QML and Qt Quick

@TomNow99 Use an explicit binding, instead of a JS-Evauation Binding { target: xyzInstance; property: "x"; value: myTextField.text; when: someCondition; restoreMode: Binding.RestoreValue}

Thank you so much, Mid does indeed change the color of the handle, but another color seems to control the color of the handle while it is being dragged. I will figure it out. One more question. Is this documented anywhere? Or is the source code available? I searched everywhere I could think of and could not locate it. I found this page: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtquickcontrols-fusion.html which only covers a subset of the palette usage.

Thanks to y'all who replied. @JoeCFD @Asperamanca @GrecKo @Axel-Spoerl @JKSH I had looked at the Drag and Drop examples but they used the DropArea type which didn't fit my need because it wouldn't allow me to place the tiles freely in a shared plane, or at least that's my understanding. With the help of AI tools (which I've found extremely useful in fast prototyping a project, especially in a framework that I'm not familiar with like in this case QML), I've created exactly what I needed with basic Qt Quick Items. Here's the basic structure: Window { // button to add a new tile Button { onClicked: { tileComponent.createObject(dashboardArea, { "x": /* x position in dashboard area */, "y": /* y position in dashboard area */, "tile specific properties": data }); } } // dashboard area Item { id: dashboardArea // this component holds dynamically created tiles Component { id: tileComponent Tile {} } } } // Tile.qml Rectangle { // tile specific properties ... // Make the tile draggable MouseArea {} }

@imxande said in QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component: want to understand what is really happening. One way to start doing this is to inspect your embedded resources: QDirIterator qrc(":", QDirIterator::Subdirectories); while(qrc.hasNext()) qDebug() << qrc.next(); Note that if I add engine.addImportPath("qt/qml") to my main.cpp file the engine finds the module What does engine.importPathList() produce after you do that?

some tips for this. ApplicationWindow { visible: true width: 640 height: 480 title: qsTr("HeaderView") TableModel { id: qmlTabModel TableModelColumn { display: "name" } TableModelColumn { display: "color" } TableModelColumn { display: "age" } rows: [ { "name": "cat", "color": "black", "age": "1.1" }, { "name": "dog", "color": "brown", "age": "1.2" }, { "name": "bird", "color": "white", "age": "1.3" } ] } Rectangle { id: bgtab anchors.fill: parent color: Qt.styleHints.appearance === Qt.Light ? palette.mid : palette.midlight onWidthChanged: { tableView.forceLayout() } HorizontalHeaderView { id: horizontalHeader anchors.left: tableView.left anchors.right: parent.right; anchors.top: parent.top syncView: tableView clip: true model: qmlTabModel delegate: Label { text: qmlTabModel.columns[column].display } } VerticalHeaderView { id: verticalHeader anchors.top: tableView.top anchors.left: parent.left syncView: tableView clip: true } TableView { id: tableView anchors.left: verticalHeader.right anchors.top: horizontalHeader.bottom anchors.bottom: parent.bottom contentWidth: parent.width; columnSpacing: 1 rowSpacing: 1 boundsBehavior: Flickable.StopAtBounds property var columnWidths: [100, 50, bgtab.width] columnWidthProvider: function(column) { let w = explicitColumnWidth(column) if (w >= 0 && column !== (columns - 1)) { columnWidths[column] = w; return w; } if (column === (columns - 1)) { w = columnWidths[column]; let i = columns - 1; while(--i !== -1) w -= columnWidths[i]; return w; } return columnWidths[column]; } model: qmlTabModel delegate: Rectangle { implicitHeight: 20 color: palette.base Label { text: display } } } } }

Nice, note that TapHandler has a doubleTapped signal.

Yes that's exactly what I meant, thanks for explaining it Bob64.

@SetupIa Take a look at this example: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtmultimedia-video-qmlvideo-example.html

i tried "link with qt", but result is the same.

If your shadow is cut off, I recommend to choose a bigger padding rect. What was a surprise for me - the x and y should be positive numbers if you want the rectangle to "wrap" top left corner too. Try something like: paddingRect: Qt.rect(100, 100, 300, 300) The size should be as small as possible though, cause it affects performance.

One of the (probably new) dependencies of the labs platform plugin is missing. You have to use the dependency walker directly on the plugin, to see which one it is.

@JKSH Agreed!

@GrecKo As expected, I get (-1, -1) cell coordinates back for non-visible indices.

@JKSH Thx. Will try it today.

@Tom-asso hi, Check the build log, you likely have a warning about that issue from the compiler.

I would be interested in this too. I happened across ColourImage in some Qt source the other day and thought it looked useful before realising that it's internal. This was in 6.8. I am porting some Qt5 code at the moment and was trying to figure out how to colour an svg. I used to use GraphicalEffects and the compatibility library isn't available with the in-house Qt build I have to use. Meanwhile MultiEffect, which I understood to be the Qt 6 replacement, doesn't appear to work, with no clues provided as to why not.
