That's a hack, even in a Plasma 4 world. :) > With Plasma 5 I have found the following problems: > > 1.

Not possible, the QtQuick code's access to the C++ bits (Applet, Containment is now very limited by design). > 2. Current containments have not view() method and seems have not method to > set them hidding. Is there such ability in the current version? No, the separation between model (Plasma::Applet, Plasma::Containment, etc.) and the views (implemented in QtQuick) is deeper in Plasma 5, that's partly a conscious design decision, and partly mandated by moving everything to QtQuick. > Also I have looked at QML bindings, but didn't find any ability to > implement such functional too. That's not possible in Plasma 5, and it's a conscious design decision. Applets are not supposed to meddle with other applets, they're self-contained outbound, and managed by the surrounding containment. If applets started screwing around with each other, the situation would quickly become unmanageable. Let's take a step back, though. What do you actually want to achieve? Maybe there is a way to make that possible within the design of Plasma. Have you looked at desktop scripting to achieve what you are looking for?
