How to get ListModel from QML to a C++ class?

Qnoobish

Hello,

Just as my title says is there a way to send a ListModel filled in QML to a C++ class.

I've been using some C++ bindings and Q_PROPERTY to try to achieve this but with no success.

Hopefully there is some example on how to do this.

Thanks in advance :O

It is a no no, you need to create your model in C++ and keep it there and only interface it to QML. You could pull the data one element at a time, but the proper way to go is use a C++ model to begin with.

There is nothing inherently wrong with it.
You should be able to create a property that takes a QObject* and dynamic_cast it to QAbstractItemModel*.

That is the trick when doing the other way around. When you create a model from C++ to use in QML, your function/method should return QObject*, it will not work with any of the QAbstract*Model classes that I have tried.
