Component onCompleted confusion?

[fcarney]

You can do this:

Component.onCompleted: {blah blah}

But you cannot do this:

Component {
    id: blah
    onCompleted: {
        blah blah
    }
    Item {
    }
}

The second version will come back with:

"qrc:/CellList.qml:73 Component elements may not contain properties other than id\n"

Instead I need to put a Component.onCompleted inside the Item inside the Component.

onCompleted and onDestruction are attached signals, not owned by Component. Also Component is not an QML element and do not acts like other one.

@fcarney hi
there might be little confusion because when you create a reusable QML file it is called a qml component, and there is also a QML type called Component

this can clyrify everything

onCompleted is for the object Creation signal. As suggested by @LeLev you are creating the re-usable component. Move your onCompleted inside the Item object.
