Unsolved Composing QML objects from different files: Accessing functions in parent
-
Hi,
Lets assume I have a file Plot.qml and files PlotOverlayA.qml and PlotOverlayB.qml. I don't want to move PlotOverlayA into Plot.qml as it is only needed in some circumstances and my Plot.qml file would get quite bloated if I moved every component there.
If I use my plot component, I would like to do something like
Plot { PlotOverlayA { } }
Plot.qml has a signal
update
and I would like to connect to this signal in PlotOverlayA.qml. If I receive this signal in PlotOverlayA, it should bexecute a function defined in Plot.qml (like getXCoordinates). However, I don't know how I can access the functions of Plot.qml. -
Maybe I don't understand, if you connect signal
update
inPlot
with function in in the same file it doesn't enough? You can also connect signal from Plot with something inPlotOverlayA

What I am trying to do is to create a flexible and reusable plot component. I would like to keep the interface (the properties of Plot.qml) small, and hope that this is achievable via "extending" the Plot component e.g. with a PlotOverlay as shown above. So PlotOverlay should be seen as tightliy coupled to plot. I will try with the id

Do you mean "emit the signal" in here?
are the PlotOverlayA only children item of Plot?
