QML Nested List view with Highlight - qt

Question

I need to create nested list view and as shown below, and highlight the main list and sub-list with different color
I have tried with ListView highlight but there are issue like the highlight showing for child as well as parent as shown
below image.
I am using the code from here with some minor modification.
Here is the full code
import QtQuick 2.2
import QtQuick.Controls 1.1
import QtQuick 2.2
import QtQuick.Controls 1.2
import QtQuick.Controls.Styles 1.1
ApplicationWindow {
id: loginWindow
//visibility: "Maximized"
visible: true
width: 720
height: 720
Item {
width: 200
height: 720
ListView {
id: list
anchors.fill: parent
model: nestedModel
delegate: categoryDelegate
highlight: Rectangle {
color: "#FF00AAFF" //"#FF59ACFF";
radius: 2
}
}
ListModel {
id: nestedModel
ListElement {
categoryName: "Veggies"
collapsed: true
// A ListElement can't contain child elements, but it can contain
// a list of elements. A list of ListElements can be used as a model
// just like any other model type.
subItems: [
ListElement {
itemName: "Tomato"
},
ListElement {
itemName: "Cucumber"
},
ListElement {
itemName: "Onion"
},
ListElement {
itemName: "Brains"
}
]
}
ListElement {
categoryName: "Fruits"
collapsed: true
subItems: [
ListElement {
itemName: "Orange"
},
ListElement {
itemName: "Apple"
},
ListElement {
itemName: "Pear"
},
ListElement {
itemName: "Lemon"
}
]
}
ListElement {
categoryName: "Cars"
collapsed: true
subItems: [
ListElement {
itemName: "Nissan"
},
ListElement {
itemName: "Toyota"
},
ListElement {
itemName: "Chevy"
},
ListElement {
itemName: "Audi"
}
]
}
}
Component {
id: categoryDelegate
Column {
width: 200
Rectangle {
id: categoryItem
border.color: "black"
border.width: 5
color: "#33FF5225"
height: 50
width: 200
Text {
anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter
x: 15
font.pixelSize: 24
text: categoryName
}
Rectangle {
color: "red"
width: 30
height: 30
anchors.right: parent.right
anchors.rightMargin: 15
anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter
MouseArea {
anchors.fill: parent
// Toggle the 'collapsed' property
onClicked: {
list.currentIndex = index
nestedModel.setProperty(index, "collapsed",
!collapsed)
}
}
}
}
Loader {
id: subItemLoader
// This is a workaround for a bug/feature in the Loader element. If sourceComponent is set to null
// the Loader element retains the same height it had when sourceComponent was set. Setting visible
// to false makes the parent Column treat it as if it's height was 0.
visible: !collapsed
property variant subItemModel: subItems
sourceComponent: collapsed ? null : subItemColumnDelegate
onStatusChanged: if (status == Loader.Ready) item.model = subItemModel
}
}
}
Component {
id: subItemColumnDelegate
Column {
property alias model: subItemRepeater.model
width: 200
Repeater {
id: subItemRepeater
delegate: Rectangle {
x: 10
color: "#33FF5225"
height: 40
width: 190
border.color: "black"
border.width: 2
Text {
anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter
x: 30
font.pixelSize: 18
text: itemName
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
How can I overcome this issue. Basically I need to highlight Parent and child Item with different color.
Edit:
I can highlight parent list using the code
color:categoryDelegate.ListView.isCurrentItem ? "#FF00AAFF" : "#CCBBBBBB"
but coud'nt a find similar way to change the color of child list (sub list) on click.

Answer 1

Change the color property of the delegate in subItemRepeater to your choice.
Example
Component {
id: subItemColumnDelegate
Column {
...
Repeater {
id: subItemRepeater
delegate: Rectangle {
...
color: "purple"
...
}
}
}
}
Similarly change the color property categoryItem in the categoryDelegate.
Example
Component {
id: categoryDelegate
Column {
...
Rectangle {
id: categoryItem
...
color: "blue"
...
}
}
}
EDIT:
In that case the the overall concept is wrong. In the comment of the original code the author has written A ListElement can't contain child elements, but it can contain a list of elements. So we can't highlight the child item. But the following approach will give good result to you.
import QtQuick 2.0
Rectangle {
width: 360
height: 360
ListModel {
id: model1
ListElement {
name: "name"
}
ListElement {
name: "name"
}
ListElement {
name: "name"
}
}
ListModel {
id: model2
ListElement {
name: "inside"
}
ListElement {
name: "inside"
}
ListElement {
name: "inside"
}
}
ListView {
id: outer
model: model1
delegate: listdelegate
anchors.fill: parent
}
Component {
id: listdelegate
Item {
width: 100
height: col.childrenRect.height
Column {
id: col
anchors.left: parent.left
anchors.right: parent.right
Text {
id: t1
text: name
}
ListView {
id: insidelist
model: model2
property int collapseHeightFlag: childrenRect.height
delegate: Component {
id: delegate2
Item {
width: 100
height: col2.childrenRect.height
Column {
id: col2
anchors.left: parent.left
anchors.right: parent.right
Text {
id: name1
text: name
}
}
MouseArea {
anchors.fill: parent
onClicked: {
insidelist.currentIndex = index;
}
}
}
}
contentHeight: contentItem.childrenRect.height
height: 0
anchors.left: parent.left
anchors.right: parent.right
clip: true
highlight: Rectangle {
color: "pink"
radius: 2
}
focus: true
}
}
Rectangle {
color: "red"
width: 10
height: 10
anchors.right: parent.right
anchors.rightMargin: 5
anchors.top: parent.top
anchors.topMargin: 5
MouseArea {
anchors.fill: parent
onClicked: {
if(insidelist.height === insidelist.collapseHeightFlag) {
insidelist.height = 0;
}
else
insidelist.height = insidelist.collapseHeightFlag;
}
}
}
}
}
}
