that looks like quite a hack, create the page dynamically, hand a reference to the c++ and use findChild on this reference.

I begin to understand why Paul suggests to solve it some other way

[pskarton]

The context property for _locationDiagnostics is set in main.cpp and refrenced in main.qml.

The documentation says to import the context. Why does this work without the import?

It certainly doesn't work for me with the import because it tries to find the import before the context is created.

So when is the import required and when is it not required?

Reading through this:

I think the difference is when you:

qmlRegisterType

you need to import.  If you setContextProperty of a qml - you don't for it or it's children.
