open new window on button click

leon missoul

It's a really simple, maybe stupid question, but I've been looking for this all day without success.

I have a main window (main.qml) with a button. When this button is clicked I want to open a new window (window2.qml). I want to do this using the 'onClicked:' component, and found online, to open a window, I can use 'show()', but I have not been successful in combining these two.

I'm new to this, would love every answer :)

Thanks in advance.

Something like this should work:

Button {
  text: "Open window"
  onClicked: window2.show()
}

// You need to rename window2.qml to Window2.qml
Window2 {
  id: window2
  visible: false
}

Or you can use Loader to defer loading of the second window's QML code.

//*** help button
        Button{
            id: helpButton
            height: hButton
            text: qsTr("Help")
            onClicked:{
                var component = Qt.createComponent("HelpForm.qml")
                var window    = component.createObject()
                window.show()
            }
        }

I hope this can help you ....
