QML ApplicationWindow unable to use onActiveChanged

[valeryz]

I am using QT5.7 and Controls 2.0 and I am unable to use onActiveChanged with ApplicationWindow:
ApplicationWindow {
id: root
flags: Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint | Qt.FramelessWindowHint
onActiveChanged: {
//do my stuff
}
}
I am getting
"Error:qrc:/main.qml:66 "ApplicationWindow.onActiveChanged" is not available due to component versioning.\n"
I am able to use it with Window, but Window does not support popup dim effect which I need as well.. I do not seem to find anything in documentation on this... I need to be able to detect clicks outside the ApplicationWindow.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Hi! Looks like a bug in the property/revisioning system. You can use the following as a workaround:

import QtQuick 2.7
import QtQuick.Controls 2.1

ApplicationWindow {
    id: mainWindow
    visible: true
    width: 640
    height: 480

    Connections {
        target: mainWindow
        onActiveChanged: {
            console.log("onActiveChanged: " + mainWindow.active);
        }
    }
}

Please file a bug at bugreports.qt.io.

@Wieland Thank you so much. I can't believe how simple the workaround was... I've been struggling with this one for a while... I'll log a bug

Hi, this was fixed in the 5.9 branch just a while ago. The fix will be available in Qt 5.9.1.
