<![CDATA[Item and QQuickItem relation]]>Hi All,

In Qt Document, it's mentioned that Item instantiates QQuickItem class. That means Item is an object created from QQuickItem class.

My Question is,
-> If Item is an object of QQuickItem, why does Item has properties such as anchors , whereas QQuickItem does not ?

My understanding is, since Item is an object of QQuickItem, Item should have only properties available in QQuickItem.

Please help me understand, what i am missing ...

Thanks in advance

See the code: https://code.woboq.org/qt5/qtdeclarative/src/quick/items/qquickitem.h.html#121 So, anchors are there in QQuickItem class, you just don't see them in docs.

In practice this is something you don't need to worry about at all - QML engine handles it seamlessly.
