It sounds like you want to create a QML module. The docs for that are Qt 5: http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtqml/qtqml-modules-topic.html Qt 4: http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qdeclarativemodules.html#qml-modules If the Qt 5 one is confusing try reading the Qt 4 one (even for Qt 5). It shouldn't be confusing, but the docs got reorganized between 4 and 5 despite little actually changing about how QML modules work. So the Qt 4 doc should still be applicable. IIRC there's also a simple example in qtdeclarative/examples/qml/plugins which creates a module containing both C++ and QML types. The KDE plasma package stuff builds on top of QML modules, so is worth looking into if you need some functionality that plain QML modules don't provide. I think the main features plasma packages add is a bundled file format and better scope for platform independence. -- Alan Alpert _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
