I fixed the issue by dropping the source string from the .metainfo files.

For anyone that cares I was following these instructions: http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-qml-modules-with-plugins.html and on step 5 I picked a random metainfo file when I searched the Qt folder for .metainfo, not the one they specifically chose (qtcharts.metainfo vs qtquickcontrols2.metainfo)

The qtcharts one was probably for some other type of module use where specifying the source does something I don't need, the qtquickcontrols2 ended up having the syntax I really wanted in the end. Eventually I found this example and found out dropping the source worked: https://forum.qt.io/topic/56207/how-to-load-custom-qml-controls-into-the-qml-designer

It will be in the future when you'll build Qt again.

@nils90 ok I reinstalled Qt and now it works. I must have forgotten to install one plugin during the installation

No you don't, again, just check what the LGPL license requires and conform to it, then you'll be good.

Hi @CharlieG
AFAIK that is not possible from QML. But you can try checking for errors by loading the QML from C++ side. For eg. if you use QQmlComponent you can check for errors using errors.

im using qt 5.9 on mac this piece of code worked like charm for me

brew install mysql-connector-c

Hi,

QT_NO_PRINTER is (or not) defined when compiling Qt, not when loading or not a module.
One thing you could is the qtHaveModule() function in your pro file and create the defines you need there.

Hope it helps

Hi and welcome to devnet,

The QtExtended module is 6 years old and IIRC it was Qtopia before that, this module has been discontinued and some of it's element integrated in Qt. However I don't think the VPN code was part of that integration.

Indeed, QtCreator seems to ignore the "prototype" member in .qmltypes because the file is generated correctly.

@JKSH No problem; glad to contribute, albeit on such a tiny scale.

Hahah, yea, but for now it's just more comfortable, should I run into issues, I'll have it in mind.
I have kinda good control over my computer :-P

Thanks to everyone.

It's not the default. However, that option doesn't disable a module, it disable the use of OpenGL globally. You have to rebuild Qt.
