Can i be a QML noob and ask why such signals is not listed?

Where would i have seen that it has onTextChanged also ?

@mrjj In QML each property defined in a QML type has a signal and which have corresponding signal handler defined as on<Property>Changed.
More info here:

Ahh, that is smart !
So any property is automatically a signal.
so you could also hook up to OnwidthChanged and so on.
thank you :)

@mrjj In the backend they are just Q_PROPERTY's where they have a setter, getter and a signal.
For eg.

Aha, its not so magical, just a normal QObject :)
Thx. I should try QML at some time. seems to mix nicely with c++.
