Qt Property initialization, inconsistent behaviour object and literal
-
I am using 2 Text components and intializing the text property on both. The first one is
initialized using qsTr("Text 1") and the other one using "Text 2". The output of this isOutput (The text i can see on the screen):
Text 1 changed
Text 2
I was expecting that either no onChanged would be called or both. Is there anyone here
that can explain to me why this is happening?@
import QtQuick 1.1Rectangle {
width: 360
height: 360Text { id: lblText1; text: qsTr("Text 1") onTextChanged: { lblText1.text = "Text 1 changed"; } } Text{ id: lblText2; text: "Text 2" x: 0 y: 50 onTextChanged: { lblText2.text = "Text 2 changed"; } } MouseArea { anchors.fill: parent onClicked: { Qt.quit(); } }
}
@BR

lblText1 is binding to a function, the result of which cannot be known until the runtime starts processing proper. This happens much later, i.e. when the event loop is entered.
lblText2 is binding to a constant expression. The QML runtime has no need to re-evaluate this at a later time since it is known to be constant.
To make lblText2 behave like lblText1 you could bind the text property to a javascript function that just returns the string.
