QML: Dynamic resizing main window based on item appended to listmodel
Unsolved
QML and Qt Quick
-
Hi, I am working on a chat based application where I am trying to resize / grow the height of the main window when text is appended to the listmodel based on the message box height.
The listmodel is in a seperate file to which I am appending through input from textfield and property alias. The main.qml where the listmodel qml is displayed:
Main.qml: ApplicationWindow { id: root width: 450 minimumHeight: 75 visible: true color: "#373131" SwipeView { id: swipev Page{ id: page1 Rectangle { id: rectangle2 color: "#272131" anchors.left: parent.left anchors.leftMargin: 0 anchors.bottom: parent.bottom anchors.bottomMargin: 0 anchors.top: parent.top anchors.topMargin: 0 anchors.right: rectangle3.left anchors.rightMargin: 0 ConvoView { id: conview anchors.right: rectangle2.right } } } } }
Listmodel and Listview where the appended text is added to the messagerow.
ConvoView.qml Item { id: item1 property alias inmsg: conversationList ListModel{ id: conversationList } ListView{ ... delegate: Column { spacing: 6 anchors.right: parent.right Row { id: messageRow spacing: 6 Rectangle { width: messageText.implicitWidth + 24 height: messageText.implicitHeight + 24 color: "lightgrey" Label { id: messageText text: model.InputQuery color: "black" anchors.fill: parent anchors.margins: 12 wrapMode: Label.Wrap } } } } }
How can I set the height of the window to grow as the messages appended increases? I know i can set a fixed height and use a scrollbar but that's what I want to avoid. Is there any documentation i can find about dynamic resizing or resources/examples i can refer too ? Please help.
