Adding to GridLayout dynamically

[krobinson]

I am trying to create some objects and add them to a GridLayout dynamically. I have a couple of questions on how to pull it off.

I have the GridLayout created.

GridLayout
{
    id: grid
    anchors.fill: parent
    rowSpacing: 2
    columnSpacing: 2
}

I am creating objects to populate it like this

var object = Qt.createComponent("MyObject.qml");
var instance = object.createObject(grid);

Will this actually add the object to the grid? How can I set Layout properties on the object, for example Layout.fillHeight?

@krobinson hi,

see this exemple from http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtqml-javascript-dynamicobjectcreation.html

function createSpriteObjects() {
    component = Qt.createComponent("Sprite.qml");
    sprite = component.createObject(appWindow, {"x": 100, "y": 100});

    if (sprite == null) {
        // Error Handling
        console.log("Error creating object");
    }
}

After a bit more research I have realized that I am creating a Component object. So I cant just set the layout attached property on there. I need to access the actual item defined in the Component. How can I do that? Doing it by name just seems to be undefined.

console.debug(instance.myItemName)

That just returns undefined. How do I access the internal items in the component?
