Hi Mohamed!

did you already read this doc?
http://doc-snapshot.qt-project.org/4.8/qtbinding.html

its a good introduction about exchanging data between QML and C++!

Rgds, Steven

Yes, I did but this did not help me. Do you have an idea on how to go about with this.. Thanks in advance

I have an idea on how to link the date but I need to get the user date from the textinput field which is a big barrier for me, am stuck with this for the past 10 days:(

I suggest to derive your C++ class from QObject, and add that class to the Declaratice view.

@
MyClass myClass; // <-- Create your class

QDeclarativeView view;
view.rootContext()->setContextProperty("myClass", &myClass); // <-- Add class to view

view.setSource(QUrl::fromLocalFile("MyQml.qml"));
view.show();
@

Within your C++ class, create a slot that accepts a QString as parameter,

@
class MyClass : public QObject
{
Q_OBJECT

public slots:
void cppSlot(const QString &value) {
qDebug() << "Called the C++ slot with value:" << value;
}
};
@

from within QML, link your textinput to this slot

@
// MyItem.qml
import QtQuick 1.0

TextInput {
id: item
width: 100; height: 20

 onAccepted: myClass.cppSLot(item.text)

}
@

This is a quick draft, but i hope this would make it more clear !?

[stevenceuppens]

i guess :) thats how i do it...

Did you try it already this way?

[143U]

Thanks you Mr. Steven I got an idea now..

[143U]

Yes, I did give it a try before, but I did not include onAccepted attribute, is there any way we can make an UI where the user enters the data once he hits enter the Ui disappears, and takes it to the CPp window.

any idea on how to make the changes in qml from cpp--
