Unsolved Custom type reference fails with <customControl> is not a type. Why?
-
Hi all. New to Qt Quick and QML. Following a tutorial in a book, but it's failing and I don't know why.
I have two QML files...
MyToolbar.qml:
import QtQuick 2.12 Rectangle { color: "gray" height: 50 Rectangle { id: purpleRectangle width: 50; height: parent.height color: "purple" radius: 10 } Text { anchors.left: purpleRectangle.right anchors.right: parent.right text: "hello there." font.pointSize: 30 } }
and then main.qml
import QtQuick 2.12 import QtQuick.Window 2.12 import QtQuick.Layouts 1.12 Window { visible: true width: 640; height: 480 Rectangle { width: 200; height: 200 color: "red" } MyToolbar { id: myToolbar width: parent.width } RowLayout { anchors.top: myToolbar.bottom anchors.left: parent.left anchors.right: parent.right anchors.bottom: parent.bottom } }
Both files are in the project file. This fails with
W libgallery-mobile.so: QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component W libgallery-mobile.so: qrc:/main.qml:16 MyToolbar is not a type
I don't see anything missing from what the book shows. Any ideas? Thanks!
Additional note: This looks a bit suspicious, with MyToolbar.qml not under Resources. But I don't know how this folder is populated:

@Nifiro Thanks for the reply. I had tried that at the Resources level, but got a blanket "Couldn't add..." error with no explanation. Also tried dragging, which doesn't work.
Any idea why Qt Creator lets you create QML files and then adds them to a "QML" folder but not to the resources?
