[SOLVED] PathView: accessing delegate at current index

strekazoid

I have PathView filled with the list of delegates. How do I access a delegate at current index?

Question is: why would you need to? Sounds like you are trying to do something imperative, when you should be doing something declarative instead... But, I could very well be wrong, of course.

I have a carousel view implemented with PathView. Here is the example it is based on:
http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Qt_Quick_Carousel

The thing is that I need to make one of the items special by sending an event from outside of the PathView. I have a button which suppose to make a current item special when pressed. PathView provides me with the curentIndex, but it seems there is no way to access the current item itself. Or is there?

Should be easy to solve. Every delegate has access to it's index, and can access any other non-dynamic item in the scene by id. So, why don't you just put the index number that works as the "special" index as a property in an index somewhere, and let the delegates determine based on that if they are The Chosen One? Or, alternatively, you might simply make it a property of the model itself.

Thanks for the idea! It works now. Solved by adding additional property to the listModel, and then modifying it according to the current index of PathView:

@onClicked: listModel.setProperty(pathview.currentIndex, "active", true)@
