Creating a QAbstractItemModel plugin object from QML?
-
I have written a C++ plug-in which defines a data model derived from QAbstractListModel. My QML code is successfully loading the plugin; that part of the code actually works...
The documentation suggests that it is possible to define the model class in C++, export it via the plugin interface, then actually create the model and populate it from the QML side.
I have the following QML code:
@import QtQuick 1.0
import MyModelPlugin 1.0ListView {
id: list
width: 640; height: 480;
model: MyListModel {
ListElement {source: "element 1";}
ListElement {source: "element 2";}
}
delegate: Text { text: source; }
}@When I run this, however, I receive:
@file:///home/gordons/build/testapp/Debug/qml/testapp/main.qml:8:8: Cannot assign to non-existent default property
ListElement {source: "element 1";}
^@I believe this is what the documentation indicates I should be doing; has anyone managed to make this work?

Hi,
If you haven't seen it yet, I'd suggest looking at http://doc.trolltech.com/4.7-snapshot/qdeclarativemodels.html for more information/examples on using C++ models from QML.
It currently isn't possible to populate a QAbstractItemModel from QML out-of-the-box -- you'll need to add your own custom methods/properties to support that (ListElement only works with ListModel).

I got it working, actually - it was several arcane bits which all needed to be used together. I'll put the solution up on a wiki page or some such once I get it into order. (And yes, it even works with ListElement!)
