[Solved] Access QML Singleton object from C++ code

[benlau]

Hi,

I would like to access a Singleton QML object declared via qmldir from C++ code. Is it possible? I have tried to search the children of root object from QQmlApplicationEngine but seem that singleton object is not its children .

Thanks for any advise.

Hi @benlau, Probably something like this:

//QML : main.qml
property QtObject obj: MySingleTonObject // assuming MySingleTonObject is the singleton exposed through qmldir

//C++ 
QQmlApplicationEngine engine;
engine.load(QUrl(QStringLiteral("qrc:///main.qml")));
QObject *obj = qvariant_cast<QObject *>(engine.rootObjects().first()->property("obj"));
