Scope of the "id:" with the TabView Control in Qt Quick?

Draghi

Hi!

I have the following simple QML example:

@import QtQuick 2.1
import QtQuick.Controls 1.0
import QtQuick.Window 2.0

ApplicationWindow {
title: qsTr("Hello World")
width: 640
height: 480

Button {
    text: qsTr("Test")
    anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
    anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter

    onClicked: {
        tab1.children[0].text = "Hello!" // WORKS !!!
        txt1.text = "Hi!"   // DOESN'T WORK !!!
    }
}

TabView {
    id: tv1
    Tab {
        id: tab1
        TextField {
            id: txt1
            text: "Xxx"
        }
    }

    Tab {
        id: tab2
    }
}

}
@

When I click the button, I want to change the text of the text field control placed on the first tab. The text field control has the id: txt1, but the line

@txt1.text = "Hi!"@

doesn't work and produces the error message:

...Test2.qml:18: ReferenceError: txt1 is not defined

On the other side, the line:

@tab1.children[0].text = "Hello!" @

works as expected which means that the control tree is correct. However this method is less convenient.

Why is the more conveninet id-based method not working in this case?

Best regards,
Draghi

QML code of TabView (Qt/5.1.0/gcc_64/qml/QtQuick/Controls/TabView.qml) looks like all the tabs are added dynamically. I think the problem in this.
