Automatic row wrapping on elements in QML layout - qml

Is there a QML layout or some configuration that will automatically wrap QML items to the next row if the width of the next element exceeds the width of the specified layout?
When I use a QML GridLayout, the items just go off the edge of the window and are clipped:
GridLayout {
id: header_focused_container;
width: parent.width;
anchors.margins: 20;
Text {
text: "header_focused_container.width=" +
header_focused_container.width +
" and my width is =" + width
}
Rectangle { height:20; width:250; color: "red" }
Rectangle { height:20; width:250; color: "blue" }
Rectangle { height:20; width:250; color: "green" }
}
When I look at Qt's documentation page labeled "Scalability" I see very manual scaling going on. Basically, they're suggesting that I need compute the needed columns.
Is there some sort of layout type or configuration that will do auto-wrapping of the items?

You can use Flow:
import QtQuick 2.5
import QtQuick.Window 2.0
Window {
visible: true
width: 400
height: 200
Flow {
id: header_focused_container
anchors.fill: parent
Text {
text: "blah"
}
Rectangle { height:20; width:250; color: "red" }
Rectangle { height:20; width:250; color: "blue" }
Rectangle { height:20; width:250; color: "green" }
}
}

How to keep qml Rectangle border from overlapping contents?

I want a Rectangle to auto-size itself to fit exactly around its visual children. If there is no border, then the following works great:
Rectangle {
width: childrenRect.width+(border.width*2)
height: childrenRect.height+(border.width*2)
...
}
HOWEVER, if the Rectangle has a border, the children will overlap it. I tried unsuccessfully wrapping the children in a container (Column in the example below) and using anchor.margins to shift the container over to miss the Rectangle's borders.
import QtQuick 2.7
import QtQuick.Controls 2.0
import QtQuick.Layouts 1.3
ApplicationWindow {
visible: true
width: 600; height: 600
Rectangle {
id: rect
border.width : 20
border.color: "yellow"
clip: true
width: childrenRect.width+(border.width*2)
height: childrenRect.height+(border.width*2)
Column {
anchors.margins: rect.border.width // does not work
Text { height: 40; text: "FoooooooooooooooMumble" }
Text { height: 40; text: "Bar" }
Button { height: 40; text: "press me" }
}
}
}
Can someone suggest how to do this?
For anchors.margins to work, the border anchors must be set (the margin space is relative to those). For example:
Column {
anchors.margins: rect.border.width
anchors.left: rect.left
anchors.top: rect.top
...
}

Unable to position custom styled Tumbler

I am trying to give a Tumbler my own style. I declare the Tumbler like this:
Tumbler {
style: MyTumblerStyle {}
height: UIConstants.smallFontSize * 10
width: UIConstants.smallFontSize * 3
TumblerColumn {
model: [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24]
}
}
where MyTymblerStyle is defined like this:
TumblerStyle {
id: root
visibleItemCount: 5
background: Rectangle {}
foreground: Item {}
frame: Item {}
highlight: Item {}
delegate: Item {
id: delRoot
implicitHeight: (control.height) / root.visibleItemCount
Item {
anchors.fill: parent
Text {
text: styleData.value
font.pixelSize: UIConstants.smallFontSize
font.family: UIConstants.robotoregular
anchors.centerIn: parent
scale: 1.0 + Math.max(0, 1 - Math.abs(styleData.displacement)) * 0.6
color: styleData.current?UIConstants.color:"black"
opacity: 1 - Math.abs(styleData.displacement/(root.visibleItemCount-3))
}
}
}
}
I use it in a Row like this:
Row {
MyTumbler {}
StandardText {
color: UIConstants.color
text: "Uhr"
}
}
Now, the result looks like this:
As you can see, the "Uhr" text center is aligned to the top of the Tumbler. Also the Row does not seem to recognize the real width of the Tumbler.
Why? It does work when I do not use MyTumblerStyle.
The problem isn't your style, it's the width assignment.
It helps to break out the Rectangles at a time like this:
import QtQuick 2.4
import QtQuick.Controls 1.3
import QtQuick.Extras 1.3
ApplicationWindow {
title: qsTr("Hello World")
width: 300
height: 600
visible: true
Column {
anchors.centerIn: parent
Tumbler {
id: tumbler
width: 30
TumblerColumn {
model: 25
}
Component.onCompleted: print(width, height, implicitWidth, implicitHeight)
}
Rectangle {
width: tumbler.implicitWidth
height: tumbler.implicitHeight
color: "transparent"
border.color: "blue"
Text {
text: "Tumbler implicit size"
anchors.fill: parent
wrapMode: Text.Wrap
}
}
Rectangle {
width: tumbler.width
height: tumbler.height
color: "transparent"
border.color: "blue"
Text {
text: "The size you gave"
anchors.fill: parent
wrapMode: Text.Wrap
}
}
}
}
(I don't have access to UIConstants, so I guess the width you set)
The implicitWidth of Tumbler is calculated based on the width of each individual TumblerColumn. This allows you to set individual widths for columns, something that is necessary for scenarios where some are wider than others, for example:
So, you should also set the width of your column, or, preferably, only set the width of your column, and not the entire Tumbler:
import QtQuick 2.4
import QtQuick.Controls 1.3
import QtQuick.Extras 1.3
ApplicationWindow {
width: 300
height: 600
visible: true
Row {
anchors.centerIn: parent
Tumbler {
id: tumbler
TumblerColumn {
model: 25
width: 30
}
}
Text {
text: "Uhr"
}
}
}
This also explains why the Text is weirdly positioned; the Row sees 30 pixels, but the column still has its original (much wider) width.

Animating using NumberAnimation and Behavior

I'm trying to understand the functionality of Behavior by animating a small Rectangle when it's property changes.
Consider the following example:
import QtQuick 2.4
import QtQuick.Controls 1.2
Item {
width: 600
height: 80
Rectangle {
id: rect
color: "red"
width: 20
height: 20
property int xval: 0
Behavior on xval {
NumberAnimation {
target: rect
property: "x"
to: rect.xval
duration: 2000
easing.type: Easing.InOutQuad
}
}
}
Button {
anchors.bottom: parent.bottom
onClicked: { rect.xval=250 }
}
}
Here I'm trying to animate the x property of the Item rect on Button Click. But it doesnot animate. Now if you replace
to: rect.xval
with
to: 400
The Rectangle animates as expected on Button Click. All I want to do is to animate the Rectangle using the value set by the user. Am I missing something ?
You don't need a extra property to animate a property.
Behavior on foo will animate foo whenever it changes its value and make it the implicit property of inner Animations.
Your code can simply be
Item {
width: 600
height: 80
Rectangle {
id: rect
color: "red"
width: 20
height: 20
Behavior on x {
NumberAnimation {
duration: 2000
easing.type: Easing.InOutQuad
}
}
}
Button {
anchors.bottom: parent.bottom
onClicked: { rect.x=250 }
}
}

Detect Clicks outside QML Window

How do i detect clicks outside Window {} in QML ?
Rectangle {
id: topLevel
height: 400; width: 400
Window {
id: windowObj
color: "blue"
height: 200; width: 200
onActiveChanged { console.trace(); visible = false; }
}
Component.onCompleted: windowObj.visible = true
}
Suppose I click on some part of topLevel outside windowObj.
onActiveChanged works on Windows but not on MAC.
{Using: QtQuick 2.1, QtQuick.Window 2.1, QML/Qt 5.2.0}
Put a MouseArea in your topLevel Rectangle and let the event pass through
Rectangle {
id: topLevel
MouseArea{
anchors.fill : topLevel
propagateComposedEvents : true
onClicked : console.log("clickoutside");
}
Window {
id: windowObj
color: "blue"
height: 200; width: 200
onActiveChanged { console.trace(); visible = false; }
}
}

Customized radio button in qml

I want a window with 3 push button but this push buttons should work like radio button!
so this is my code:
Rectangle {
id: sideButton
color: sideButtonMouseArea.containsMouse ? '#DDDDDD' : '#F4F4F4'
property string text: 'Button'
MouseArea {
id: sideButtonMouseArea
anchors.fill: parent
hoverEnabled: true
onClicked: {
parent.color = '#4872E8'
sideButtonLabel.color = '#E2EBFC'
}
}
Text {
id: sideButtonLabel
text: sideButton.text
font.pixelSize: 20
font.family: 'Tahoma'
anchors.centerIn: sideButton
color: '#787878'
}
}
I use this rectangle instead button but it has a proble when click on other button for 2end time
how could i fix it?
This code works for me:
MyRadioGroup.qml
import QtQuick 1.0
QtObject {
property Item selected : null
}
MyRadioButton.qml
import QtQuick 1.0
Rectangle {
id: sideButton
property string text: 'Button'
property MyRadioGroup radioGroup
color: radioGroup.selected === sideButton ? '#E2EBFC' :
(sideButtonMouseArea.containsMouse ? '#DDDDDD' : '#F4F4F4')
MouseArea {
id: sideButtonMouseArea
anchors.fill: parent
hoverEnabled: true
onClicked: sideButton.radioGroup.selected = sideButton
}
Text {
id: sideButtonLabel
text: sideButton.text
font.pixelSize: 20
font.family: 'Tahoma'
anchors.centerIn: sideButton
color: radioGroup.selected === sideButton ? '#E2EBFC' : '#787878'
}
}
main.qml
import QtQuick 1.0
Rectangle {
height: 600
width: 600
MyRadioGroup {
id: radioGroup1
}
Column {
anchors.fill: parent
MyRadioButton {
anchors { left: parent.left; right: parent.right }
text: "Button 1"
radioGroup: radioGroup1
height: 100
}
MyRadioButton {
anchors { left: parent.left; right: parent.right }
text: "Button 2"
radioGroup: radioGroup1
height: 100
}
MyRadioButton {
anchors { left: parent.left; right: parent.right }
text: "Button 3"
radioGroup: radioGroup1
height: 100
}
MyRadioButton {
anchors { left: parent.left; right: parent.right }
text: "Button 4"
radioGroup: radioGroup1
height: 100
}
}
}
What it does: I've created container MyRadioGroup to hold currently selected item. Then, I declaratively bind its selected property with color property of my MyRadioButton-s, so it will update on every selected change.
Having that said, please check, that you component provider doesn't already contain some stuff like this --- maybe you are reinventing the wheel.
