QTreeView QML plugin with QFileSystemModel

 

Hello everybody. I’m trying to incorporate a Model/View into an application using QTreeView, QFileSystemModel and qmlRegisterType to create the QTreeView plugin.

If my main.qml looks like this:

I get a QTreeView displayed looking like this:

However, when my main.qml looks like this:

All I get is this…

I am not able to insert the “TreeView” into the rest of my QML and I can’t figure out why.

If I try to add a property change to x, y, width or height, for example:

I get error: Invalid property assignment: “x” is a read-only property

Of course I will post plenty more code if someone thinks they might be able to help.

The application already uses a QDeclarativeView with an OpenGL backend like so:

There is of course a bit more code involving setting the FileSystemModel, etc, but I don’t believe it is relevant. I am really quite baffled here. Obviously, I need the QTreeView to show within the rest of my QML or there really is no point.

If anyone could point me to a way to do this, I would very much appreciate it. I’m pretty new to Qt and I readily admit that I sometimes have no idea what is going on “under the hood”, especially when it comes to the whole MOC file paradigm.

Whatever way I can get this done is fine with me. I really thought the plugin (qmlRegisterType) method was the way to go, because I’m using it to create an OpenGL window for animations in a separate part of the app, but, as you can see, it ain’t working.

Thanks for your help!
