I am writing a small application that is working as follows:
1) I launch the application and I select a robot to which I will connect. See print screen below of the small app:
2) That will lead me to another page where I can actually choose the robot to connect to as shown in the print screen below:
3) Finally after selecting the robot the application brings me back to the initial screen that will show me an additional Button
showing the chosen robot.
The problem: I have is that after I choose the robot and I am back to the initial screen and I push the button the color of the button should turn into a (for example) green color and changing the text into (for example) Connecting...
The code I am using is the following for which I am only putting the related part:
import QtQuick 2.12
import QtQuick.Controls 2.12
import QtQuick.Layouts 1.12
import QtQuick.Controls.Styles 1.4
Page {
property int dialogId: -1
signal selectDialog()
ColumnLayout {
anchors.fill: parent
spacing: 5
Button {
id: button1
text: "Select Robot"
onClicked: selectDialog()
Layout.fillWidth: true
font.pointSize: 20
}
Button {
id: dialogA
text: "FreddieMercury: Connect";
visible: dialogId === 1
Layout.fillWidth: true
font.pointSize: 20
function buttonClick()
{
console.log("Button "+ dialogA.text +" is clicked!")
}
Rectangle {
id: button
color: "red"
width: 96; height: 24; anchors.centerIn: parent
MouseArea {
id: region
anchors.fill: parent;
onClicked: console.log("clicked()")
onPressed: dialogA.color = "green"
onReleased: dialogA.color = "red"
}
Text {
id: st_text
anchors.centerIn: parent
text: "Connecting..."
font.bold: true
font.pointSize: 20
color: "green"
}
}
}
// Other Buttons
}
}
What I tried so far
I went through this source and also this post which I followed. As you can see from the point 3) I am close to the good functioning but there is clearly something I am not doing right.
Also this was useful and in fact I used the MouseArea
option exactly from that post.
However I still don't see the whole color extended into the button.
Finally the text changed after the click event happened I included it in the Button
as shown and thought that the property text: "Connecting..."
was enough to overwrite the existing text but without success.
Please advise on what I am missing that is keeping me from a full working example.
