[Qt-qml] Extending state in a descendant

[Artem Marchenko]

Hi All

I have a hierarchy of layouts extending each other so that I could have a Base layout and minor modifications specific to the platform. For example, in Symbian I prefer drawing statusLine myself, while on Maemo I am happy with the system one. There are also minor portait-landscape differences here and there.

So I define portrait/landscape states in Base.qml and try extending them in Symbian.qml/Maemo.qml and.. I don't know how to do it.

Is it possible to somehow add changes to an existing state?

==Base.qml==
Rectangle {
...
states: [
        State {
            id: stateLandscape
            name: "landscape"
	    when: isInLandscape

		PropertyChanges {
...

}


==Maemo.qml==
Base {

// states: null - that modification is possible

 states: [  // somehow it doesn't change the existing states. Base's "landscape" state still exists
   State {
     name: "maemoLandscape"
     when: isInLandscape  // then it's never activated, Base's state with the same condition is activated first
                                         // or maybe maemoLandscape is never even added the states list?
  }
]

AnchorChanges {
   parent: stateLandscape  // that I also tried, but it doesn't work as changes are not visual and don't have a parent property
  ...
}

}

Best regards,
Artem.
