enums (pure QML) in main.qml not accessable?

[SeDi]

I want to use "pure qml" enums in my main.qml file. According to the docs, "Values are referred to via <Type>.<EnumerationType>.<Value> or <Type>.<Value>."

I have created my enum set in the main.qml, but I cannot access it:

import QtQuick 2.15
import QtQuick.Controls 2.15

ApplicationWindow {
    id: mainWin
    enum PageType {
        FACE_PAGE,
        SHOW_FOLDER_PAGE,
        SETTINGS_PAGE
    }
    property int test1: Main.PageType.FACE_PAGE
    property int test2: mainWin.PageType.FACE_PAGE
    property int test3: ApplicationWindow.PageType.FACE_PAGE
    (...)

The test1 property gives a ReferenceError: Main is not defined error
The other properties give a TypeError: Cannot read property 'FACE_PAGE' of undefined error

How can I reference my enums?

@SeDi I think this might be unsupported, since usually the first <type> is the same as filename. In your case it's main.qml which starts with a lowercase letter so QML engine won't accept it I guess. But just in case, try this:

property int test4: mian.PageType.FACE_PAGE
property int test5: mian.FACE_PAGE

If all fails - you'll have to declare your enum in a different QML file, sorry.

As what @sierdzio said, you can access your enum as follwing way

// main.qml
property int test1: main.FACE_PAGE // ok 
property int test2: main.PageType.FACE_PAGE // ok

@sierdzio Many thanks for answering. Unfortunately you seem to be right with this being unsupported. But actually it was much easier to re-structure my project than I had thought. Used in the proper way (== not in main.qml) enum works well by now. Would be interesting to know, if internally main.qml goes by any TypeName, thus making it referenceable. Perhaps I'll ask this in the #interest list, but for now I am settled.

@Kamichanw Unfortunately, you can't. "ReferenceError: main is not defined"
