@qtLove Oops, ok I should have noticed it was in a Component. You can't link directly to properties in a component since they aren't loaded in time (this reason may not be correct, it's my assumption, I'm new to QML too).
So the way to do this is to add a property to your root item that the component item inherits, like so:
TestSlider.qml:
import QtQuick 2.4
import QtQuick.Controls.Styles 1.4
import QtQuick.Controls 1.4
Slider {
id:slider
orientation: Qt.Vertical
height: parent.height
property var myRad : 8
property var myColor: "blue"
property Component myHandleComp: Rectangle {
radius: slider.myRad
width: 20
height: 20
color: slider.myColor
}
style: SliderStyle
{
id: ss
groove:
Rectangle
{ id: rec
implicitWidth:parent.height
implicitHeight: 1
color: "gray"
}
handle: myHandleComp
}
}
main.qml:
import QtQuick 2.4
import QtQuick.Controls 1.4
Rectangle
{
width: 600
height: 600
color: "green"
TestSlider {
anchors.centerIn: parent
myColor: "red"
}
}
That allows me to set the color and radius without using an alias into a non-created component item. Note: I broke it out into it's own property Component during some testing I was doing, you do not need to do this. You can just put it straight into handle: YourItem { }.
