[Interest] QQuickTextNode not reachable from QQuickItem

[rpzrpzrpz at gmail.com]

Dmitry:

When you are trying to have the text an active part of the control, 
responding to mouse/touch events in coordination with the changing 
Geometry nodes as they occur.

So in essence, the lack of access to the QQuickTextNode means that the 
most control is in QuickPaintedItem, but that method has unknown 
performance limits
as compared to the super speedy scenegraph.

Trying to emit signals out of the QuickItem means that your text is 
lagging the QuickItem and now you have quite a code pattern going that 
is kluge at best.

I will try to skin the cat using QuickPaintedItem for now.

Don't you think its time for text to be under the control of QQuickItem?

We need QSGTextNode for that.

Thanks for the response.

Mark
