qmltypes file and dynamically defined properties

[rweickelt]

Hi,

I have created a QML module and provide a qmltypes file for auto completion in QtCreator. Some of the types use a QQmlCustomParser for some special properties. Those are not predefined and thus, I cannot explicitly specify them in a qmltypes file.

    // snippet from qmltypes file
    Component {
        name: "Dimension"
        exports: [ "qst/Dimension 1.0" ]
        exportMetaObjectRevisions: [0]
    }

QtCreator shows me a warning for every property that is not defined in the qmltypes file. Is there a possibility in the qmltypes file to say that the component may contain properties with arbitrary names?

I would like to make an exception for certain components such as Dimension. The fact that it can contain a tag property depends on something else, defined at run-time.

Thanks
Richard

There is nothing special in the plugins.qnltypes for PropertyChanges, Connections or ListElement.

I haven't read all the code nor understood it, but at first glance it seems that it is hardcoded in Qt Creator https://code.woboq.org/qt5/qt-creator/src/libs/qmljs/qmljsscopebuilder.cpp.html#172

QQmlCustomParser is a private class so I guess you are out of luck and will need to deal with Qt Creator warnings.

Thank you for trying to help. Good idea to fake a Connections or ListElement type, but how can I set it as a prototype for my custom type? The following doesn't work:

    Component {
        name: "Dimension"
        prototype: "QtQuick/Connections 2.0"
        exports: [ "qst/Dimension 1.0" ]
        exportMetaObjectRevisions: [0]
    }

I don't fully understand the linked code block, but it looks like QtCreator is not able to recognize a custom type derived from ListElement. I reported QTCREATORBUG-20734
