How to access property alias

Circuits

There is a variable declared in this QML file and I was wondering if I will have access to it from another QML file? The variable is declared as property alias:

property alias displayValue: currentValue.text

is it possible to access this variable from any other QML file? I tried saying:

 property string inputValue: InputField.currentValue.text

InputField turns green when I call it like this so I think it's recognizing the correct QML file but it's not working:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'text' of undefined

Access it like follows.

InputField.displayValue

@dheerendra For some reason it is telling me the value is undefined:

Unable to assign [undefined] to QString

What is InputField ?

@dheerendra InputField is the name of the QML file which creates the instance of this keyboard. It is also the id of this AbstractInputField within the script:

id: inputField
    property alias displayValue: currentValue.text
    property alias placeholderText: currentValue.placeholderText
    property alias validator: editingValue.validator
    property int horizontalAlignment: TextInput.AlignLeft
    property bool doSelection: true
    readonly property alias isEditing: editingValue.visible

    signal accepted(string value)
    height: style.height

    implicitWidth: editingValue.implicitWidth
    implicitHeight: editingValue.implicitHeight

    QQC2.TextField {
        id: currentValue
        anchors.fill: parent
        background: Rectangle{
            anchors.fill: parent
            radius: inputField.style.radius
            border.width: inputField.style.fieldOutlineSize
            border.color: inputField.style.fieldOutlineColor
        }

        readOnly: true
        horizontalAlignment: inputField.horizontalAlignment
        visible: !(editingValue.activeFocus)
        font: inputField.style.font.font
        color: inputField.readOnly ? inputField.style.readOnlyFontColor : inputField.style.inputFontColor

        MouseArea {
            anchors.fill: parent
            onClicked: {
                if (!inputField.readOnly)
                    editingValue.forceActiveFocus()
            }
        }
    }

    QQC2.TextField {
        id: editingValue
        focus: true
        height: inputField.style.height
        visible: activeFocus
        horizontalAlignment: inputField.horizontalAlignment
        onAccepted: {
            inputField.accepted(text)
            keyboardPanel.target = null
            currentValue.forceActiveFocus()
        }

        onActiveFocusChanged: {
            if (activeFocus) {
                text = currentValue.text
                if (doSelection)
                    selectAll()
                keyboardPanel.target = ( presentationManager.guiSettingsPresenter.model.virtualKeyboardEnabled
                                         ? inputField
                                         : null )
            } else {
                inputField.accepted(text)
                keyboardPanel.target = null
            }
        }
    }

    function cancel() {
        keyboardPanel.target = null
        currentValue.forceActiveFocus()
    }
}

I really just need access to the displayValue outside of InputField. Perhaps I could do that with signals?
