Here I would like to change the text parameter in cpp during runtime and it should refelect in qml during runtime..
Thanks a ton for the help

You don't have object "rect", you have "rect1" and "rect2"
rect1 - is your rootObject
rect2 - is children of rootObject,

2. Don't use such words like "object" it may be allready registered.

3. Do your onAccepted state gets called? Check it with Console.log("test")

4. Small example how to use properties and slots:

QmlApplicationViewer is just the QDeclarativeView subclass.

main.cpp
@
Q_DECL_EXPORT int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QScopedPointer<QApplication> app(createApplication(argc, argv));

QmlApplicationViewer viewer;
viewer.setOrientation(QmlApplicationViewer::ScreenOrientationAuto);
viewer.setMainQmlFile(QLatin1String("qml/simple/main.qml"));

MyClass mcls;
viewer.rootContext()->setContextProperty("myClass", &mcls);
viewer.showExpanded();
mcls.set_fullname("admin");
return app->exec();

}
@

myclass.h
@
class MyClass : public QObject
{
Q_OBJECT
Q_PROPERTY(QString fullname READ fullname WRITE set_fullname NOTIFY fullname_changed)

public:
explicit MyClass(QObject *parent = 0):QObject(parent){}
QString fullname(){return this->fname;}

public slots:
void set_fullname(const QString & str){qDebug() << str; this->fname = str; emit this->fullname_changed(this->fname);}

signals:
void fullname_changed(const QString &);

private:
QString fname;
};
@

main.qml
@
import QtQuick 1.1

Rectangle {
width: 360
height: 360
Text {
text: myClass.fullname
anchors.centerIn: parent
}
MouseArea {
anchors.fill: parent
onClicked: {
myClass.set_fullname("from qml");
}
}
}

Here you can download the test project from the post below: "Simple Project":http://vip2006.net/simple.tar.gz

@
public slots:
void set_fullname(const QString & str)
{
qDebug() << str;
this->fname = str;
emit this->fullname_changed(this->fname);
}
@
is giving an error,,

[Edit: Added @ code formatting -- mlong]

[AcerExtensa]

I can't read your mind! Which error??? Something about QDebug? Add #include <QDebug>

[Guest]

emit this->fullname_changed(this->fname);

This is giving an error

[AcerExtensa]

Which error???

[Guest]

expected token ; got this-> i tried several things but not workin

[AcerExtensa]

Can you just copy the whole error here?
Delete "this->" or delete whole emit statement it is not relevant in this example....

[Guest]

Can u help me with this example. I understand this better.
.qml file
@Rectangle {
id:rect1
signal dataRequired;
signal onchangecolor;
width:250
height:250

function updateData(text) { dataText.text = text}  // slot
function updatecolor(color){rect1.color="red"}

anchors.fill: parent; color: "black"

Text {
    id: dataText
    anchors.centerIn: parent; color: "white"
}

MouseArea {
    anchors.fill: parent
    onClicked:[ dataRequired(),
        onchangecolor()]
}

@Acerextensa: I want to change the color of the rectange using signals and slots cud u help me with the code or an idea. I tried this but could not understandt the concept. Thanks a ton for the help..:) I added the signal oncolorchange

[AcerExtensa]

Pack your project in archive and load somewhere on the web. Don't forget to post the link.

[AcerExtensa]

You have already done signal/slot connection for text in your code. Which concept do you not understand?

"binding.zip":http://vip2006.net/binding.zip

[Guest]

I know, that was an example. what should I do if i have to change the color of rectangle rect1, how should the property, function and signal be defined. say I want to change rect1 to yellow.

[AcerExtensa]

Why can't you just read links I've posted for you?
Examples there, is exactly what you are asking here!

bq. The child could be located like this:
@ QObject rect = object->findChild<QObject>("rect");
if (rect)
rect->setProperty("color", "red");@

Just change the name of object in findChild function from "rect" to "rect1" that's all. Please read it! I would not help you anymore if you will ask question which already explained in examples from tutorials again... Sorry...
