QtObject QML Type (Singleton)

A basic QML type. More...

Note: This type is a QML singleton. There is only one instance of this type in the QML engine.

• List of all members, including inherited members

Properties

• objectName : string

Detailed Description

The QtObject type is a non-visual element which contains only the objectName property.

It can be useful to create a QtObject if you need an extremely lightweight type to enclose a set of custom properties:

 import QtQuick

 Item {
     QtObject {
         id: attributes
         property string name
         property int size
         property variant attributes
     }

     Text { text: attributes.name }
 }

It can also be useful for C++ integration, as it is just a plain QObject. See the QObject documentation for further details.

Property Documentation

objectName : string

This property holds the QObject::objectName for this specific object instance.

This allows a C++ application to locate an item within a QML component using the QObject::findChild() method. For example, the following C++ application locates the child Rectangle item and dynamically changes its color value:

 // MyRect.qml

 import QtQuick 2.0

 Item {
     width: 200; height: 200

     Rectangle {
         anchors.fill: parent
         color: "red"
         objectName: "myRect"
     }
 }

 // main.cpp

 QQuickView view;
 view.setSource(QUrl::fromLocalFile("MyRect.qml"));
 view.show();

 QQuickItem *item = view.rootObject()->findChild<QQuickItem*>("myRect");
 if (item)
     item->setProperty("color", QColor(Qt::yellow));
