Further to Julien's answer - a simple way to achieve this is to use QQuickWidget to display the QML scene, and then add a regular QWidget as a child of the QQuickWidget. You can also add a simple intermediate QObject to anchor the QWidget to an item in the scene.
E.g.:
In main.qml:
Item {
... // layouts, extra items, what have you
Item
{
objectName: "layoutItem"
anchors.fill: parent
}
... // more layouts, extra items, etc.
}
widgetanchor.h:
class WidgetAnchor: public QObject
{
ptr<QWidget> _pWidget;
QPointer<QQuickItem> _pQuickItem;
public:
WidgetAnchor(QWidget* pWidget, QQuickItem* pItem)
: QObject(pWidget), _pWidget(pWidget), _pQuickItem(pItem)
{
connect(_pQuickItem, &QQuickItem::xChanged, this, &WidgetAnchor::updateGeometry);
connect(_pQuickItem, &QQuickItem::yChanged, this, &WidgetAnchor::updateGeometry);
connect(_pQuickItem, &QQuickItem::widthChanged, this, &WidgetAnchor::updateGeometry);
connect(_pQuickItem, &QQuickItem::heightChanged, this, &WidgetAnchor::updateGeometry);
updateGeometry();
}
private:
void updateGeometry()
{
if (_pQuickItem)
{
QRectF r = _pQuickItem->mapRectToItem(0, QRectF(_pQuickItem->x(), _pQuickItem->y(), _pQuickItem->width(), _pQuickItem->height()));
_pWidget->setGeometry(r.toRect());
}
}
};
In main.cpp:
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);
auto pqw = new QQuickWidget;
pqw->setSource(QUrl::fromLocalFile("main.qml"));
pqw->setResizeMode(QQuickWidget::SizeRootObjectToView);
pqw->setAttribute(Qt::WA_DeleteOnClose);
auto pOwt = new MyWidget(pqw);
if (auto pOverlayItem = pqw->rootObject()->findChild<QQuickItem*>("overlayItem"))
new WidgetAnchor(pOwt, pOverlayItem);
pqw->show();
return app.exec();
}
The documentation states that using QQuickWidget has advantages over QQuickView and QWidget::createWindowContainer, such as no restrictions on stacking order, but has a 'minor performance hit'.
Hope that helps.
