Solved Access lists from qml in c++

[saitej]

I have a list which are in a qml widget and the widget is called in the mainwindow.
Mainwindow snippet:

QQuickWidget *widget = new QQuickWidget;
widget->setSource(QUrl(QStringLiteral("qrc:/qml_maps/Viewer.qml")));

The lists can be accessed in Viewer.qml. How do I access it in a different c++ class.

Thanks!!

@saitej Use findChild to access the object containing the list by object name. Then cast it to QList

Ya I had tried this way already. I m not sure of the syntax

QQuickWidget *widget = new QQuickWidget;
widget->setSource(QUrl(QStringLiteral("qrc:/qml_maps/Viewer.qml")));
  QList l1;
    l1 = widget->findChild<QList *>("MarkerList");

@saitej
What is MarkerList ? By list do you mean ListView ?
If that's the case then you will need to cast it to QQuickItem.

@p3c0
No. Its an array (property of the viewer)

Viewer.qml

Rectangle{
id: rect
property var MarkerList: []
.......................
}

@saitej Ok. Then find rect using findChild. You will need to provide an objectName to it. After that since MarkerList is a property you can access it using property. Then convert this returned QVariant to QList.
