Id's that share names

[RobM]

Lets say I have the following code:

Item
{
  id: foo
  Rectangle
  {
    id: red
  }
}

Item
{
  id: bar
  Rectangle
  {
    id: red
  }
}

how is this shared id resolved? I am wondering if I can use the same id for in different places as it would be convenient for me but I don't want them to try to reference one another and I don't want to get the compiler confused. It seems as thought I am allowed to do it but perhaps I shouldn't?

so, why not simply rename the second id as 'red1' and crack on with what you were doing...?

@RobM if you're trying to reuse a Rectangle component over and over, you may want to take a look at the QML Camera example, to see how the buttons (Focus, Camera settings, Video control and so on) are created from a base CameraButton component.

If not, use common sense regarding id naming.
