[Qt-qml] Qml Object static function

[Jesus Fernandez]

Hi,

Is there a way to have a Qml object with a function that doesn't require the object instantiation?
I want to create a Qml object with a show function to create Object dynamicly. The function behaviour will be like a object factory (Static class function)

Best regards.

Hi Jesus

I don't think there is a natural way to do so as QML is supposed to be declarative primarily.

You can, however, achieve the nearly same results by putting your factory functions to JavaScript of either a parent QML object or JavaScript library.

Cheers,
Artem.

If you don't want a custom QML type to be instantiable, you can register it using the overloaded version of qmlRegisterType() that doesn't take any arguments

See the discussion at http://lists.qt.nokia.com/pipermail/qt-qml/2010-October/001470.html

You should take a look at the Loader element.

You can also do this with a javascript function that uses Component.

If this is what he wants, I'd go with registering a global object on the
context instead of this weird hack.
