How to find nested QML objects for C++
-
So I have QML file with a StackView and a Rectangle and ListView nested inside. The Rectangle and ListView have signals that I want to connect in C++ but I am unsure of how to get them. I have a view in C++ and I tried doing view.findChild<QObject*>("objectName") but it comes back NULL. Each of the QML objects have a unique id and objectName assigned to them so I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. If someone could offer some suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.

This is what the docs say:
Delegates are instantiated as needed and may be destroyed at any time. They are parented to ListView's contentItem, not to the view itself. State should never be stored in a delegate.
So, I think you should first find the content item and then run findChild() on that object.

@RyonMS Could you elaborate on your question? It is unclear to me what you are trying to do. You say you have a C++ view, which you want to connect to a Rectangle and ListView?
Maybe it's a good idea to describe your use case. Does the user clicks on an item in the ListView and you want that item to appear more detailed somewhere else?

Nice! Happy coding!
