Drag_and_Drop_within_a_GridView

Hi, It's possible to put the highlight either above or below the delegate (by manipulating the z property), but unfortunately it isn't possible to put it "in the middle" (i.e. between layers within your delegate). This is due to the way z ordering currently works -- z is local between siblings, and the highlight is a sibling of the delegate. This use case is something we've discussed in the past, and hopefully we'll be able to provide a solution for a future release. Regards, Michael

FWIW I posted a bug report here... http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTCOMPONENTS-399

Hi, If you haven't already seen it, you might also be interested in checking out the FolderListModel element in the Qt.labs namespace (http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qml-folderlistmodel.html). Regards, Michael

Don't forget to mark your thread as solved

I just tried PySide 1.0 beta 3 but it behaves exactly as beta 1. So sometimes it crashes Python when i quit the application. So I subclassed QDeclarativeView and defined a closeEvent function. This seems to be working so far. The difference between the two approaches is that with closeEvent the application window isn't closed before the function finishes. But with the use of different signals, the window closed but other Python threads were still running, which probably caused the crashes I was experiencing.

thanks a lot for your reply.

For reference, the documentation regarding component naming is at http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qml-extending-types.html#defining-new-components. The error message isn't very helpful in this case; I'll try to see if it can be improved. Regards, Michael

I was also talking about phone capabilities ;-) I have added NetworkServices in the .pro file. Well most of the time the application is working, everything. But very sometimes there's no network connection, in the whole application. But when I open the web browser, I can browse on internet, so it can't be that the phone doesn't have network access.
