QtQuickControls2 AbstractButton autoRepeat not working for me

[lynettar 0]

Hello,

I'm trying to make use of the autoRepeat feature of AbstractButton in 5.12.2. I am experimenting with the gallery example to test the function of auto repeat. I have modified the "First" button on ButtonPage.qml to make it autoRepeat with interval and delay set small. When I run this code I see no repeat of onPressed, onPressAndHold, or onClicked as evidenced by only one console.log statement. What am I missing? Here is the code that I have modified:

ScrollablePage {
    id: page

    Column {
        spacing: 40
        width: parent.width

        ColumnLayout {
            spacing: 20
            anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter

            Button {
                text: "First"
                Layout.fillWidth: true
                autoRepeat: true
//                autoRepeatDelay: 50
//                autoRepeatInterval: 50
                MouseArea {
                    anchors.fill: parent
                    onPressed: console.log ("First Button pressed");
                    onPressAndHold: console.log ("First Button press and hold");
                    onClicked: console.log ("first button clicked");
                    onReleased: console.log ("first button released");
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

hi @lynettar-0 and welcome

from what I can see, you're mixing stuff up. The Button qml- object already has a MouseArea and you set the auto repeat to true on that one.
But than you create a 2nd MouseArea that covers the whole button. that one has the autoRepeat not set to true (the default is off)

Oh my! I can't believe that I made such a bonehead mistake. Thank you! Commenting out the additional MouseArea did the trick!
