How change field of reused component in Qml? - qt

Question

I have the following code. I need to set different "model" field for different TableViews. How can i do this?
I need override "model" field for every TableView. It is possible?
// main.qml
ApplicationWindow {
id: window
TabView {
Tab {
title: "Tab 1"
MyTable {}
}
Tab {
title: "Tab 2"
MyTable {}
}
}
}
.
// MyTable.qml
MyTableView {
TableView {
TableViewColumn {
role: "number"
title: "Number"
}
model: MyModel
}
}
The next code is correct but too long.
// main.qml
ApplicationWindow {
id: window
TabView {
Tab {
title: "Tab 1"
TableView {
TableViewColumn {
role: "number"
title: "Number"
}
model: MyModel_1
}
}
Tab {
title: "Tab 2"
TableView {
TableViewColumn {
role: "number"
title: "Number"
}
model: MyModel_2
}
}
}
}

Answer 1

You can set a property alias for the model. First set an id for the TableView then hook up its model.
// MyTable.qml
MyTableView {
property alias model: tableView.model
TableView {
id: tableView
TableViewColumn {
role: "number"
title: "Number"
}
// model: MyModel // redundant in most cases
// unless you want to have a DEFAULT model
}
}
And use model in each MyTable item like so:
// main.qml
ApplicationWindow {
id: window
TabView {
Tab {
title: "Tab 1"
MyTable { model: MyFirstModel }
}
Tab {
title: "Tab 2"
MyTable { model: MySecondModel }
}
}
}
