Hi,

I want to pass the values of a listItem to a sheet using the context menu but I cannot access the property variant from within the action item.

I have a listview and within the listView I am using  StandardListItem.

Then within the StandardListItem I have defined my contextActions.

If I try to assign a value I receive the error: Error: Invalid write to global property "_contentView"

And if I try to use the property I receive the error: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: _contentView  

Here is the relevent section of my QML.

NavigationPane {
id: navMain
property variant _contentView

Page {
id: projectsListPage

Container {

ListView {
objectName: "projectsList"
id: projectsList

// The data model used defined in the attachedObjects for the list.
 dataModel: projectsModel

listItemComponents: [
ListItemComponent {
type: "item"
StandardListItem {

reserveImageSpace: false
title: {
ListItemData.name
}
contextActions: [
ActionSet {

 title: ListItemData.name 
ActionItem {
title: "View Details"
imageSource: "asset:///images/Edit.png"

onTriggered: {
var chosenItem = ListItemData;

  _contentView = chosenItem;
console.debug("test: "+_contentView.createDate);

projectDetailsClicked( _contentView)
//editProjectSheet.visible = true;
}
} 

There are no problems accessing the property variant from the listview signals such as onSelectionChanged so why not within the actionItem? 

Your help is appreciated, Thx.

Just curiosity:
What happens if you use navMain._contentView?

I get the following error:  ReferenceError: Can't find variable: navMain

Ok I am using the solution described here: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Cascades-Development/QML-Accessing-variables-defined-outside-...

But alas it is not the end of my issues

Hmm I just noticed this, I have this in my page's actionItem: 

ActionItem {
id: songs
ActionBar.placement: ActionBarPlacement.OnBar
title: "Songs"
onTriggered: {
contextProperty.breakString(_contentView.notes);
}
}

and that works fine, it passes the contentView to the function, does that mean that I am infact accessing it in the way you need? Or is this different.
