Setting property not setting the value

Nando

Hi,
i have something like this

RowLayout {
    MyButton {
        id: b1
        visible: false
    }
    MyButton {
        id: b2
        visible: false
    }
// ...
}

then in a javascript function i set the 'visible' property and directly log it out and it is not changed, why?

function test() {
    let newValue = true
    console.debug("newValue: ", newValue) // prints true -> correct
    b1.visible = newValue
    console.debug("newValue: ", b1.visible) // prints false -> wrong! why?
}

It seems when setting the visible property and then getting it is not set?
Maybe somebody can explain me what's going on here, please ?

Greetings
Nando

Why is there a dot behind both of your debug calls?

Apart from that - it should work, your code seems correct to me.

I had a similar issue last week setting x and y on a Popup. I posted a question in the forum (see here) but no-one answered.

If this is known and expected behaviour, it really ought to be documented and explained more prominently somewhere. If it's not expected, what is going on?

That dot is type, sorry....
Hmmm Okay i have MyButton inside a Layout...Maybe
the layout somehow overwrites the visible ?

@Nando I tried this same code using rectangle, Test() is absolutely fine and it also not because of Layout
