Hello, i do not understand the behaviour of my compiled Qt-Quick-C++ application when using
property var ctx: getContext("2d") in a simple qml Canvas component. I do get run time errors qrc:/NotWorkingRectangle.qml:7:5: QML Canvas: Unable to use getContext() at this time, please wait for available: true qrc:/NotWorkingRectangle.qml:16: TypeError: Type error and nothing will be painted. If i use the same qml files with QML Scene tool everything is painted as expected and no run time errors are shown. Do you have any advice why? Minimal samples follow: main.cpp: ------------- #include <QApplication> #include <QQmlApplicationEngine> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { QApplication app(argc, argv); QQmlApplicationEngine engine; engine.load(QUrl(QStringLiteral("qrc:/main.qml"))); return app.exec(); } main.qml: -------------- import QtQuick 2.3 import QtQuick.Controls 1.2 ApplicationWindow { visible: true width: 640 height: 480 NotWorkingRectangle { } } NotWorkingRectangle.qml: ----------------------------------- import QtQuick 2.3 import QtQuick.Controls 1.2 Rectangle { anchors.fill: parent Canvas { property var ctx: getContext("2d") anchors.fill: parent onWidthChanged: { requestPaint() } onPaint: { myPaint() } function myPaint() { ctx.strokeStyle = "black" ctx.shadowBlur = 0 ctx.beginPath() ctx.moveTo(0, 0) ctx.lineTo(width/2, height/2) ctx.stroke() ctx.closePath() } } } In my real world component i have lots of painting functions and i do not want to pass the ctx element every time i want to use it. I also do not want to call getContext("2d") locally. I know it returns the same Object every next call but it is just code i would like to spare.
