I'm just starting with QML. I've watched a lot of the videos from DevDays '10, read some of the documentation.
I've encountered this sample, showing a slider controlling a dial:
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qml-intro.html#analyzing-an-example-dial-control
For my application I want to implement a sort of QDial with my own "skin" (images) that is the actual manipulated control (unlike in the sample where it's only an indicator of the change in the slider). Can anyone give me some pointers about how to go about it?
I can guess that one way would be to use a MouseArea onPressed and translate the clicked position into the angle the dial needs to move in. But if there's a cooler way to do it with the whole QML magic flying around here, I'd love to know it.
