In the new version of QML 1.5.0, it is recommended to use the new syntax for connection e.g.
MouseArea {
Connections {
function onClicked (mouse) {foo (mouse)}
}
Using the "Qt Design Studio 1.5.0" or "Qt Creator 4.12.1" IDE I get this warning.
With the old syntax, connections are visible in the Form Editor -> Connection View window and nothing is displayed there after the change for a new one.
Form Editor -> Connection with old syntax.
Being in a UI file e.g. main.ui.qml
Old syntax:
I receive a message:
Implicitly defined onFoo properties in Connections are deprecated. Use this syntax instead: function onFoo (<arguments>) {...}
After correcting for the new syntax, the message is: Function are not supported on a Qt Quick UI Form. (M22). and now is no possibility to edit the window using Form Editor.
I also can't make a connection to property e.g.
property bool mouseEnable: false
Connections {
target: parent
function onMouseEnableChanged(parent)
}
This is probably intended to be a signal handler but no signal of the target matches the name.
It is possible to stay with the old syntax without displaying a warning or maybe someone knows how to use the new syntax without the above IDE errors?
