property binding just for initial value

petzold

Hi,

in my program all values are stored in a big config.qml
If i want to use colors, gradients etc. I create a variable and bind it to the master-value in my config.qml.
Now i have the problem if i want to edit some values like
value: value * 3
my "master-value gets the change too and not just the value in the component.

I tried with readonly property but i get the problem that i can't make readonly Gradients

Any idea to solve it?

@petzold So how about local property? This will initially be binded to global property in individial components which can then me modified later.

That is the way i'm looking for. but how to do?

property Gradient offGradient: Config.offlineGradient

That is the way i did. I have different gradients for different states.
Later i modify the actual gradient with

Qt.darker  
Qt.lighter

for some mouse-actions (hover, clicked etc.)

So at the moment i have the problem that my globalConfig.offlineGradient get the change and not just offGradient.

@petzold I was saying something like this:

Window {
    width: 200
    height: 200
    visible: true

    property int globalProperty: 30

    Item {
        id: item
        property int localProperty: globalProperty
        anchors.fill: parent

        Text {
            id: txt
            anchors.centerIn: parent
            text: item.localProperty

            MouseArea {
                anchors.fill: parent
                onClicked: {
                    item.localProperty = 60
                    console.log(globalProperty)
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Initially localproperty holds the globalperoperty. Then on click just changes the localproperty and not global one.

Normally that works but i have not so much elements.
My Element is a Button and it is just a Rectangle with some variables and a mouse area. This button i use as component in other qmls. And now to add additional Items for a workaround i don't want, because i think it is not a "nice" solutions, i hoped that i found a more correct way to "copy" just the value from a property to a new property.
My actual workaround is to have local propertys and no link to my globalconfig.

found a work around.

just implement the GlobalConfig in following ways

property QtObject gConfig: GlobalConfig {}

and than

property Gradient offGradient:		gConfig.offlineGradient

it works
