Prevent Listview from updating items

[patrikd]

Hi all,
is there a way to temporaly prevent the listview from updating the delegates?
I have two listviews, one for the landscape view and one for portrait. Within my
application this listviews can be resized. The delegates within those listviews
depend on how currently the listview is displayed. One listview is always visible
the other is hidden.
Problem is that also the hidden listview applies the resizing which causes in both
listviews the delegates to be updated which costs a lot of cpu :(
Is there a way to completely deactivate a listview?
Thx,
Patrik

Hi @patrikd,
You can keep a boolean property which will be updated as required. Use this as a condition for the model.

property bool updateNeeded: false
...
ListView {
   model: updateNeeded ? myModel : null
}

When the property updateNeeded is updated to true the binding will reevaluate and items should be populated.
