[Solved] ListElements (ListModel) defined in other qml files?

[Thanana]

I got a fonctionnal ListModel defined like this :

@
ListModel {
id: leftGrid
ListElement { icon: "Images/1.png" }
ListElement { icon: "Images/2.png" }
ListElement { icon: "Images/3.png" }
ListElement { icon: "Images/4.png" }
}
@

The thing is that I'd like to define ListElement in separate qml files but I really don't know what to type in these other qml files, and how to call them from the main file...

Then, I'd like to add some fields to SOME Elements but it won't work with the PathView
definition :

@
Component {
id: componentDelegate
Item {
Image {
source: icon
}
}
}
@

right ?

Don't know how to deal with this problem too... :(

Any help with be welcomed, thanks in advance.

Hello,

you can write your model in separate file:

Data.qml
@

import QtQuick 1.0

ListModel {
id: leftGrid
ListElement { icon: "Images/1.png" }
ListElement { icon: "Images/2.png" }
ListElement { icon: "Images/3.png" }
ListElement { icon: "Images/4.png" }
}
@

And than you can use it in other QML file:

main.qml

@
import QtQuick 1.0

PathView{
model: Data {}
}
@

I can't understand your second question :( Can you explain a bit more?

[Thanana]

Hello, and thx for your answer.

About the first question, what i want to place in qml files are the ListElements, NOT the ListModel. Something like :
@ListModel {
id: leftGrid
ListElement { myWidget1 }
ListElement { myWidget2 }
ListElement { myWidget3 }
ListElement { myWidget4 }
}@

or maybe something like :
@ListModel {
id: leftGrid
myWidget1
myWidget2
myWidget3
myWidget4
}@
I don't know.. but I want ListElements in qml files

About the 2nd question, let's consider 2 ListElements (and independantly from question 1). So we got this :
@ListElement { nb: "3" }
ListElement { nb: 3
icon: "Images/2.png" }@

And then I'd like to do something like :
@Component {
id: componentDelegate
Item {
Image {
if icon.isDefined() {
source: icon
}
else {
source : "Images/DefaultImage.png"
}
}
}
}@

Or maybe something like :

@Image {
    source: icon ? icon : "Images/DefaultImage.png"
}@

Do you know what I mean ?

Thx in advance for your help, i'm really lost on it...

On second question. AFAIK all ListElements should have equal number of roles so you can write

@
ListElement {
nb: "3"
icon: ""
}
ListElement {
nb: 3
icon: "Images/2.png"
}
@

and than check

@
Component {
id: componentDelegate
Item {
Image {
if ( icon != "" ) {
source: icon
}
else {
source : "Images/DefaultImage.png"
}
}
}
}
@

For first question. What is type of myWidget1? Is it inherits Item?

I think it is possible to write something like this:
@
ListModel {
id: leftGrid
ListElement { roleName: myWidget1 }
ListElement { roleName: myWidget2 }
ListElement { roleName: myWidget3 }
ListElement { roleName: myWidget4 }
}
@

and in your delegate:

@
Component {
id: componentDelegate
Item {
id: roleName
}
}
@

but I`m not sure if this works.

[Thanana]

@Component {
id: componentDelegate
Item {
Image {
if ( icon != "" ) {
source: icon
}
else {
source : "Images/DefaultImage.png"
}
}
}
}@

gives me the error "Unexpected symbol : if"

and about the first question, I don't know what the write in myWidget1 :/ That's just the general structure I want to have !

Some ideas about how to use "if" and about the other question ?

Thx in advance :)

In regard to using "if", try:
@
Component {
id: componentDelegate
Item {
Image {
source: (icon !="")?icon:"Images/DefaultImage.png"
}
}
}
@
or
@
Component {
id: componentDelegate
Item {
Image {
source: {
if (icon !="") {
return icon
} else {
return "Images/DefaultImage.png"
}
}
}
}
}
@

Ok, it works for the condition statement :)

So, here is a summary for my main problem :

I got a fonctionnal ListModel defined like this :

@ListModel {
id: leftGrid
ListElement { icon: "Images/1.png" }
ListElement { icon: "Images/2.png" }
}@

The thing is that I'd like to define ListElement in separate qml files but I really don't know how to do it...

I wrote the qml like this :

@//myWidget.qml
import QtQuick 1.0

ListElement {
icon: "Images/X.png"
}@

But I don't know how to "invoke" or "instanciate" it in my main file...

I tried :

@ListModel {
id: leftGrid
ListElement { icon: "Images/1.png" }
myWidget //qml file
}@

and :

@ListModel {
id: leftGrid
ListElement { icon: "Images/1.png" }
ListElement { myWidget }
}@

Both doesn't work...

Any help with be welcomed, thanks in advance.

It seems that it is not possible to have ListElement in separate file. ListElement normally contains a few lines of code. So I don`t see a problem to have ListModel in separate file. If you are trying to create a model that contains some widgets, may be "Reapeater":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qml-repeater.html will be more convenient.

Ok will try it :)
Thx !
