4. Invalid property name "states" (M16).

Invalid property name "states" (M16).


  • Quite new to Qt5 programming I tried getting some feeling for QML and Qt Quick by following one of the embedded tutorials in Qt Creator on the subject.
    But when asked to add states in QMLDesigner by clicking the "+" sign I instantly got the error message "Invalid property name "states" (M16)." and no states are added. So I effectively cannot use QtQuick. I tried adding them manually to the QML file itself, but then they dont show up in de designer either.
    What am I doing wrong if anything?

    Windows 10 - Qt Creator 4.13.0 - Qt 5.15.0 - building for MSVC 19 64 bit.

  • Solved. I already found that I was using a Window type which indeed does not have a "states" property.
    Would have liked another message to tell me that though.
