Easy question...How to use setProperty to set text alignment?

WalterWhite

I have this in my code:
QObject *pObject = pRootObject->findChild<QObject *>("MyTextItem");
pObject->setProperty("horizontalAlignment", "Text.AlignLeft");

But when I execute the code, the qml text does not change alignment from Center to Left

QML has this:
Text {
id: primaryText1
objectName: "MyTextItem"
x: 8
y: 5
width: 309
height: 25
text: qsTr("Hello!")
horizontalAlignment: Text.AlignHCenter
}

any ideas? Thanks!

Use this:

pObject->setProperty("horizontalAlignment", Qt::AlignLeft);

Qt::AlignLeft

well if that isn't a duh moment.
yup. that was it. :)
I figured since "true" or "false" works, why shouldn't the text form of alignment.

Thank you!
