Component as parameter of a signal or function

[antonio]

How can I pass my own Component as a parameter in a signal or a function? or how can I define my own type that can be recognized by QtQuick?

This is MyItem.qml:

@import QtQuick 1.0

Item{
property int index
property int type
property string text
}@

and this is my signal signature:

@signal sendData(MyItem myItem)@

I have tried, but it doesn't works

Thanks

Not sure what the correct answer is, but you may be able to use a variant in your signal signature.

@
Rectangle {
height: 600
width: 800
MouseArea {
signal fire(variant item)

anchors.fill: parent
onClicked: {
  console.log("pressed")
  var component = Qt.createComponent("MyItem.qml")
  var object = component.createObject(parent, {'name':'bob'})
  fire(object)
}

onFire: {
  console.log('fired ' + item.name)
}

}
}
@

where MyItem.qml is

@
import QtQuick 1.0

Item {
property string name
}
@
