[SOLVED] Reference error in ListView highlight component

njeisecke

I'm feeling as if I've started using Qt Quicks just 20 minutes ago...

The following trivial code does not work.

I cannot reference from the highlight component to the ListView that is in the same scope.

Either I'm totally blind or there is actually something wrong inside Qt (4.8.1). I would appreciate any help!

Main.qml
@
import QtQuick 1.1

Column {
width: 300
height: 300

Reel {
id: reelInstance // setting some local id here
}
}
@

Reel.qml
@
import QtQuick 1.1

ListView {
id: reel
width: 100
height: 100

property string someProperty: "Bla!"

highlight: Text {
// results in "ReferenceError: Can't find variable: reel"
text: ">>> " + reel.someProperty
}

delegate: Text {
// interestingly: this works as expected
text: "M " + reel.someProperty + " - " + modelData
}

model: 10
}

I see the same behavior in both 4.8.1 and 4.7.4. (Doesn't work for me either.)

I don't know. Seems like that should work.

I also think that it should work. I've filed a bug:

This is fixed with d25fc4c63fa4512aa1cfc5ce3877e4d8632b3fec.

Thanks!

Hello,

Anyone knows of a workaround for this issue. I would like it to work on the 4.8.1 version with no modification. Thank you.

You can use the ListView.view attached property.

Exactly what I needed, thank you so much Njeisecke!
