Add QQuickView to QWidget

[sikander243]

Hi Everyone
I want to add a custom list view to my existing UI project, I read this article, but I think it needs an update now.

http://doc.qt.digia.com/4.7-snapshot/qml-integration.html

I am getting following error if I do it with Qt 5.0 Qt Creator 2.6.1
error: C2664: 'QBoxLayout::addWidget' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'QQuickView' to 'QWidget *'
No user-defined-conversion operator available that can perform this conversion, or the operator cannot be called

any pointers how I would be able to perform this.

I am afraid this is somewhat complicated in Qt5 and not even possible in 5.0. The main reason is that QQuickView is no longer a widget but a QWindow. With 5.0 there is no simple solution, but in Qt 5.1 we have added a new function QWidget::createWindowContainer which you can use to embed a QQuickView in a QWidget layout like you are trying to do. For Qt 5.0 the only solution is to use the QQuick1 module and associative QDeclarativeView classes which you were using in Qt4.

QQuickView is child of QWindow(a top level window) and can't add to qwidget as before. See this:

well I switched to qt 4.8 and it seems to work nice now all I needed was to have a Custom List View ontop of my chatting application, and I have tested by putting in a qml object now shall be moving towards learning qml to build a custom listview.

thanks by the way how to mark this solved.

Very good solution. But i have a suggestion that, it will be nice if Qt team can provide a similar solution like QDeclarativeView.

ansifpi: QDeclarativeView in Qt Quick 1.x is already a widget so no need to embed in a window container there.
