There is no parent property in QtObject-based QML elements

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      Parent item is integral part of QML, which essentially describes a dynamic object tree. Currently parent property is only accessible for visual QML elements inheriting from QGraphicsObject. Many non-visual QML elements in Qt Mobility QML bindings don't have parent property, making the developer experience inconsistent and unintuitive.

      Following code should work:

      import QtQuick 1.0

Rectangle {
    width: 200; height: 300
    property string name: "Rectangle"
    QtObject {
        Component.onCompleted: {
            console.log("Parent name is", parent.name)
        }
    }
}
