Unsolved files are automatically imported as objects?
-
I'm very new to QML and QtQuick, so I apologize if the following is a bad question. If the answers could be easily found in some documentation, please point me in that direction, thanks.
I am trying to change SDDM login on my Lubuntu OS. The appearance is managed by a file called "Main.qml", which imports QtQuick 2.0 and SddmComponents2.0. The code in this file references an object called "PictureBox", which doesn't seem to exist in QtQuick. I assume PictureBox object is created by "PictureBox.qml", part of SDDM components:
https://github.com/jhonwoo/sddm/tree/master/components/2.0PictureBox.qml only imports QtQuick2.0, but it uses another object I can't find in QtQuick called PasswordBox. So, can I assume that QML files located in the same directory can automatically import each other without explicit import statements?
Also, if I want to modify PictureBox object in any way, can I do this from Main.qml, or do I have to modify the PictureBox.qml file?
Thanks.

Yes.

You can modify properties of objects where you use them. So for example:
Item { x: 5 y: 20 }
x
andy
are properties defined in Item.qml, but you can manipulate them in your file. If you want to add a property, you can do it, too:Item { property int coord: 20 x: coord + 8 y: coord }
But if you want to do deeper modifications of item (like - remove a property), you need to do it in the source file.
