Custom ListModel and QML

[kernel_panic]

Hi,

i want to have a qml list managed by a custom list model (because the qml listmodel is just for static data?).
The list items should be more than just items painted to a view, i need to have buttons and other elements displayed and connected to other objects, instanciated in c++.

So in the Model i have to create a c++ object that handles the functionality and create a qml object that handles the view (as list item) and bind them to each other using signals and slots.

Is it possible to do something like that or is there an easier way? The processes that should be connected to the gui elements of each list item are provided by c++ classes that i would rather not implement newly in javascript/qml.

The effort should be minimal cause it's just a gui remake.

Cheers,
Kernel

Models are containers for data and their roles. Nothing more. Data from the list items populating the model are typically wrapped in a QML delegate. If a delegate has a MouseArea element, for example, then the corresponding onClicked functionality is defined there, even if it consists of nothing more than propagating the clicked signal for handling elsewhere, i.e. in another element of the delegate, in a view, or even in C++ code.

As for communication between QML and C++, make sure you read this thoroughly.
