Multiple UI windows??

[texasRanger]

Hello,

I have a project that has two UI forms (something.ui.qml) that display a certain amount of data. Both of the UI's get their data from a C++ backend. When the project is ran I want each of the UI forms to display their data in seperate windows, so two different windows. I'm wondering the best way to go about this?

hi @texasRanger

I'm not an expert with .ui forms in qml, but have you tried to simply change the root element to Window which should make it a modal(separate) window by default

[texasRanger]

@J-Hilk Yeah... However, the Window type isn't supported as a root element.

Have 2 Window objects and put your UI forms in them

@GrecKo I tried that as well, but no windows appear when doing that. Is this what you meant?

Item {
    Window {
        objectName: "wnd1"
        visible: true
        width: 400
        height: 400
        FirstForm {
        }
    }

    Window {
        objectName: "wnd2"
        visible: true
        width: 400
        height: 400
        SecondForm {
        }
    }
}

For some reason it does not work when in an Item, it works with a QtObject though:

QtObject {
    property Window win1: Window {
        objectName: "wnd1"
        visible: true
        width: 400
        height: 400
    }

    property Window win2: Window {
        objectName: "wnd2"
        visible: true
        width: 400
        height: 400
    }
}

@GrecKo When I format it like that the windows pop up, but they are blank. They do not display the actual UI formatting...

//main.qml
QtObject {
    property Window window1: Window
     {
        objectName: "wnd1"
        visible: true
        width: 700
        height: 700
        title: qsTr("window1")
    }


    property Window window2: Window
     {
        objectName: "wnd2"
        visible: true
        width: 450
        height: 600
        title: qsTr("window2")

    }
}

//FirstForm

window1 {
//UI formating
}

//SecondForm

window2 {
//UI formating
}

The solution in this post is unnecessarily complicated.

In your question about them being blank I don't understand what you are doing

//main.qml
QtObject {
    property Window window1: Window  {
        visible: true
        // ...
    }
}

//FirstForm
window1 {
    //UI formating
}

How are those two related?

Why not do this?

//main.qml
QtObject {
    property Window window1: Window  {
        visible: true
        // ...
        FirstForm {
            anchors.fill: parent
        }
    }
}
