I am trying to add a tabButton to TabBar dynamically on pressing a button but i have spent a lot of time searching but i am not getting how to add, below is the code which i am working on :
MyTabButton.qml
import QtQuick 2.4
import QtQuick.Controls 2.2
Item
{
property int BtnWidth:0
property int BtnHeight:0
property string BtnText: ""
property bool isChecked : false
TabButton
{
id:tabBtn
text:BtnText
width:BtnWidth
height:BtnHeight
}
}
MainForm.qml
import QtQuick 2.4
import QtQuick.Controls 2.2
Rectangle
{
Button
{
id:button
width:100
height:100
anchors.top:parent.top
text:qStr("Add")
onClicked{
//How to add logic here to add tab in below tabBar.
}
}
TabBar
{
id:tabBar
anchors.top:button.bottom
width:500
height:500
}
}
You need to have something like a Component
that is a TabButton
. Your file MyTabButton.qml
won't result in a TabButton
, but instead an Item
containing a TabButton
, but with this, your TabBar
does not know what to do.
So your file will need to have TabButton
as root element
//MyTabButton.qml
import QtQuick 2.4
import QtQuick.Controls 2.2
TabButton
{
id: tabBtn
// customize as you like
}
Then you create a Component of this in your file where you want to use it. (e.g. main.qml)
import QtQuick 2.4
import QtQuick.Controls 2.0
ApplicationWindow {
width: 800
height: 600
visible: true
TabBar {
id: tabBar
width: 800
height: 50
}
// The component is like a factory for MyTabButtons now.
// Use myTabButton.createObject(parent, jsobject-with-property-assignments) to create instances.
Component {
id: myTabButton
MyTabButton {
/// EDIT ACCORDING TO YOUR COMMENTS ***
Connections {
target: tabBar
onCurrentIndexChanged: doSomething()
}
/// EDIT OVER
}
}
Button {
anchors.centerIn: parent
// Create a object out of the component, and add it to the container
onClicked: tabBar.addItem(myTabButton.createObject(tabBar /*, { object to set properties }*/))
}
}
