Cascades Development

[laxad]

I am trying to access one of the QML elements using C++ code. I have read a lot of forums and the developer guide - specifically the part on how to make QML and C++ work together.

This is my code:

    QmlDocument *qml = QmlDocument::create("asset:///main.qml").parent(this);
    AbstractPane *root = qml->createRootObject<AbstractPane>();
    ListView *listView = root->findChild<ListView*>("eventsList");
    listView->setDataModel(groupDataModel);

And I get ...

error: no matching function for call to 'bb::cascades::AbstractPane::findChild(const char [11])'
candidate is: /Applications/bbndk/target_10_0_9_1101/qnx6/usr/include/qt4/QtCore/qobject.h:158:14: note: template<class T> T QObject::findChild(const QString&) const

The above code is the recommended way to get QML element from what I read.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Dax

make sure you have the appropriate classes and namespaces imported and in use, that would cause it to complain about T since it wouldnt know that it was a valid argument.

I have created the default empty project template from Momentics IDE (Beta 4) and added the one line below:

    ListView *listView = root->findChild<ListView*>("eventsList");

With the default empty project template, how can I get an error?
I have the default imports:

#include <bb/cascades/Application>
#include <bb/cascades/QmlDocument>
#include <bb/cascades/AbstractPane>

using namespace bb::cascades;

Are there additional imports/namespaces I need to add to this?
