I have just started looking into QML and QT Quick Controls and been playing around with the Tumbler control. At the moment, I have modified the example and tried to customise it to get a feel for the controls.
So, the way it stands is as follows:
Tumbler {
id: tumbler
anchors.centerIn: parent
Label {
id: characterMetrics
font.bold: true
font.pixelSize: textSingleton.font.pixelSize * 1.25
visible: false
text: "M"
}
// Just add the month column for simplicity
TumblerColumn {
id: monthColumn
width: characterMetrics.width * 3 + tumbler.delegateTextMargins
model: ["Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"]
}
}
Now I have overridden most if the default styles as follows:
style: TumblerStyle {
id: tumblerStyle
delegate: Item {
implicitHeight: (tumbler.height - padding.top - padding.bottom) / tumblerStyle.visibleItemCount
Text {
id: label
text: styleData.value
color: styleData.current ? "#52E16D" : "#808285"
font.bold: true
font.pixelSize: textSingleton.font.pixelSize * 1.5
opacity: 0.4 + Math.max(0, 1 - Math.abs(styleData.displacement)) * 0.6
anchors.centerIn: parent
}
}
// No frame
property Component frame: Canvas {
onPaint: {
}
}
property Component separator: Canvas {
implicitWidth: Math.max(10, Math.round(textSingleton.implicitHeight * 0.4))
onPaint: {
// Do not draw any separator
}
}
// No gradient background
property Component background: Rectangle {
}
property Component foreground: Item {
clip: true
Rectangle {
id: rect
anchors.fill: parent
// Go one pixel larger than our parent so that we can hide our one pixel frame
// that the shadow is created from.
anchors.margins: -1
color: "transparent"
border.color: "black"
visible: false
}
DropShadow {
}
}
}
Now what I want to do is instead of having a frame around the whole tumbler control, I just want to draw a line at the top and bottom if the TumblerColumn. So one can imagine that my Tumbler has many TumblerColumns and I just want to be able to basically be able to just draw a line at the top of the control along its width and at the bottom.
However, it seems with the TumblerStyle, I can only modify things that affect the whole Tumbler control. How is it possible to decorate a single TumblerColumn?
Use the columnForeground
property of TumblerColumn
:
import QtQuick 2.4
import QtQuick.Window 2.0
import QtQuick.Controls 1.2
import QtQuick.Controls.Styles 1.2
import QtQuick.Extras 1.2
Window {
id: root
width: 600
height: 400
visible: true
Tumbler {
id: tumbler
anchors.centerIn: parent
Label {
id: characterMetrics
font.bold: true
visible: false
text: "M"
}
// Just add the month column for simplicity
TumblerColumn {
id: monthColumn
width: characterMetrics.width * 3
model: ["Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"]
columnForeground: Item {
Rectangle {
width: parent.width
height: 1
color: "#808285"
}
Rectangle {
width: parent.width
height: 1
color: "#808285"
anchors.bottom: parent.bottom
}
}
}
style: TumblerStyle {
id: tumblerStyle
delegate: Item {
implicitHeight: (tumbler.height - padding.top - padding.bottom) / tumblerStyle.visibleItemCount
Text {
id: label
text: styleData.value
color: styleData.current ? "#52E16D" : "#808285"
font.bold: true
opacity: 0.4 + Math.max(0, 1 - Math.abs(styleData.displacement)) * 0.6
anchors.centerIn: parent
}
}
// No frame
property Component frame: Item {}
// Do not draw any separator
property Component separator: Item {}
// No gradient background
property Component background: Rectangle {}
property Component foreground: Item {}
}
}
}
If you want to use the same foreground for all columns, use the columnForeground
property in TumblerStyle
instead.
