Displaying QT widgets in QML

outdoor_guy

Hi

I have the problem to have some old QT-widget-style applications, which should be wrapped by QML.
Currently the old Main-Class I have to call is the following:
@
class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
{
Q_OBJECT

public:
explicit MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0);@

I registered that one the following way

@qmlRegisterType<MainWindow>("Umbenennung",1,0,"Umbenennen");@

The I made a QML-File in the following way

@import Qt 4.7
import Umbenennung 1.0

Umbenennen
{

}@

When I call this one, the old HMI is displayed

However, if I start to do something like this:
@import Qt 4.7
import Umbenennung 1.0

Item
{
id: tester

Umbenennen
{

}

}

@

the program crashes. The constructor of MainWindow was allready finished.

Is there a way to wrap such kind of code inside QML without making changes on the old code?
Or is there an other way to call such programs?

This was the callstack of the crash:

Maybe because your widget gets a QDeclarativeItem as parent witch is not a QWidget's child.

Sorry, I do not get it. Can you give me some more information what you mean.
Maybe I had to mention that I'm a beginner in QT

I don't think you can simply use QWidgets as components in QML as you try to do. Components need to be QDeclarativeItem subclasses, and yours is not, it seems.

Edit: PS, it is Qt (Uppercast Q, lowercast t), not QT. QT is QuickTime.
