It is purely a syntactic simplification, the behavior is identical to specifying the property by name, but it can add a more natural feel in many situations. The default property must be either an object or list property.</p> <a name="running-the-example"></a> <h2>Running the example</h2> <p>The main.cpp file in the example includes a simple shell application that loads and runs the QML snippet shown at the beginning of this page.</p> </div> <!-- @@@declarative/cppextensions/referenceexamples/default --> </div> </div> </div> <div class="ft"> <span></span> </div> </div> <div class="footer"> <p> <acronym title="Copyright">©</acronym> 2013 Digia Plc and/or its subsidiaries.
