using QML Pages as items in main.qml

[MaximBozek]

Hi,

I used to be able to make my qml page, for example Can.qml. Then I would call this whole qml as a item in main.qml to be able to access variable created in main.qml in Can.qml:

Can  {
    id: can_page
    visible: false
}

Now for some reason, I get this error: qrc:/Test_Project_Display/main.qml:41:5: Can is not a type
How can I fix this?

Hi @MaximBozek,

This issue may be caused by Can.qml not being added to qml.qrc. When a new QML file is created, it should automatically be included in the resource file(qml.qrc). If it is missing, you may encounter the error: "Can is not a type".

<RCC>
<qresource prefix="/">
<file>main.qml</file>
<file>Can.qml</file>
</qresource>
</RCC>

Hi, sorry for replying so late, been busy with other projects in the mean time. My project has this strcuture:

there is no such qml.qrc file in my project. I tried putting a new .qml file in that same folder as main.qml, but this didn't work either.

@MaximBozek If there is no qrc file, create one and add qrc file to your project. Add all qml files into the qrc file.

you may need a few, for example, one for images, one for qml files and one for xml files, etc.
