<a name="details"></a>
<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<a name="qmlglobalqtobject"></a><p>The <tt>Qt</tt> object is a global object with utility functions, properties and enums.</p>
<p>It is not instantiable; to use it, call the members of the global <tt>Qt</tt> object directly. For example:</p>
<pre class="qml"> import QtQuick 1.0
<span class="type"><a href="qml-text.html">Text</a></span> {
<span class="name">color</span>: <span class="name">Qt</span>.<span class="name">rgba</span>(<span class="number">1</span>, <span class="number">0</span>, <span class="number">0</span>, <span class="number">1</span>)
<span class="name">text</span>: <span class="name">Qt</span>.<span class="name">md5</span>(<span class="string">"hello, world"</span>)
}</pre>
<a name="enums"></a>
<h2>Enums</h2>
<p>The Qt object contains the enums available in the <a href="qt.html#qt-namespace">Qt Namespace</a>. For example, you can access the <a href="qt.html#MouseButton-enum">Qt::LeftButton</a> and <a href="qt.html#MouseButton-enum">Qt::RightButton</a> enum values as <tt>Qt.LeftButton</tt> and <tt>Qt.RightButton</tt>.</p>
<a name="types"></a>
<h2>Types</h2>
<p>The Qt object also contains helper functions for creating objects of specific data types. This is primarily useful when setting the properties of an item when the property has one of the following types:</p>
<ul>
<li><tt>color</tt> - use <a href="qml-qt.html#rgba-method">Qt.rgba()</a>, <a href="qml-qt.html#hsla-method">Qt.hsla()</a>, <a href="qml-qt.html#darker-method">Qt.darker()</a>, <a href="qml-qt.html#lighter-method">Qt.lighter()</a> or <a href="qml-qt.html#tint-method">Qt.tint()</a></li>
<li><tt>rect</tt> - use <a href="qml-qt.html#rect-method">Qt.rect()</a></li>
<li><tt>point</tt> - use <a href="qml-qt.html#point-method">Qt.point()</a></li>
<li><tt>size</tt> - use <a href="qml-qt.html#size-method">Qt.size()</a></li>
<li><tt>vector3d</tt> - use <a href="qml-qt.html#vector3d-method">Qt.vector3d()</a></li>
</ul>
<p>There are also string based constructors for these types. See <a href="qdeclarativebasictypes.html">QML Basic Types</a> for more information.</p>
<a name="date-time-formatters"></a>
<h2>Date/Time Formatters</h2>
<p>The Qt object contains several functions for formatting <a href="qdatetime.html">QDateTime</a>, <a href="qdate.html">QDate</a> and <a href="qtime.html">QTime</a> values.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="qml-qt.html#formatDateTime-method">string Qt.formatDateTime(datetime date, variant format)</a></li>
<li><a href="qml-qt.html#formatDate-method">string Qt.formatDate(datetime date, variant format)</a></li>
<li><a href="qml-qt.html#formatTime-method">string Qt.formatTime(datetime date, variant format)</a></li>
</ul>
<p>The format specification is described at <a href="qml-qt.html#formatDateTime-method">Qt.formatDateTime</a>.</p>
<a name="dynamic-object-creation"></a>
<h2>Dynamic Object Creation</h2>
<p>The following functions on the global object allow you to dynamically create QML items from files or strings. See <a href="qdeclarativedynamicobjects.html">Dynamic Object Management in QML</a> for an overview of their use.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="qml-qt.html#createComponent-method">object Qt.createComponent(url)</a></li>
<li><a href="qml-qt.html#createQmlObject-method">object Qt.createQmlObject(string qml, object parent, string filepath)</a></li>
</ul>

<p>Its properties are:</p>
<table class="generic">
<tr valign="top" class="odd"><td ><tt>application.active</tt></td><td >This read-only property indicates whether the application is the top-most and focused application, and the user is able to interact with the application. The property is false when the application is in the background, the device keylock or screen saver is active, the screen backlight is turned off, or the global system dialog is being displayed on top of the application. It can be used for stopping and pausing animations, timers and active processing of data in order to save device battery power and free device memory and processor load when the application is not active.</td></tr>
<tr valign="top" class="even"><td ><tt>application.layoutDirection</tt></td><td >This read-only property can be used to query the default layout direction of the application. On system start-up, the default layout direction depends on the application's language. The property has a value of <tt>Qt.RightToLeft</tt> in locales where text and graphic elements are read from right to left, and <tt>Qt.LeftToRight</tt> where the reading direction flows from left to right. You can bind to this property to customize your application layouts to support both layout directions.<p>Possible values are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Qt.LeftToRight - Text and graphics elements should be positioned from left to right.</li>
<li>Qt.RightToLeft - Text and graphics elements should be positioned from right to left.</li>
</ul>
</td></tr>

<p>The following example uses the <tt>application</tt> object to indicate whether the application is currently active:</p>

<p>In the case of an error, a <a href="qtscript.html">QtScript</a> Error object is thrown. This object has an additional property, <tt>qmlErrors</tt>, which is an array of the errors encountered. Each object in this array has the members <tt>lineNumber</tt>, <tt>columnNumber</tt>, <tt>fileName</tt> and <tt>message</tt>. For example, if the above snippet had misspelled color as 'colro' then the array would contain an object like the following: { "lineNumber" : 1, "columnNumber" : 32, "fileName" : "dynamicSnippet1", "message" : "Cannot assign to non-existent property "colro""}.</p>
<p>Note that this function returns immediately, and therefore may not work if the <i>qml</i> string loads new components (that is, external QML files that have not yet been loaded). If this is the case, consider using <a href="qml-qt.html#createComponent-method">Qt.createComponent()</a> instead.</p>
