Find QML-Child Item in C++ Code (in Widgets-App)
-
I have a problem with an Widget-App, that uses a Qml-Barcode-Scan-App.
When I start the Qml-Barcode-Scan-App, I can find every child items:Client::Client(QObject* parent) : QObject(parent) , view(new QQuickView) , barcodeScannerViewModel(new BarcodeScannerViewModel) { qmlRegisterType<BarcodeVideoFilter>(".....barcodevideofilter", 1, 0, "BarcodeVideoFilter"); qmlRegisterType<BarcodeScannerViewModel>("......barcodescannerviewmodel", 1, 0, "BarcodeScannerViewModel"); /** Set datacontext for view: */ this->view->rootContext()->setContextProperty("viewmodel", this->barcodeScannerViewModel); this->view->setResizeMode(QQuickView::SizeRootObjectToView); this->view->setSource(QUrl("qrc:/Resources/barcodescanner.qml")); this->view->resize(800, 480); this->root = static_cast<QObject*>(view->rootObject()); auto textItem = this->root->findChild<QObject*>("qmlBarcodeText");and so on. That all works perfect!
But when I start the widget app and call this function to show the Barcode-Scanner, this->root can not be found and is null. Also other items can not be found by their object-name.
What can I do to found all qml items, when my widget app is running?
It runs on iOS 11
Qt Creator 4.6.2
Based on Qt 5.11.1 (Clang 8.0 (Apple), 64 bit)

From revision 1ddfb443b6Hi @peter-70
I don't understand what you mean. You are showing C++ code, the constructor of someClientclass which loads the QML bar code app, etc. And you write that everything works, including the access to the child elements within QML. Isn't that C++ code part of your widget app? -
This is definitely a confusing question. From what I'm reading it sounds like
view->setSource()is failing to load the QML component. That's whyview->rootObject()is returning nothing.Just a guess though, I'm as confused as @Diracsbracket.
