[solved]Strange behavior of QML Elements written in Qt

xardas008

Hello guys,

I've written my own component in Qt and exposed it to QML to use it in another component.
So long everything works fine.

But when I add my new Component twice on my window, the first one gets rendered as expected, but the second one has the font of the title.

To make my Problem a little bit more clear I try to give an example:
@Item {
Text { // a caption
font.bold: true
...
}

MyComponent { // written in Qt, paints a timeline with text underneath
...
}
}@

My component looks something like this. I have a Text item as caption, and a small timeline where everything is painted in Qt (the line + text)

Things become even stranger. It looks like the font of timeline 2 is bound to the font of the caption of timeline 1.

But how could that be?

I don't fully understand. Can you post a complete but minimal example which shows the issue?

@
Rectangle {
id: rect1
Text {
id: text1
font.bold: true
font.pointSize: 20
}
MyQtComponent{
id: other1
... //(mostly anchors)
}
}

Rectangle {
id: rect2
Text {
id: text2
font.bold: true
font.pointSize: 20
}
MyQtComponent {
id: other2 // draws some text with QPainter inside qt, not qml, this one gets the font settings of text1
...
}
}
@

In MyQtComponent I use QPainter to draw some text without setting a font explicit.
The problem I have is, that as long as the font settings of text1 is set to 20 and bold, the font of other2 is also in this font setting. The font of other1 is normal. Both components are on the same window.

Ok problem solved. I added a
@QFont font("Arial",10);
painter->setFont(font);
@
to my Qt component and now everything gets correctly rendered.
Seems that Qt took one of the last font settings used on the same parent qml component.

Hi,

QDeclarativeView sets the QGraphicsView::DontSavePainterState optimization flag by default, which means any changes you make to the painter (such as painter->setFont()) in your paint() function need to be undone at the end of the paint() function, or they may "leak" to other items.
