[Solved] Error using states to change between pages

john_god

Hi
I'm tring to change between pages using states, in a small game. This is what I did:

main.qml:
@Rectangle {
id: root
......
PagePanel {
id: pagepanel
state: activeState
}
......
}@

PagePanel.qml:
@
Item {
id: root
width: 360
height: 420

property string activeState: "game"
states: [
    State {
        name: "menu"
        PropertyChanges {
            target: menuPage
            opacity: 1
            restoreEntryValues: true
        }
    },

    State {
        name: "game"
        PropertyChanges {
            target: gamePage
            opacity: 1
            restoreEntryValues: true
        }

    }

]


PageMenu {
    id: menuPage
    anchors.fill: parent
    opacity: 0
  //  onGameclick: root.activeState: "game"
}

PageGame {
    id: gamePage
    anchors.fill: parent
    opacity: 0
   // onSunClick2: root.activeState: "menu"
}

}@

The problem is if I uncomment lines 34 and 41, I get errors in main.qml line 4: @Type PagePanel unavailable
PagePanel {
^ @

and in lines 34 and 41 : @Expected token `;'
onGameclick: root.activeState: "game"
^ @

I very newbie in Qml, and I can't figure out to change states. I also don't know if this is the best approach, I read about pagestack wich perhaps would be another option ?

It's working :) , I changed

@onGameclick: root.activeState: "game"@

to

@onGameclick: root.activeState = "game"@

hello!
Good idea for container of many elements. this solve my problem.

but why you use custom property "activeState"? this property is excessively.
directly @onGameclick: root.state: "game"@ not working?

Hi oosavu
You are right I'm overcomplicating things. Using:

@onGameclick: root.state = "game"@

and in main.qml:

@PagePanel {
id: pagepanel
state: "menu"
}@

works fine.
Thank you
