How to access a specific component

outdoor_guy

Hi
I wrote a litte qml application which will create an Object of a Component every time a button is clicked.

import QtQuick 2.6
import QtQuick.Window 2.2
Window {
    id: mainWindow
    visible: true
    width: 1280
    height: 720

    property int idNumberCounter: 1

    Component
    {
     id: testComponent

        Rectangle
      {
           id: rectangleMade
           property int idNumber: 0
            width: 100
            height: 100
            x: 100*idNumber
             border.color: "blue"
    }
}
//The button for creating 
   Rectangle
    {
        id: buttonMakeRectangle
        color: "red"
        width: 50
        height: 50
        MouseArea
        {
            anchors.fill: parent
            onClicked:
            {
                testComponent.createObject(mainWindow,{idNumber:mainWindow.idNumberCounter});
                 mainWindow.idNumberCounter++;
            }
        }
    }
}

What I would like to do now is to have a second button, which will e.g. change the x-Value of the rectangle with the idNumber=3 (if available).

Is there a way to access a specific component?

FYI: Adding a MouseArea to the "rectagleMade" and simply perfom the work there is not possible, because in the real application this rectangles are controlled via dBus from another application. (it will be a windowing manager with QtWayland)

Thanks for help

@outdoor_guy Check if you can add these newly created objects in a property variant and then later access it.
