                        listView.currentIndex = index;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }


    states: State {
        name: "dropDown";
        PropertyChanges { target: dropDown; height:30*comboBox.items.length }
    }

    transitions: Transition {
        NumberAnimation { target: dropDown; properties: "height"; easing.type: Easing.OutExpo; duration: 1000 }
     }
  }

}

How can I pass the data [1,2,3] into this line property variant items:[1,2,3] from an another page?

Below is how I will be going to use the code in another page:
DropDown.qml{ }

Is there a way by which I can pass the data [1,2,3] inside the above code?

Answer 1

You can add a setItems() function in the root rectangle of DropDown which would be something like this

import QtQuick 1.1
Rectangle {
     width:parent.width
     height: parent.height
     color:"transparent"
     function setItems(items_arg){
         comboBox.items = items_arg
     } 
Rectangle {
    id:comboBox
    property variant items:[1,2,3]
}

and in your main.qml or any other qml file you could do this

Rectangle {
    DropDown{
        id: dd
        anchors.fill: parent
    }
    Component.onCompleted: {
        dd.setItems([1, 5, 2, 1, 68, 12])
    }
}
