How to add Date and Time picker in qt qml - qt

I want to add date and time picker in my application to set date and time. I am using the below code, for that I got error as "Unknown Component." How can I add date and time picker in qt qm?
import QtQuick 2.9
import QtQuick.Controls 2.5
ApplicationWindow {
id: main
Datepicker {
id: myDate
activeWindow: main
width: 200
}
TimePicker {
id: timePicker
anchors.centerIn: parent

Is it possible to use a QML Singleton as a header Item inside a QML Page?

I have a StackView that displays several pages of type "TabletPage.qml" :
// TabletPage.qml
import QtQuick 2.0
import QtQuick.Controls 2.0
import QtQuick.Window 2.2
import QtQml.Models 2.1
// import TopBar.Singleton 1.0
Page {
id: root
property ObjectModel menuBarModel
signal homePageRequested()
signal backPageRequested()
signal pageRequested(string url)
signal pageRequestedWithProp(string url, var prop)
width: Screen.width
height: Screen.height
background: Rectangle { color: "black" }
header: TopBar {} // Ok but each Page has its own TopBar
// header : TopBarSingleton // -> crash the UI, does not work
footer: HorizontalMenuBar { model: root.menuBarModel }
}
Each TabletPage has its own footer (a custom QML component HorizontalMenuBar) and a header (a custom QML TopBar) but now i need to make the header "global" : all pages should refer to the same QML instance of TopBar.qml. I have tried to make the TopBar a Singleton (using the qmlRegisterSingletonType method) but how then i can refer to it in the header of each Page ?
Is the singleton approach even possible in this case ?
Thank you.

Can't set text field to fill width in QML

I am following this tutorial on YouTube and the person sets the TextField to fill the width of the RowLayout. However, it doesn't seem to work for me. I tried using Layout.fillWidth on the CheckBox and it seems to work perfectly fine but it doesn't seem to want to work on the TextField. Here is my code:
main.qml:
import QtQuick 2.9
import QtQuick.Controls 2.2
ApplicationWindow
{
visible: true;
width: 640;
height: 480;
title: qsTr("Tabs");
ToDoList
{
anchors.centerIn: parent;
}
}
ToDoList.qml:
import QtQuick 2.9
import QtQuick.Controls 2.2
import QtQuick.Layouts 1.3
Frame
{
ListView
{
// Using implicit width and height allows the frame to automatically scale to the size of the list view
implicitWidth: 250
implicitHeight: 250
clip: true
model: 100
delegate: RowLayout {
width: parent.width
CheckBox {}
TextField
{
Layout.fillWidth: true
}
}
}
}
Here is a screenshot of what mine looks like
What did I do wrong?
I don't know if this has anything to do with it but I made a "Qt Quick Application - Swipe" instead of "Qt Quick Controls 2 Application" as that option wasn't available to me. Thanks in advance for any help.
Edit: I have written step by step instructions to replicate the issue below.
File > New File or Project
From the new window make sure "Application" is selected then click "Qt Quick Application - Swipe" and press "Choose"
Set any name for the project and click "Next"
Set the build system to "qmake" and click "Next"
Set the minimal required Qt version to "Qt 5.9" and the Qt quick controls style to "Material Dark" and click "Next"
Select the "Desktop Qt 5.12.0 MSVC2017 64bit" as the kit and click "Next"
Set the options to have no version control and click "Finish"
Delete "Page1Form.ui.qml" and "Page2Form.ui.qml" from the "Projects" pane
Replace the contents of "main.qml" with:
import QtQuick 2.9
import QtQuick.Controls 2.2
ApplicationWindow
{
visible: true;
width: 640;
height: 480;
title: qsTr("Tabs");
ToDoList
{
anchors.centerIn: parent;
}
}
Right click on the root project file and click "Add New"
From the new window make sure "Qt" is selected then click "QML File (Qt Quick 2)" and press "Choose"
Name the file "ToDoList" and click "Next"
Add to project "qml.qrc Prefix: /" then set the options to have no version control and click "Finish"
Replace the contents of "ToDoList.qml" with:
import QtQuick 2.9
import QtQuick.Controls 2.2
import QtQuick.Layouts 1.3
Frame
{
ListView
{
// Using implicit width and height allows the frame to automatically scale to the size of the list view
implicitWidth: 250
implicitHeight: 250
clip: true
model: 100
delegate: RowLayout {
width: parent.width
CheckBox {}
TextField
{
Layout.fillWidth: true
}
}
}
}
Run the project
The width is set properly. The problem is with TextField style. You may check it by setting background like
TextField
{
Layout.fillWidth: true
background: Rectangle {
color: "red"
}
}
Or just start typing into those fields with and without Layout.fillWidth: true

QML Button exclusiveGroup property?

I'm unable to assign ExclusiveGroup to my checkable buttons.
ExclusiveGroup {
id: group
onCurrentChanged: {
if(current != null) {
console.info("button checked...no!")
current = null
//current.checked = false <--- also this
}
}
}
Column {
width: parent.width
spacing: 0
Button {
id: btnScan
flat: true
text: qsTr("But1")
width: parent.width
checkable: true
exclusiveGroup: group
}
Button {
id: btnWhiteList
flat: true
text: qsTr("But2")
width: parent.width
checkable: true
exclusiveGroup: group
}
}
The documentation states clearly that Button does have exclusiveGroup property http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-controls-button.html#exclusiveGroup-prop. However, when I run the example, I get this error:
qrc:/main.qml:48 Cannot assign to non-existent property "exclusiveGroup"
Hovering mouse over "exclusiveGroup" makes a tooltip show up saying: "Invalid property name exclusiveGroup".
I have Qt 5.9.1 installed. Here's my import statements:
import QtQuick 2.7
import QtQuick.Controls 1.4
import QtQuick.Controls 2.0
import QtQuick.Layouts 1.3
import QtQuick.Controls.Material 2.2
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
The reason for your problem is this:
import QtQuick.Controls 1.4
import QtQuick.Controls 2.0
You have a Button in both, but they have a different API.
So at first you import the Button from QtQuick.Controls 1.4. Then you import the Button from QtQuick.Controls 2.0. As QML doesn't know, which one you want to use, it will take the one, you imported the last. If you want to be more specific, on which Button you want to use, you can use named imports
import QtQuick.Controls 1.4 as OldCtrl
import QtQuick.Controls 2.0 as NewCtrl
Then you can use Buttons from both versions as you like:
OldCtrl.Button { // from the QtQuick.Controls 1.4 }
NewCtrl.Button { // from the QtQuick.Controls 2.0 }
The documentation you quote is for QtQuick.Controls 1.x, and from there is the imported ExclusiveGroup. So you are trying to mix things from two libraries, that wont work together.
See ButtonGroup for a similar solution for QtQuick.Controls 2.x
For more on the differences and usecases of the both sets of controls read:

How to use a GridLayout in combination with exposing data property

I am trying to wrap GridLayout inside an Item and exposing the GridLayout's data property as the default property of the item. But this results in two problems.
I get a crash when exiting the application.
This may in fact be a bug in Qt itself and it might also already been fixed, if not I will report it after fixing 2. I am only able to test on Windows 7 using Qt 5.7.0 MSVC2015 32.bit at the moment.
How to use the attached Layout property? Take look in the following example, which results in the error:
Non-existent attached object
on line
"Layout.alignment: Qt.AlignBottom | Qt.AlignRight".
Example:
//MyCustomLayout.qml
import QtQuick 2.7
import QtQuick.Layouts 1.3
Item {
default property alias data: layout.data
//Some other QML components not to be within GridView here.
GridLayout {
id: layout
anchors.fill: parent
}
//Some other QML components not to be within GridView here.
}
//main.qml
import QtQuick.Controls 2.0
ApplicationWindow {
id: root
visible: true
height: 1024
width: 768
MyCustomLayout {
anchors.fill: parent
Button {
Layout.alignment: Qt.AlignBottom | Qt.AlignRight
}
}
}

Material theme doesn't seem to work in QML

I have a simple QML with an ApplicationWindow, RowLayout and a bunch of Buttons inside. I have applied the Qt Quick Controls 2 Material theme as per the docs, but nothing changed. What's wrong?
import QtQuick 2.7
import QtQuick.Controls 2.0
import QtQuick.Controls.Material 2.0
import QtQuick.Layouts 1.3
ApplicationWindow {
Material.theme: Material.Dark
Material.accent: Material.Orange
id: window
visible: true
RowLayout {
anchors.horizontalCenter: window.horizontalCenter
anchors.bottomMargin: 32
Button {
text: "A"
}
Button {
text: "B"
}
Button {
text: "C"
}
}
}
Importing QtQuick.Controls.Material 2.0 and setting some Material specific properties do not apply the Material theme. They will be used if the theme is set using one of the methods described here:
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtquickcontrols2-styles.html
