QML: rendering problems after showMinimized() - qt

Encountered the following problem with rendering in QML. I have implemented the 'minimize window' button:
Image {
source: "minimize.png"
scale: mouse.pressed ? 0.8 : 1.0
smooth: mouse.pressed
MouseArea {
id: mouse
anchors.fill: parent
anchors.margins: -5
onClicked: {
console.log("MinimizeButton clicked");
viewer.showMinimized();
}
}
}
where 'viewer' is the object inherited from QDeclarativeView which represents the main application window.
The button shrinks when user clicks the mouse onto it and window has been minimized. But button stays shrinked when window is restored.
Tried to add the timer which prints 'mouse.pressed' every 1 sec:
Timer {
repeat: true
interval: 1000
running: true
onTriggered: {
console.log("mouse.pressed =",mouse.pressed);
}
}
It always prints mouse not pressed. But button is scaled to 0.8, not 1.0.
"viewer.showMinimized()" appears to be guilty: button is rendered OK if it is commented out.
Any suggestions to solve the problem?

QML BusyIndicator how to overlay the current window, like ProgressDialog in Android

Iam using QML Busyindicator when a user login or loading a data in a page or something like this, I want to be able to make the busyindicator overlay over the current window and make the window not editable, something similar to the messagebox when it shows up and disables all the Window, so I cant interact with the widgets on this window until the loading finish, something like the ProgressDialog in Android.
this is my code and what I try to do, also I tried to use MessageDialog and use this indicator inside it and remove all buttons, but it does not work.
Popup {
id: waitpop
width: 100
height: 100
BusyIndicator {
id: login_progress
running: true
anchors.fill: parent
}
anchors.centerIn: Overlay.overlay
closePolicy: Popup.NoAutoClose
}
this code shows the busy indicator but the user still can interact with the button and text field and everything, so any ideas?
The modal property prevents you from being able to click outside the popup.
Popup {
anchors.centerIn: Overlay.overlay
closePolicy: Popup.NoAutoClose
modal: true
BusyIndicator {
running: true
}
}

Binding Loop Error While Trying to Increment Progress

I am trying to show incremental changes on a progress bar by clicking a mouse area. The code below compiles and changes the value of the progress bar from 0 to 0.25 after clicking the mouse area. But the change is not permanent. I am trying to increase the current each click by 0.25. I know my code is only setting the value to positive .25 each click. I am just at a loss for how I might increment change in progress bar without global vars. I included the transition to ensure the state change was irreversible, the code still compiles and runs the same. There are two issues.
My change is not permanent in the visible progress bar
My increments do not increase the total value, they are singular value assignments
ProgressBar{
id: progressBar
height: 20
anchors.top: parent.top
anchors.topMargin: 100
anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
opacity: 1
value: 0
states: State{
name: "PressedAlso"
when: mouseArea.pressed == true
PropertyChanges{
target: progressBar
value: + 0.25
}
}
transitions: Transition {
from: ""; to: "PressedAlso"; reversible: false
}
}
Your state PressedAlso means: when the mouse button is pressed, the value is 0.25. Otherwise, the value is implicitly 0.
If you want to increment by 0.25 by pressing the mouse button, you can use onPressed property in your MouseArea:
MouseArea {
anchors.fill: parent
id: mouseArea
onPressed: progressBar.value += 1
}

QML - How to drag a ToolButton?

The QT documentation has this tutorial.
I initially followed it exactly, and it works. I then made two modifications:
I replaced the ListView with a GridView (that works without #2).
I attempted to add a ToolButton to my delegate inside the Rectangle "content" like so:
Rectangle {
id: content
ToolButton {
id: toolButton
icon.color = "transparent"
icon.source = "image://Loader/iconName"
}
Drag.active: dragArea.held
Drag.source: dragArea
Drag.hotSpot.x: width / 2
Drag.hotSpot.y: height / 2
}
This does not work, the ToolButton appears to be processing the mouse movements and not propagating the messages (I can click the button, but I can not drag it)? This is actually somewhat expected to be honest.
So that said, does anyone have a good way of dragging ToolButtons around? Or is it just accepted that you can't do that? I have tried various combinations of Rectangles and MouseAreas but I can't seem to do one without breaking the other (ie either the drag fails or the button fails).
You can move the MouseArea as a child of the ToolButton to manage the drag with pressAndHold, and propagate the click to keep the button behavior:
Rectangle {
id: content
ToolButton {
id: toolButton
// bind the visual state of the button to the MouseArea
background: Rectangle {
color: marea.pressed
? Qt.darker("blue")
: marea.containsMouse
? Qt.lighter("blue")
: "blue" // use your desired colors
}
MouseArea {
id: marea
property bool held: false
drag.target: held ? content : undefined
drag.axis: Drag.YAxis
anchors.fill: parent
hoverEnabled: true
onPressAndHold: held = true
onReleased: held = false
onClicked: toolButton.clicked() // propagate clicked event to the ToolButton
}
}
// ...
}

How make QML ListView not flickable?

I was wondering if there's any way for ListView to behave like a desktop control and not react with scrolling to mouse dragging?
I know about the interactive property, but I still want the ListView to react to clicks, mouse wheel, arrow keys, and have a ScrollBar.
For starters, setting interactive to false will pretty much immobilize the view.
There is a keyNavigationEnabled property which doesn't seem to work at this moment(this critical bug).
So will need to do a little extra work to get it to work as you want:
MouseArea {
anchors.fill: ll
onWheel: ll.flick(0, wheel.angleDelta.y * 5)
}
ListView {
id: ll
model: 50
width: 50
height: 200
spacing: 5
focus: true
interactive: false
boundsBehavior: Flickable.StopAtBounds
Keys.onPressed: {
if (event.key === Qt.Key_Up) flick(0, 500)
else if (event.key === Qt.Key_Down) flick(0, -500)
}
delegate: Rectangle {
width: 50
height: 50
color: "red"
MouseArea {
anchors.fill: parent
onClicked: console.log("clicked")
}
}
}
Interactivity is disabled, key navigation is implemented manually, and a background MouseArea is used to capture wheel events. Note that you don't have to do anything special to enable clicking on items for a non-interactive view, it works regardless of the view is interactive or not.

How can I get the drop effect of a DragArea to animate towards the DropArea that received it?

Hope this makes some sense as a question. In my app, I have a DragArea defined which I use to start dragging things over top of various Rectangles that each contain a DropArea. Everything is working fine in my code except for a cosmetic effect that I would like to change.
In QML, when you start dragging from a DragArea and eventually drop, the animation effect is such that the thing you're dragging animates (while fading out) back to the spot from which you started dragging. This happens even when you drop over a DropArea that successfully captures the drop.
What I would like to do is have the drop effect animate towards the DropArea that received the drop - so that it appears I am dragging-and-dropping things into the Rectangle. Is there any way to do this?
I'm guessing that this in some way involves the .source and .target properties of these areas, but no luck so far in having any effect on where the drop animation goes.
By default, QML will give you no cosmetic behavior for drag and drop whatsoever. The drag target will begin at the drag start location, and will end wherever it is dropped, regardless of whether the drag is accepted or not.
Thus I assume the behavior you describe is implemented in your user code, which you have not disclosed. Regardless, what you want to do is quite easy, it involves tracking the position the drag originates at and it ends at, so you can use the two coordinates to animate the position.
In the following example the red rectangle can be dragged, and if dropped outside of a drop area it will animate from its current to its initial position, whereas if dropped in the yellow rectangle, it will animate from its initial to its drop position.
Window {
width: 600
height: 600
visible: true
Rectangle {
width: 200
height: 200
color: "yellow"
DropArea {
anchors.fill: parent
onEntered: drag.source.accepted = true
onExited: drag.source.accepted = false
}
}
Rectangle {
id: rect
width: 50
height: 50
color: "red"
x: parent.width * 0.5
y: parent.height * 0.5
Drag.active: mouseArea.drag.active
property point begin
property point end
property bool accepted : false
MouseArea {
id: mouseArea
anchors.fill: parent
drag.target: parent
onPressed: rect.begin = Qt.point(rect.x, rect.y)
onReleased: {
rect.end = Qt.point(rect.x, rect.y)
aX.from = rect.accepted ? rect.begin.x : rect.end.x
aX.to = rect.accepted ? rect.end.x : rect.begin.x
aY.from = rect.accepted ? rect.begin.y : rect.end.y
aY.to = rect.accepted ? rect.end.y : rect.begin.y
anim.start()
}
ParallelAnimation {
id: anim
NumberAnimation { id: aX; target: rect; property: "x"; duration: 200 }
NumberAnimation { id: aY; target: rect; property: "y"; duration: 200 }
}
}
}
}
