I'm using Qt 5.10.1 with Qt Creator 4.5.1 and the style property is never available in elements.
For example, as shown here ButtonStyle QML Type , I would like to do:
Button {
text: "A button"
style: ButtonStyle {...}
}
But, I get the error:
Cannot assign to non-existent property "style"
I tried with a rectangle, progressbar and I get the same error.
Edit #1:
I do have all these imports. If the import was missing, I would get the error on ButtonStyle , but the error is on style.
import QtQuick 2.2
import QtQuick.Controls 2.3
import QtQuick.Dialogs 1.0
import QtGraphicalEffects 1.0
import QtQuick.Shapes 1.0
import QtQuick.Layouts 1.3
import QtQuick.Controls.Styles 1.4
There are 2 types of Buttons in QML:
- Button Qt Quick Controls 2: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5.10/qml-qtquick-controls2-button.html
- Button Qt Quick Controls: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-controls-button.html
In your case, you are importing the Qt QuickControls 2 Button: import QtQuick.Controls 2.3
, and that Button does not have the style
attribute.
If you need to use the style you must import:
import QtQuick.Controls 1.4
instead of:
import QtQuick.Controls 2.3
If you are using items from Qt Quick Controls and Qt Quick Controls 2 you could separate them using a namespace:
import QtQuick.Controls 2.3 as QQC2
import QtQuick.Controls 1.4 as QQC1
QQC1.Button {
text: "A button"
style: ButtonStyle {...}
}
QQC2.another_item_of_Qt_Quick_Controls2{
}
You can customize Qt Quick Controls 2
button by modifying its two visual items of background and content item:
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtquickcontrols2-customize.html#customizing-button
import QtQuick 2.12
import QtQuick.Controls 2.12
Button {
id: control
text: qsTr("Button")
contentItem: Text {
text: control.text
font: control.font
opacity: enabled ? 1.0 : 0.3
color: control.down ? "#17a81a" : "#21be2b"
horizontalAlignment: Text.AlignHCenter
verticalAlignment: Text.AlignVCenter
elide: Text.ElideRight
}
background: Rectangle {
implicitWidth: 100
implicitHeight: 40
opacity: enabled ? 1 : 0.3
border.color: control.down ? "#17a81a" : "#21be2b"
border.width: 1
radius: 2
}
}
Make sure importing QtQuick.Controls.Styles
import QtQuick.Controls.Styles 1.4
Button {
text: "A button"
style: ButtonStyle {...}
}
