To effectively gain private properties in a QML Item, the +convention is to add a QtObject{} child to contain the properties. This shields them from being accessed outside the file in QML and JavaScript. As it involves the creation of another object, it is more expensive than just creating a property. To minimize the performance cost, try to group all private properties in one file into the same QtObject. \snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/codingconventions/private.qml 0 |
