Using a marketplace project in a Qt 5.15 application

Creaperdown

Hey, I want to use a TreeView in my Qt 5.15 qml project. Multiple people have recommended me not to use the integrated one and recommended this one https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt-extensions/qttreeview.git/tree/?h=6.1. How exactly would I be able to integrate this into my project, I've never worked with this kind of packages before, do I need to link something or add it to my CMakeLists.txt file?

Thanks for any help in advance.

EDIT: I need to build it with cmake

Hi,

Check the example. You have both a .pro file and a CMakeLists.txt.

From the looks of it, this module integrates directly in QtQuick so nothing really particular to do on that front.

@SGaist Thanks for the reply! Does this also work with cmake? I've seen a notion somewhere that it only works with qmake for projects using Qt 5

Well, if you take a look at the examples of the module, you'll see that both .pro files and CMakeLists.txt are provided.

@SGaist But it also says that for versions < Qt 6 one should use the .pro file. Is there a workaround for that or can I somehow build the .pro from my top-level cmake file?

SGaist

What do you want to build exactly ?

@SGaist I want to have a working TreeView in my Qt 5.15.7 qml project which is built with cmake

Then why don't you just build and install that module and then use it in your project as the README.md shows you ?
