QML mousearea not working if QQmlApplication in different class

AQTStudent

Hello,
I'm trying to initialize QQmlApplication in a different class
Main file:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])    {
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    //QQmlApplicationEngine engine(QUrl("qrc:/main.qml"));

    DigitalClock clockie;
    return app.exec();
}

DigitalClock file:

DigitalClock::DigitalClock(QWidget *parent)
    : QWidget(parent)
{
    QTimer *timer2 = new QTimer(this);
    QObject::connect(timer2, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(showTimee()));
    timer2->start(10000);

    QQmlApplicationEngine engine(QUrl("qrc:/main.qml"));

    QQmlComponent component(&engine, QUrl("qrc:/main.qml"));
    QObject *object = component.create();
    timee = object->findChild<QObject*>("clockOnTop");
    qDebug() << component.errors();

}

Now my problem.
If I initialize the QQmlApplicationEngine in the DigitalClock file, no mouse events are working..
If I initiliaze the QQmlApplicationEngine in the main file, the mouse events are working.. however I'm having trouble editing parts of the qml file later, which I do in the digitalclock file..

Can anyone give me any advise?

Kind regards,
Jorrick Sleijster

Hi @AQTStudent
First what is your aim in adding QQmlApplicationEngine in QWidget ? Do you want to embed the QML in QWidget ?
Also why are you loading main.qml twice ?

I still had to remove the QWidget.. it's useless this way.
My error was that I can't have a QWidget class without a QQmlApplicationEngine.
