You might want to read up on how to expose methods or properties from C++ to Qt Quick:
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtqml/qtqml-cppintegration-exposecppattributes.html

Note that the "Text" example provided with Qt Quick Controls is using a C++ backend. 
(though we left AboutQt() as an exercise to the reader)
