Can I dynamically add a MapGroup to a Map?

[A Former User]

I have managed to dynamically add MapImages to a map but fail to add MapGroups. Is there something I am missing ?

the javascript code used to add the component is the following :

@var component = Qt.createComponent("Station.qml");
for(var i=0;i<stationsXMLModel.count;i++){
var object = component.createObject(mapview, {
"latitude": stationsXMLModel.get(i).latitude,
"longitude": stationsXMLModel.get(i).longitude,
"number":stationsXMLModel.get(i).number});
if (object.status == Component.Ready) {
stationsArray.push(object);
}
if (object.status == Component.Error) {
console.log("Error: " + component.errorString());
}
}@

When "Station.qml" contains a MapImage (see below), everything works as expected

@MapImage {
source: "images/station.png"
property alias latitude: mapMarkerCoordinate.latitude
property alias longitude: mapMarkerCoordinate.longitude
property int number
coordinate: Coordinate { id: mapMarkerCoordinate }
offset.x: -24
offset.y: -48
}@

But if it is a MapGroup (see below), "object.status" reads "undefined".

@MapGroup {
property alias latitude: mapMarkerCoordinate.latitude
property alias longitude: mapMarkerCoordinate.longitude
property int number

MapImage{
source:  "images/station.png"
coordinate: Coordinate { id: mapMarkerCoordinate }
offset.x: -24
offset.y: -48
}

}@

What am Missing ? Is there any restriction on the type of QML that can be loaded dynamically ?

Thanks for your help,

After calling Qt.createComponent, can you console.log(component.errorString()) to ensure that it was compiled correctly? I don't know much/anything about the location/maps module, so I don't know what specifically could be wrong.

/edit: presumably MapImage has a "status" property, while the MapGroup element does not? I'm not sure.

Thanks for your reply.

The component.errorString() unfortunately reports an empty string.

Any hint ?
