Description
User contacted Qt support with following improvement idea:
"
In order to style my controls, i have wrapped some of theme in My... components (e.g TextField MyTextField)
Problem is that I need to alias by hand all properties of the wrapped TextField by hand.
So, conceptually
MyTextField {
// can this list be made more simple ?
property alias text : field.text
property alias elide : field.elide
// etc
RowLayout {
Image{
}
TextField {
id : field
}
}
"
Users improvement idea:
"
Perhaps something similar to the default property ?
property default alias : componentId //eg. Item { // would alias all properties of subItem property default alias : subItem Text { id : subItem } }
perhaps one could consider 'merging' where the last alias overrules any alias
property previously aliased ?
Item {
// would alias all properties of subItem1
property default alias : subItem1
// this alias exports all properties of subitem2 overruling any previous
aliases ? (i.e. subitem1 has no valid aliases anymore as both are Text Items
property default alias : subItem2
// perhaps also allowing this : overrule subItem2 text alias cause all
alliases that are NOT text to be subitem2 but only text to be subitem1
property alias text : subItem1.text
Text {
id : subItem1
}
Text {
id : subItem2
}
}
perhaps with an unalias which would break the alias of default exported
aliases
Item {
// would alias all properties of subItem1
property default alias : subItem1
// breaks the alias for subitem1.text
property unalias : subItem1.text
Text {
id : subItem1
}
}
or allow for multiple aliases (e.g set all colors of items
Item {
property alias color : [ r1.color, r2.color ]
Rectangle {
id : r1
}
Rectangle {
id : r2
}
}
