What to do if I want to reuse element as well as call different dialog each time?

owenzhao

In my setting page, I just want to reuse some code, which is a Text Element, follow by a Button Element, I will open a dialog when button is clicked. The problem is I want to open a diffenent dialog each time. So I don't know what to do now. It seems that I have to drop reusing my code, or the I can't get the dialog open.
My code is like this, SettingPageElement.qml:
@// import QtQuick 1.0 // to target S60 5th Edition or Maemo 5
import QtQuick 1.1
import com.nokia.symbian 1.1

Flow {
property string displayText
property string buttonText
Text {
color: platformStyle.colorNormalLight
anchors.left: parent.left
width: 360
font.pixelSize: platformStyle.fontSizeLarge
text: displayText
}
Button {
anchors.right: parent.right
width: 270
font.pixelSize: platformStyle.fontSizeMedium
text: buttonText
onClicked: //I want to open a different dialog each time.
}
}
@

my SettingPage.qml will like this:
@Column {
SettingPageElement {
id: firstSetting
displayText: "Time property"
buttonText: "30"
}
}@
Anyone has an idea of what should I do?
Thank you.

Try to encapsulate inside a Item object
@
Item {
id: mItem

 Flow {
      ............
 }

}

Thank you. I know by using this can solve the problem. But I want to reuse the codes, which means I don't need to type them each time.

You dont have to rewrite the same all the time, try this:

@
// import QtQuick 1.0 // to target S60 5th Edition or Maemo 5
import QtQuick 1.1
import com.nokia.symbian 1.1

Item{

Flow {
property string displayText
property string buttonText
Text {
color: platformStyle.colorNormalLight
anchors.left: parent.left
width: 360
font.pixelSize: platformStyle.fontSizeLarge
text: displayText
}
Button {
anchors.right: parent.right
width: 270
font.pixelSize: platformStyle.fontSizeMedium
text: buttonText
onClicked: //I want to open a different dialog each time.
}
}
}

Then? I want to @ onClicked: //I want to open a different dialog each time.@
for the firstSetting, it will be @ onClicked: firstDialog.open()@
for the secondSetting, it will be @ onClicked: secondDialog.open()@

I think maybe I can replace it to @ onClicked:openDialog(dialogUrl)@
and reimplement the function like
@ function openDialog(dialogUrl) {
var component = Qt.createComponent(dialogUrl);
if (component.status == Component.Ready) {
var dialog = component.createObject(settingPage);
}
}@
