[Solved] Column with border

[ephe]

Is it possible to create a border around a Column element?
I have tried to create a Rectangle around it:
@
Rectangle
{
color: "blue"
radius: 5
border.color: "black"
border.width: 5

Column
{
    id: column

    anchors.fill: parent
    anchors.margins: 10
    ...
}

}
@

But the rectangle is not visible. Maybe I'm missing a property?
Neither the background nor the border is visible.

Cannot see why that would not work. In fact, the following works just fine for me:
@
import QtQuick 1.0

Rectangle {
width: 100
height: 100

color: "blue"
radius: 5
border.color: "black"
border.width: 5

Column {
    anchors.fill: parent
    anchors.margins: 10

    Text { text: "Hello" }
    Text { text: "World" }
}

}

You must set width and height or anchors for Rectangle element.

Thank you, I have set the height and width to the column.height and column.width. But this doesn't work. (Also anchors.fill: column) does not work.
Do I always have to set these properties statically?

edit: it is working now!

@
Rectangle
{
id: rectangle
color: "#f3f3f3"
radius: 5
border.color: "#5e5b5b"
border.width: 2
width: 640;

Column
{
    id: column
    objectName: "column"

    anchors.margins: 1
    anchors.left: parent.left
    anchors.right: parent.right
    rectangle.height = height
    ...
}

}

You don't have to set them statically, but they must be bound to something that eventually evaluates to real values. Using the column width and height creates a circular dependency that will never evaluate to a real value.

I think that this was my problem. I've edited my previous post, which now contains the code which was working for me.
Thank you all for your help!
