[Solved] C++ QQuickItem with QML MouseArea doesn't behave as expected

laurent bauer

Hello,

In a C++ QQuickItem derived class, I'm creating a QML Item the following way.

@
QQmlEngine engine;
QQmlComponent component(&engine);
component.setData("import QtQuick 2.0 \n"
"Rectangle { "
" width:200; "
" height:100;"
" color : rectMA.containsMouse ? 'red' : 'blue';"
" MouseArea { "
" id : rectMA;"
" anchors.fill: parent;"
" drag.target: parent; "
" hoverEnabled: true; "
" onClicked : console.log('clicked');"
" }"
"}", QUrl());

QQuickItem * item = qobject_cast<QQuickItem *>(component.create());
item->setParentItem(this);
item->setAcceptedMouseButtons(Qt::AllButtons);

@

The MouseArea doesn't behave as expected:

drag is perfectly working
onClicked : console.log('clicked'); returns nothing
color : rectMA.containsMouse ? 'red' : 'blue';" has no effect. It should when hovered
However, the hover is recognized (I don't explain here why)

Using @component.loadUrl (QUrl::fromLocalFile("myFile.qml")@ instead of setData has the same effect (doesn"t work as expected)

Of course, if I use this "myFile.qml" as a pure QML without C++, it works

Anybody has an Idea ??

Thanks in advance
Laurent

Solved :

It works if I reuse the QQmlEngine of the parent QQmlViewer.
Here, the QQmlEngine was locally created.
