Creating an Alias for a QML Type Member

[medelson]

I was wanting to create a Button Component with a fixed background and a variable label. Something like:
@
Button {
property alias buttonLabel: styleLabel.label
style: ButtonStyle {
id: styleLabel
label: Row { }
background: Rectangle { ... }
}
}
@

Is it possible to create a property alias for "label"? I can't seem to find the correct syntax to do this. Thanks!

You probably need to make alias for Row's id or something inside Row

What is the issue you are facing. What you are using the correct syntax.

bq. Is it possible to create a property alias for “label”?

I guess it won't work as the Component which it refers to would not have been initiated.
If your purpose is to dynamically change the label's component you can create a property Component and the assign it a Component when you call it.
eg:
@
MyButton.qml

Item {
property Component myComp
Button {
style: ButtonStyle {
id: styleLabel
label: myComp
background: Rectangle { ... }
}
}
}

Main.qml

MyButton {
myComp: Qt.createComponent("labelDelegate1.qml")
}

MyButton {
myComp: Qt.createComponent("labelDelegate2.qml")
}

Hope this helps...
