[Solved] Receiving signals from QML to C++

MyClass::MyClass()

i copied these snappets from the official reference and adapted them. the errors are:
..\MyClass\main.cpp: In function 'int qMain(int, char**)':
..\MyClass\main.cpp:10: error: cannot convert 'QGraphicsObject*' to 'QObject*' in initialization
..\MyClass\main.cpp:13: error: 'QObject' is an inaccessible base of 'MyClass'

[lgeyer]

Line 7 of MyClass.h has to read
@
class MyClass : public QObject
@

MyClass should have a constructor which calls the base constructor
@
MyClass::MyClass() : QObject() {}
@

Try to cast QGraphicsObject to QObject and do not forget to include required headers:

@
#include <QDeclarativeView>
@

Also please check the implementation of MyClass.

[DenisKormalev]

leon.anavi, QDeclarativeView is already included bu qmlapplicationviewer.h (not usre why it is included in main.cpp btw). QGraphicsObject should be included in this case.

[spode]

@ #include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include "qmlapplicationviewer.h"
#include "myclass.h"
#include <QGraphicsObject>
#include <QDeclarativeContext>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);

QDeclarativeView view(QUrl::fromLocalFile("qml/MyClass/main.qml"));
MyClass myClass;
view.rootContext()->setContextProperty("myObject", &myClass); //myObject sarà associato (in QML) alla classe MyClass

view.show();

return app.exec();

}
@
now,errors are:
..\MyClass\main.cpp:14: error: 'QObject' is an inaccessible base of 'MyClass'

[spode]

thank you a lot. it is 0k! =)

[spode]

this time, why can not i call leggimi()?
@ #include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include "qmlapplicationviewer.h"
#include "funzioni.h"
#include <QDeclarativeContext>
#include <QGraphicsObject>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);

QmlApplicationViewer viewer;
viewer.setOrientation(QmlApplicationViewer::ScreenOrientationAuto);
viewer.setMainQmlFile(QLatin1String("qml/fileTrenner2/main.qml"));
viewer.showExpanded();
viewer.setWindowTitle("File Trenner");
viewer.move(600,20);

Funzioni funz;
QDeclarativeView view(QUrl::fromLocalFile("qml/fileTrenner2/main.qml"));
view.rootContext()->setContextProperty("myObject", &funz);

return app.exec();

}
@

@ //funzioni.cpp
#include "funzioni.h"

Funzioni::Funzioni()
{

}

void Funzioni::leggimi()
{
QDeclarativeView view(QUrl::fromLocalFile("qml/fileTrenner2/messaggioLeggimi.qml"));
view.show();
}
@

@ //funzioni.h
#ifndef FUNZIONI_H
#define FUNZIONI_H
#include <QObject>
#include <QDeclarativeView>
#include <QDeclarativeContext>

class Funzioni : public QObject
{
Q_OBJECT

public:
Funzioni();
int caratteriAriga;

public slots:
void leggimi();

};

#endif // FUNZIONI_H
@

i proved to call leggimi in main.qml by using "Image { width: 100; height: 101 MouseArea { anchors.fill:parent; onClicked: myObject.leggimi() } }". error: qml/fileTrenner2/main.qml:416: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: myObject. whY?

[lgeyer]

I see two problems here.

• At first, your QML file is processed before the context property is added.
  @
  QDeclarativeView view(QUrl::fromLocalFile("qml/fileTrenner2/main.qml"));
  view.rootContext()->setContextProperty("myObject", &funz);
  @ should probably read
  @
  QDeclarativeView view;
  view.rootContext()->setContextProperty("myObject", &funz);
  view.setSource(QUrl::fromLocalFile("qml/fileTrenner2/main.qml"));
  @

• At second, you add the context property to the root context of view (the QDeclarativeView) and not viewer (the QmlApplicationViewer, which is in fact just a wrapper around another QDeclarativeView). view is actually never shown, the corresponding code can be removed completely.

[spode]

bq. QDeclarativeView view;
view.rootContext()->setContextProperty("myObject", &funz);
view.setSource(QUrl::fromLocalFile("qml/fileTrenner2/main.qml"));

thank you. you were very clear, but i do not understand why do you declare the QDeclarativeView making save to explain immediatly the file toward which methods will be applied. i mean: where is the conceptual or tecnical difference between the two snippets?

i will use the QDeclarativeView.

[loladiro]

The qml is being processed as soon as you call setSource (whether directly or indirectly through the constructor). From the documentation:
[quote]
source : QUrl
This property holds the URL of the source of the QML component.
Changing this property causes the QML component to be reloaded.
[/quote]
Therefore, you have to add any special object and context variables before you use setSource. Otherwise they will not be present when (re)loading the qml. Does that make sense to you now?

[spode]

this is an excellent answer! ;)

[spode]

ideas for closing the program?

[lgeyer]

If you want to close your program from QML use Qt.quit().

[spode]

error: Signal QDeclarativeEngine::quit() emitted, but no receivers connected to handle it.

[lgeyer]

You have to connect the QDeclarativeEngine::quit() signal to the QApplication::quit() slot.
@
connect(view->engine(), SIGNAL(quit()), QCoreApplication::instance(), SLOT(quit()));
@

Don't forget to add "[Solved]" to topic titles which have been solved for you.

[OFFTOPIC]
I would kindly like to propose to change the word "Reciving" in the title of the thread to "Receiving". :-)
[/OFFTOPIC]

[spode]

so, that was made!
how to choose the solver in this thread?

Um... what?
