Non-retangular shapes
-
There's a special widget in here: http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/EmbeddedWidgetDemos
Source code is at the top.
At the bottom of the page, look at Qt5WayWidget. I think you could modify it to a 4 way widget. It looks to be exactly what you want.Then you just need to put the class in to QML as a Type :).

Have you checked the Pie menu implementation in Qt solutions: http://doc.trolltech.com/qq/qq09-qt-solutions.html

Hope the next release of QML supports handling such irregular shapes.

Which you can link to QML with a plugin like this: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/declarative-tutorials-extending-chapter6-plugins.html
It's for PieChart but just as easily PieMenu.
This is what you'll need to do until there's proper support for arcs and so on.

Thanks for the tips! That's what I'm doing, creating c++ extensions to things I can't do in Qml. But I'm having serious problems in turning these extensions in plugins...

May be you can post the problems faced in the forums and someone might help you out.

You know how you need a qmlviewer C++ wrapper (well eventually)?
You can put plugin code in there. Then you don't need to compile it separate and worry about plugins. You can just run the app and the plugin will be compiled inside the wrapper.
The only downside is no auto complete in qml for that type. -
It's here: https://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/2103/ :)

Yes, that's what I'm doing actually...
But I wanted to create plugins to have a better organization between projects. Imagine 10 projects, all using a similar extension, if I wanted to change the extension, it would be MUCH easier if I had only one plugin to change and compile, get it?

Yes, as your project gets larger just move those classes out in to separate projects. Compile the plugin separately. List the plugin in your qmldir.
I just thought it'd help you get started if just included it in the wrapper. I had problems compiling plugins too. -
Well, I posted all my plugin code on the other thread.. Let's hope someone points out what is that stupid thing that I'm doing and how to fix it :P
Until that, I'm using c++ extensions like you said

Hi,
In the mean time; is there any improvement in supporting irregular shapes (and MouseAreas) in QtQuick?
I can't find them.....
