Create a child instance of the current object

[qcoderpro]

Here below

import QtQuick
DocumentWindow {
    visible: true
}

is written: Notice that we do not provide a parent element when creating the new instance using createObject. This way, we create new top level elements. If we had provided the current document as parent to the next, the destruction of the parent window would lead to the destruction of the child windows.

The question is how to create the new instance to be a child of the current window?

@qcoderpro said in Create a child instance of the current object:

Negating this sentence will do what you want.
Do provide a parent element when creating the new instance using createObject.

I went for testing a couple of ways but ended up not knowing how to provide a parent element there.
When button new is clicked newDocument function is called:

function createNewDocument()
  {
      var component = Qt.createComponent("DocumentWindow.qml");
      var window = component.createObject();
      return window;
  }

  function newDocument()
  {
      var window = createNewDocument();
      window.show();
  }

Could you guide me.
