Adding QML to widget

[pdsc_dy]

Hi Can you please help me how to add a qml form to a widget (say a dialog)? I tried to create a container and use QQuickView. But I have trouble using the addwidget function on the dialog. It says it's not a member function. Below is the coding:

QQuickView *view = new QQuickView();
QWidget *container = QWidget::createWindowContainer(view, this);

container->setMinimumSize(250, 250);
container->setMaximumSize(250, 250);
container->setFocusPolicy(Qt::TabFocus);

view->setSource(QUrl("test.qml"));
ui->addWidget(container);

What is that ui class ? By your post it seems that it does not have addwidget function. What is your use case ? Where do u want add Qml ? What is ui class ?

Add a QQuickWidget to your dialog. You don't need QQuickView or createWindowContainer().

But I have trouble using the addwidget function on the dialog. It says it's not a member function.

Well, ui is not the dialog.

QVBoxLayout *l = new QVBoxLayout;
l->addWidget(quickWidgetOrContainer);
setLayout(l);

@dheerendra @JKSH @mtrch Thank you all for the advice. I changed the coding to the following:

QQuickWidget *quickWidget = new QQuickWidget; 
quickWidget->setSource(QUrl::fromLocalFile("test.qml"));
QVBoxLayout *l = new QVBoxLayout;
l->addWidget(quickWidget);
setLayout(l);

All these happen inside the cpp file of a qdialog. Now the model build and run without errors. It does show a blank square but it covers couple of buttons I have on the dialog. The QML form does not show up either. Can you let me know what I have missed?

Another side question, when you do setLayout this way, does it imply it the setLayout is applied to the dialog? I can ignore the pointer "this" in this way? Thanks.

@pdsc_dy Have you specified size for the root item ? Since by default the view is resized to its size. Either specify it a size or change resizeMode to QQuickWidget::SizeRootObjectToView.

Yes. When you call a class member function from another member function, this is implied.
