Did you try the "relevant documentation":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/doc/qt-4.7/qml-extending.html ?

How to pass a value or string from QML to CPP.
It is like, when i clicked the MouseArea from QML it will send a number/string to cpp. And cpp will do some calculation.

Please Help.[/quote]

Please post it in a single section and "avoid":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/7325 multiple posts.

this "avoid" path does not exist.

The link Andre posted has all the required information and has sample code also :).

Basically you create a QObject derived class with a QML callable function ( By placing Q_INVOKABLE before it), and then create an instance of that class inside your c++ code and make the created object available in qml by exporting it with QDeclarativeContext::setContextProperty, and call qml invokable function from QML side when you want to pass data

Example :
C++ Code
@
QmlApplicationViewer viewer;
YourQmlObject qmlobject(&viewer);
QDeclarativeContext * context = viewer.rootContext();
context->setContextProperty("qmlobject",&basicCalc);
@

qml side
@
qmlobject.callFunction("stringyouwanttopass");
@

callFunction is declared and defined in your YourQmlObject class and YourQmlObject is a QObject derived class.

Declaration of callFunction is

@Q_INVOKABLE void callFunction(QString str);@

what are the codes inside the class YourQmlObject?

i think thats what i need but i cant use it well..

Ok.. I would suggest you to visit page
http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Introduction_to_Qt_Quick_for_Cpp_developers

and then search for "Calling C++ methods from QML", you will get the answer you are looking for :)

You can copy/paste the code here... others can also have a look and advise you something :) or

you can send the code to my mail id by selecting "Send mail" link in my profile page.

mousearea>clicked>pass an integer=5>store it in CPP>compute etc... >display in QML.. like that..
