Qt5 - Calling setContextProperty() with a QList<MyObject*>

koopajah

Hey everyone!

I based my code on the examples found in the documentation of Qt Quick 2.0 to provide data to a ListModel in my QML dynamically from C++ (Found in "examples/quick/models/objectlistmodel").

MyModel.h:

@class MyObject: public QObject
{
Q_OBJECT

Q_PROPERTY(QString name READ name WRITE setName NOTIFY nameChanged)

public:
MyObject(QObject *parent=0);
~MyObject();

QString name() const;
void setName(const QString &name);

QString deviceName;

Q_SIGNALS:
void nameChanged();
};
@

QML file:

@
import QtQuick 2.0

ListView {
width: 100; height: 100

model: myModel
delegate: Rectangle {
    height: 25
    width: 100
    Text { text: name }
}

}
@

In my Main.cpp I now create a QList<QObject *> that I fill with some instances of MyModel and it works:

@
QList<QObject *> listElems;
listElems.append(new MyModel());
listElems.append(new MyModel());

QQmlContext *ctxt = view->rootContext();
ctxt->setContextProperty("myModel",QVariant::fromValue(listElems));
@

But if instead of using a QList<QObject *> I use a QList<MyModel *> then I get errors when loading the QML indicating that the property name is not defined:

bq. qrc:view.qml:10: ReferenceError: name is not defined

I tried using qRegisterMetaType<T>() and qmlRegisterType<T>() without success. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!
