[Moved] QML and grouped properties

[DenisKormalev]

I have next code to imitate grouped properties in Style.qml:
@
QtObject {
property QtObject color: QtObject {
property QtObject background: QtObject {
property string main: "black"
}
}
@
In another qml I have:
@
//...
Style {
id: style
}
//...
@

Things like
@
Rectangle { color = style.color.background.main }
@
works ok, but there is no completion for them in QtCreator.
Maybe someone knows another way to imitate grouped property? Or it is the only way and I should move it to Tools forum with question about autocompletion in QtCreator :)

one question ?
Does the QML code to be run in qmlviewer or in Qt creator ?

[DenisKormalev]

qtrahul, how your question is related to this topic? And also what do you mean by "run in QtCreator"?

[qtrahul]

Where do we run(compile) QML code.
qmlviewer or in Qt creator ?

[DenisKormalev]

I didn't understand how it is related to post.
QML code can be run either in qmlviewer or inside your C++ app (wrapper made by QtCreator is actually generated C++ app).

Just to add that QML code is never compiled.

bq. A QML component is a template that is interpreted by the QML runtime.

Your approach seems fine to me -- I'd suggest asking in the Tools forum (or lodging a suggestion on http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com if there isn't one already).

Denis:
Would you mind expanding your example so we all can learn from it?

[DenisKormalev]

fcrochik, I'll do it later.
