There are some things that just always happen in main.cpp, this is particularly true for QML stuff that happens for engine initialization.
It would be cool if: 1. There was a wizard/automated way to add a QObject-derived class to the main. 1a. Insert #include <QQmlEngine> if needed 1b. insert qmlRegisterType<MyObject>("com.mycompany.%PROJECTNAME%", 1, 0, "MyObject"); 2. Support the other QML registration functions qmlRegisterSingletonType 3. Register Enums and the like. There may be other non-QML template stuff appropriate in main. I don't know if this is hard or not but if there was a section: /* Begin QtCreator Wizard Generated code. Do not edit, code managed by QtCreator */ qmlRegisterType<MyObject>("com.mycompany.%PROJECTNAME%", 1, 0, "MyObject"); /* End QtCreator Wizard Generated code */ I also saw on stack exchange https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20089196/how-to-access-c-enum-from-qml where the example has a static declareQML() function that registers itself. I don't know if this is preferred or not. Seems like more code and would make something like this harder. But if that is to continue, maybe have a thing in the class creation wizard to do that, or use that as the place to trigger the qmlRegisterType in main.cpp? _______________________________________________ Qt-creator mailing list Qt-creator@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/qt-creator
