I have 2 qml files. One containing a tabbed pane (tabbedMenu.qml) and the other (ContentContainer.qml) with a container containing a label.

I use the ContentContainer.qml as a template for the tabbedPane pages like so :
 

(ContentContainer.qml)
Contains a label with id headerLabel

(tabbedMenu.qml) 

TabbedPane {
     Page {
          id: connectTab
          paneProperties: TabbedPaneProperties {
               title: "Tab"
          }

          content: ContentContainer {  
               id: connectContent
               Label {
                    id: testLabelID
                    text: "Text"
               }
         }
     }
...

Is there a way to update headerLabel's value from tabbedMenu.qml when a tab is changed?

I figured it out. I just used a C++ class, registered it as a property and used the class variables to manipulate the variables on the QML side. 

See https://bdsc.webapps.blackberry.com/cascades/documentation/ui/integrating_cpp_qml/index.html for an example

This sounds like a case where you could "bind" a property to the parent container, something like putting "property string myLabel: headerLabel.value" (not exact code) in the ContentContainer. Then you can reference it from other file using "connectContent.myLabel".

I think the section on "Accessing a component's properties" in https://bdsc.webapps.blackberry.com/cascades/documentation/ui/custom_components/index.html describes this...

Any help?
