Wouldn't it make sense to just have an implicit parent that is the window size?

So in QML:
Rect {
width: parent.width
height: parent.height
}

Hi,

you're not looking for
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qdeclarativeview.html#ResizeMode-enum
(potentially combined with QWidget::showFullscreen) by any chance? this is what
qmlviewer (potentially with -fullscreen) also does for you.

Cheers,
Henrik

Cool. That'll work. Thanks.

Still might be useful to have more readily available though. A bit like
orientation is available through the 'runtime' property when using the QML
viewer.

If you have access to the QDeclarativeEngine, you can get that information very
easily by importing the QDesktopWidget from QApplication into the qml root
context, e.g. :

   QApplication app(argc, argv);
   QDeclarativeView view;
   view.engine()->rootContext()->setContextProperty( "desktop", app.desktop()
);

and then in your qml file e.g. :

   Rectangle {
       width: desktop.width; height: desktop.height
   }

Cheers,
Romain

Hi all,

Rather than hard coding the screen size in my QML, is there a way of
retrieving the application usable area? That is, the dimensions
available to the application once system ui furniture has been taken into
account?

Regards,

Simon
