Hello

I'm trying to read the Mainitem.qml mypref property from C++, but it does not work. Is it because the property is binded?
I have tried the following (obj being the current *QObject):

metaObject->property(i).read(obj).toString(); // i is the index of mrprefcolor

and

= obj->property("mrprefcolor").toString();

Any thoughts

Thanks;

Mut.

Aside from this not being valid QML, why do you want to do that?
It is most often a bad ideal to access QML instantiated objects from C++.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, this is a bad qml, just put it there to illustrate my issue.
I need to access the QML properties from within C++ due to internal needs of my application.

If you can't get it to work you might have to reevaluate the internal needs of your application.

Would be very easy to bind to the property of a custom object.
