QML Gridview with InputText - qt

I need a Listview with InputText on each row. Use case is a cart of items wherein qty can be changed for each row.
With the below code, Listview is rendering with a label and a text box alongside.
Issue is, all textboxes are going to have the same id, because of which, all textbox values are changing based on the last textbox value changed. Ex: If I enter 10 for the first item and 12 for the second item, even first item's qty changes to 12.
The onEnter is only for demonstration. It could be onFocusChanged going forward:
ListView {
id:list
model: fruitModel
x:10
y:10
width: parent.width-20
height: parent.height-20
clip:true
anchors.fill: parent
delegate: Row {
width: parent.width
height:30
Item
{
property variant myData: model
property alias value: text.text
Text {
id:text
width: parent.width
height: 30
text:name
}
InputText {
id: inp_box
text:qty
width:100
height:22
anchors.verticalCenterOffset: 15
anchors.horizontalCenterOffset:250
focus: true
onEnter: {
editQty(inp_box.text);
}
}
}
}
focus: true
snapMode: ListView.SnapOneItem
ScrollBar {
flickable: list
vertical: true
hideScrollBarsWhenStopped:false
}
}

You should extend your editQty function to take the index of edited entry in fruitModel as an additional parameter. The index of the current entry is available within the list view's delegate as index. The way you did it, editQty has no chance to know which entry to change.

In Qt Quick, how to ensure a ListView's delegate's width to equal the view's width?

Here's my QML view:
// Imports ommitted
Item {
id: paymentMethods
required property PaymentMethodsModel model
ColumnLayout {
anchors.fill: parent;
Text {
text: "Payment methods";
}
ListView {
Layout.fillHeight: true
Layout.fillWidth: true
model: paymentMethods.model
delegate: PaymentMethods.Item { }
}
ToolBar { }
}
}
The problem is, it looks like this:
I think it's because the delegate doesn't specify width, because if I do this:
delegate: PaymentMethods.Item {
width: parent.width
onPmSaved: {
ListView.view.model.rename(index, newName)
}
}
It looks much better:
The problem is, when I do edits that reorder the items, I get this error:
qrc:/PaymentMethods.qml:32: TypeError: Cannot read property 'width' of null
Is there a good way to set a QML ListView's delegate's width to full parent's width?
From the ListView documentation:
Delegates are instantiated as needed and may be destroyed at any time. As such, state should never be stored in a delegate. Delegates are usually parented to ListView's contentItem, but typically depending on whether it's visible in the view or not, the parent can change, and sometimes be null. Because of that, binding to the parent's properties from within the delegate is not recommended. If you want the delegate to fill out the width of the ListView, consider using one of the following approaches instead:
ListView {
id: listView
// ...
delegate: Item {
// Incorrect.
width: parent.width
// Correct.
width: listView.width
width: ListView.view.width
// ...
}
}
In the transition of the reordering, the item does not have a parent, so the error indicates it, a possible solution is to set the width of the item depending on whether it has a parent or not.
width: parent ? parent.width : 40 // default value

Multiline text item is not clipped inside QML ListView

I have a QML page that with a GridLayout that contains the page title, ListView and close button:
GridLayout {
columns: 1
rows: 5
anchors.fill: parent
<page title item>....
ListView
{
spacing: 15
model: logModel
delegate: Item {
implicitWidth: parent.width
implicitHeight: grid.height
RowLayout
{
id: grid
spacing: 0
width: parent.width
height: commentLabel.implicitHeight
<icon>....
Label {
id: commentLabel
Layout.fillWidth: true
text: comment
wrapMode: Label.Wrap
}
}
}
ScrollIndicator.vertical: ScrollIndicator { }
}
<close button>...
}
When I scroll the list, the first and the last visible item in the list may go beyond the list bounder and intersect the page title or close button:
How to prevent this and make the items clipped?
EDIT1:
I tried to add
clip: true
to ListView, delegate Item, RowLayout and Label, but with no success. According to docs, ListView with clip property set to true should clip its content, should not it?
I found a similar question where clip property is the answer, but it is not clear why it does not work with my ListView.
My QT version is 5.13.2.
Set clip:true in the ListView component.
ListView
{
clip:true
}

Open QML ComboBox drop down menu from the current item position

I have choose an item in combobox. Item's position is 300 for example. If I want to choose new element from combobox . Popup shows from beginning. I want to popup opened from current item position.
ComboBox {
id: control
model: ["First", "Second", "Third","MERHABA","NASILSIN","SELAM","IYIMISIN","DOSTUM","SUAN","BIR","DENEME YAPILIYOR"]
//width: 350
//font.pixelSize: 20
delegate: ItemDelegate {
width: 350
text: modelData
font.weight: control.currentIndex === index ? Font.DemiBold : Font.Normal
font.pixelSize: 30
highlighted: control.highlightedIndex == index
}
For QtQuick.Controls 2, There is a 'popup' property, so we can set the popup position with it's own property 'y', like this:
ComboBox {
model: ["First", "Second", "Third"]
delegate: ItemDelegate {
text: modelData
}
popup.y: y + height // popup just below ComboBox
}
The ComboBox will work the way you want it if the conditions allow for it, that is, if you have enough elements to fill the entire drop down list after the current index item it will show from that item rather than the beginning.
The stock ComboBox however doesn't seem to allow you to specify the drop down list height, so it will take significantly more elements than you have in your example. Or significantly taller elements.
Furthermore, if the current index is the last element, how do you imagine this will show? The list would show only the last element plus a whole bunch of nothing, which is not even possible, the last item cannot move up from the end of the list.
If you really want that behavior, you will have to implement your own combo box element from scratch.
I was facing the same issue and found out that if you place the popup onOpened, it works perfectly:
ComboBox {
id: yearDropdown
model: yearModel
onActivated: updateVisibleDate()
popup: Popup {
id: comboPopup
clip: true
contentItem: ListView {
id: listView
implicitHeight: contentHeight
model: yearDropdown.popup.visible ? yearDropdown.delegateModel : null
onModelChanged: if(model) positionViewAtIndex(yearDropdown.currentIndex, ListView.Center);
ScrollIndicator.vertical: ScrollIndicator { }
}
onOpened: {
x = yearDropdown.x //Set the position you want
y = yearDropdown.y + yearDropdown.implicitHeight //Set the position you want
}
}
}

Building TabBar in QML - Loader doesn't show all the Rectangles

import QtQuick 2.4
import QtQuick.Window 2.2
Window
{
visible: true
height: 500
width: 500
property VisualItemModel contentToBeShownOnTabClick : visualItemModelDemo
property variant tabLabels : ["Navigation", "Payload", "System Control"]
VisualItemModel
{
id: visualItemModelDemo
Rectangle
{
id: navigationTab
color: "green"
height: 200
width: 200
}
Rectangle
{
id: navigationTab1
color: "darkgreen"
height: 200
width: 200
}
Rectangle
{
id: navigationTab2
color: "lightgreen"
height: 200
width: 200
}
}
MainForm
{
Component
{
id: tabsOnBottomComponent
Repeater
{
model: tabLabels
// The Tabs
Rectangle
{
id: tabsOnBottom
// This anchoring places the tabs on the outer top of the parent rectangle.
anchors.top: parent.bottom
anchors.topMargin: 180
color: "lightsteelblue"
border.color: "steelblue"
border.width: 2
implicitWidth: Math.max ((labelTabsBottom.width + 4), 80)
implicitHeight: 20
radius: 2
// Tabs Text/Label
Text
{
id: labelTabsBottom
anchors.centerIn: parent
color: "white"
rotation: 0
// With reference to mode: tabLabels
text: modelData
font.pointSize: 11
}
MouseArea
{
anchors.fill: parent
onClicked: bottomTabClicked (index);
}
}
}
}
Rectangle
{
// The things which get displayed on clicking of a tab will be shown in this rectangle.
id: areaForTabContents
border.color: "black"
border.width: 10
height: parent.height
width : parent.width
color : "pink"
// These are the tabs displayed in one row - horizontally.
Row
{
id: horizontalTabs
Loader
{
anchors.fill: parent
sourceComponent: tabsOnBottomComponent
}
}
}
anchors.fill: parent
}
}
This gets shown as follows:
whereas I want it to see 3 rectangles there side by side.
Loader is not a transparent type w.r.t. the containing type, Row in this case. I think this is an issue related to creation context and the way Repeater works. From the documentation of the latter:
Items instantiated by the Repeater are inserted, in order, as children of the Repeater's parent. The insertion starts immediately after the Repeater's position in its parent stacking list. This allows a Repeater to be used inside a layout.
The Rectangles are indeed added to the parent which is the Loader, they stack up - Loader does not provide a positioning policy - then they are added to the Row resulting in just one Item (the last one) to be visible.
You can tackle the problem with few different approaches, depending on the properties you want to maintain or not. I would get rid of anchoring in the Component and move it to the containing Row. A too specific anchoring inside a Component could be a pain in the neck when it is instanced and used all over a (not so small) project.
As a first approach you can re-parent the Repeater to the Row, i.e. you can rewrite code as:
Row
{
id: horizontalTabs
Loader
{
sourceComponent: tabsOnBottomComponent
onLoaded: item.parent = horizontalTabs
}
}
However this would result in warnings due to the Component anchoring references not working as expected any more.
If you still want to maintain the anchoring, as defined in the Component, and off-load the creation, you can go for the dynamic way (if the semantics fits in your use case), i.e. you can use createObject. This way you totally avoid the Loader and the related issue. For instance, you can create the Repeater once the Row has completed its creation:
Row
{
id: horizontalTabs
Component.onCompleted: tabsOnBottomComponent.createObject(horizontalTabs)
}
Clearly, the creation code can be move anywhere else, depending on your needs.

How to define a "template" with child placeholders in QML?

I really like QML. I like how I can define components (comparable to classes) and their properties, and instantiate them from somewhere else (comparable to objects).
I can define, let's say, a button, having some look and feel, and a label text on it. This could be done, for example, using this component definition (Button.qml):
Item {
id: button
property string label
anchors.fill: parent
Rectangle {
anchors.fill: parent
radius: 10
color: "gray"
Text {
anchors.centerIn: parent
font.pixelSize: 20
text: button.label
color: "white"
}
}
}
and instanciated in this main file (main.qml):
Rectangle {
width: 300
height: 200
Button {
anchors.centerIn: parent
anchors.margins: 50
label: "Hello button!"
}
}
But I see the following restriction: I can only define a button template with some properties, not with some placeholder. All children defined in the instance will be direct children, at least per default, and I want to change this behavior.
Let's say I want to place an item (let's say an image, but I don't want to tell the definition of Button that it will be an image) in the button. I imagine something like this:
Item {
id: button
property Item contents <-- the client can set the placeholder content here
anchors.fill: parent
Rectangle {
anchors.fill: parent
radius: 10
color: "gray"
Item {
id: placeholder <-- where the placeholder should be inserted
}
}
Component.onCompleted: {
// move the contents into the placeholder...
}
}
How can I achieve this? I don't know if using Component.onCompleted is the correct way. Note that, however, that in my case the contents will never change afterwards (at least in my current design of the application...).
Also, I want anchoring to work within the placeholder. For example, if I define the contents to be a Text element, being centered in its parent (which will first be the template itself). Then my code moves this Text instance into the placeholder and the parent anchors should then be those of the placeholder item, not the template item.
I found a much nicer answer to this question, suggested in a presentation of the Qt Developer Days 2011 "Qt Quick Best Practices and Design Patterns".
They use default property alias ... to alias the child items to any property of any item. If you don't want to alias the children but give the alias property a name, just remove default. (Literal children are per QML definition the value of the default property.)
Item {
id: button
default property alias contents: placeholder.children
anchors.fill: parent
Rectangle {
anchors.fill: parent
radius: 10
color: "gray"
Item {
id: placeholder <-- where the placeholder should be inserted
}
}
}
Necro answering in case someone else end up here as I did.
In Qt5 somewhere along the line the default property became "data" and not "children".
This makes it possible to add other object types than "Item".
e.g. Connections can be added as well (to answer my own question above)
So in Qt5 you should do:
Item {
id: button
default property alias contents: placeholder.data
anchors.fill: parent
Rectangle {
anchors.fill: parent
radius: 10
color: "gray"
Item {
id: placeholder <-- where the placeholder should be inserted
}
}
}
Note the:
placeholder.data instead of placeholder.children
Also please note that you don't have to use the alias name contents - this can be anything you like. An example:
Item {
id: button
default property alias foo: placeholder.data
...
}
Actually, the correct answer from what I've heard is to use a QML Loader to accomplish what you want.
[that being said; I haven't actually tried it yet but it's on my near-term to-try list and looks fairly straight forward]
Also, search stackoverflow for other "QML Loader" questions as there are a number that will help you get started.
You can move the item(s) (if you want to support multiple items within the placeholder) using this piece of code:
property list<Item> contents
Component.onCompleted: {
var contentItems = [];
for(var i = 0; i < contents.length; ++i)
contentItems.push(contents[i]);
placeholder.children = contentItems;
}
Note that you do not have to provide a list of Items for the contents property, as single values will be accepted by the QML engine also for list properties.
In short (to show the idea):
import QtQuick 1.1
Item {
width: 200
height: 100
//<-- the client can set the placeholder content here
property Item contents: Rectangle {
anchors.fill: parent
anchors.margins: 25
color: "red"
}
Rectangle {
id: container
anchors.fill: parent
radius: 10
color: "gray"
//<-- where the placeholder should be inserted
}
Component.onCompleted: {
contents.parent = container
}
}
Somewhat longer version (supporting contents reassignment):
import QtQuick 1.1
Item {
width: 200
height: 100
//<-- the client can set the placeholder content here
property Item contents: Rectangle {
//anchors can be "presupplied", or set within the insertion code
//anchors.fill: parent
//anchors.margins: 25
color: "red"
}
Rectangle {
id: container
anchors.fill: parent
radius: 10
color: "gray"
//<-- where the placeholder should be inserted
//Item {
// id: placeholder
//}
}
//"__" means private by QML convention
function __insertContents() {
// move the contents into the placeholder...
contents.parent = container
contents.anchors.fill = container
contents.anchors.margins = 25
}
onContentsChanged: {
if (contents !== null)
__insertContents()
}
Component.onCompleted: {
__insertContents()
}
}
Hope this helps :)
