Get the root object from QML

[karim24]

I have a QML project with the following code in main.cpp

@
QApplication app(argc, argv);
QQmlApplicationEngine engine;
engine.load(QUrl(QStringLiteral("qrc:/main.qml")));
return app.exec();
@

How do I get the rootObject so I can access the QML elements to do C++ bindings, all the examples that I have seen , they load the QML with QQuickView, so is it possible to get the root object from QQmlApplicationEngine?.

Thanks

• QQmlApplicationEngine::​rootObjects()
• QQuickView::rootObject()

i bet the time writing this post took longer than it would have to check the docs for what you want ;)

Hi,

use engine.rootObject() method to get the list of objects.

You gotta be kidding me, that's all I wasted hours trying to do that, I checked the documentation and "googled" it, I have no idea how I missed that.
