List property and dynamic objects

[Kxyu]

Hi! I've got a question about dynamic object creation. So, my goal is to create some dynamic objects and store them in a property like @property list<Item> items@
but when i try to assign something to it, it has no effect! @items[0]=myComponent.createObject(someObject)@
is there a way do it (to append something to the list)?

Are you using QtQuick 1.x or QtQuick 2.0? With QtQuick 2 you can use a "var" property to store an array of items which can be dynamically added to etc. ListReference properties are generally intended to be lightweight and "static", I believe.

/edit: turns out that you can do:

@
property list<Item> il
Component.onCompleted: {
// define array
var someItemArray = [];

   // push c1
   for (var i = 0; i < il.length; ++i)
       someItemArray.push(il[i]);
   someItemArray.push(c1);
   il = someItemArray;

   // push c2
   for (var i = 0; i < il.length; ++i)
       someItemArray.push(il[i]);
   someItemArray.push(c2);
   il = someItemArray;

   for (var i = 0; i < il.length; ++i) console.log("il[i] = " + il[i]);

}
