Connections to attached signal

[pavelvasev]

I have some object:
@MyWindow {
id: mainwindow
}@

and want to catch it's Component.onCompleted in some other place. I do it like this:

@Connections {
target: mainwindow
Component.onCompleted: console.log("got it");
}@

However, instead of catching onCompleted of my target object, I get onCompleted of Connections object itself.

Please help me to understand, how can I achieve my goal to get onCompleted signal of target object?

Thanks a lot!

Hi, and welcome to the Qt Dev Net!

I don't know how to connect to an attached signal externally, but you could implement a custom signal in mainWindow and emit that when the window is completed.

Dear JKSH!

Thanks for your advice! I did the same for now and it works.

I develop some application framework, and it is good for me to catch this signal directly, because in other way I have to ask users to implement that custom signal.

In my situation, we control the base object, "MyWindow". So I put that custom signal there. It looks almost same as onCompleted in MyWindow user's descendant.
