"ActiveTextHandler is not a type" error

contryboy · ‎08-16-2012

Dear Devs,

I am encountering a weared problem, I intend to use the active text handler to handle the click of a href in html text, the code following is quite similiar to the sample from https://developer.blackberry.com/cascades/reference/bb__cascades__activetexthandler.html, how ever, when I tried to run it, the error occurs as "

ctiveTextHandler is not a type

activeTextHandler: ActiveTextHandler {

^)

bb::cascades::QmlDocument:createRootObject document is not loaded or has errors, can't create root "

Anyone has an idea of what is wrong here? Thanks.

TextArea {
    id: statusTextArea
    text: "<html><a href='testurl'>test</a></html>"
    preferredWidth: 728
    inputMode: TextAreaInputMode.Text
    editable: false
    
    textStyle {
        fontSizeValue: 7
    }
    content {
        flags: TextContentFlag.ActiveText
    }
    activeTextHandler: ActiveTextHandler {
        onTriggered: {
            //do something
        }
    }
}

Thanks,

Dong

Anyone has an idea of the ActiveTextHandler issue?

Finally I found a workaround, you need to register the handler:

qmlRegisterType<ActiveTextHandler>("bb.cascades.activetexthandler", 1, 0, "ActiveTextHandler");
qmlRegisterUncreatableType<ActiveTextTriggeredEvent>("bb.cascades.activetexthandler", 1, 0, "ActiveTextTriggeredEvent", "");

And then import it in QML:

import bb.cascades.activetexthandler 1.0

Then it will work as expected!

Cheers,

Dong
