Right Way of Updating a QML File from C++

[unni]

I just started learning QML. I have the following files in my application:

• main.cpp
• connection_handler.h/cpp
• main.qml
• MainForm.ui.qml

I am launching the qml file from main.cpp using
@ QQmlApplicationEngine engine;
engine.load(QUrl(QStringLiteral("qrc:/main.qml")));

QObject *root = engine.rootObjects().first();@

The connection_handler class just initiates a TCP connection and updates the UI regarding the status. Currently, I am using signals and slots for the UI update. I am connecting the signals and slots from main.cpp.

For updating the UI, am I doing this the right way or would you recommend better ways to accomplish this?

bq. Currently, I am using signals and slots for the UI update. I am connecting the signals and slots from main.cpp.

Yes that is also a right way. For other approaches you can check "this":http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtqml-cppintegration-interactqmlfromcpp.html doc.
