Cascades Development

[JohnWS]

Hi,

I am going to port a qt application I developed to cascades today and would like a bit of advice.

In my qt app I had a custom QLabel class which just fired of a mouse event when it was pressed and I could figure out where the element was pressed by that qmouseevent and set it's background image accordingly.

How could I do this with cascades as I have quite a few of these custom buttons.

any suggestions appreciated.

I think that you can use ImageButton instead of QLabel cause ImageButton can automatically change the image by three status : defaultImageSource, pressedImageSource and disabledImageSource so that you don't need to handle of mouse event. I don't whether it can be your choice or not. thanks

Thanks javayoung for your reply,

I seen ImageButton but I have an image with 5 possible states depending on what area was touched, QLabel worked great for this.

anyone know of something simialr for cascades?

Can you add some rects to overlap those areas once the rect is clicked which can send signal to a slot to change the background image. Similar to this code:

Rectangle {
     id: forwarder
     width: 100; height: 100

     signal send()
     onSend: console.log("Send clicked")

     MouseArea {
         id: mousearea
         anchors.fill: parent
         onClicked: console.log("MouseArea clicked")
     }
     Component.onCompleted: {
         mousearea.clicked.connect(send)
     }
 }
