New states can be defined by adding State items to the <a href="qml-qtquick-item.html#states-prop">states</a> property to allow items to switch between different configurations. These configurations can, for example, be used to apply different sets of property values or execute different scripts.</p> <p>The following example displays a single <a href="qml-qtquick-rectangle.html">Rectangle</a>. In the default state, the rectangle is colored black. In the "clicked" state, a <a href="qml-qtquick-propertychanges.html">PropertyChanges</a> object changes the rectangle's color to red. Clicking within the <a href="qml-qtquick-mousearea.html">MouseArea</a> toggles the rectangle's state between the default state and the "clicked" state, thus toggling the color of the rectangle between black and red.</p> <pre class="qml"> import QtQuick 2.0 Rectangle { id: myRect width: 100; height: 100 color: "black" MouseArea { id: mouseArea anchors.fill: parent onClicked: myRect.state == 'clicked' ? myRect.state = "" : myRect.state = 'clicked'; } states: [ State { name: "clicked" PropertyChanges { target: myRect; color: "red" } } ] } </pre> <p>Notice the default state is referred to using an empty string ("").</p> <p>States are commonly used together with <a href="qtquick-statesanimations-animations.html">Transitions</a> to provide animations when state changes occur.</p> <p><b>Note: </b>Setting the state of an object from within another state of the same object is not allowed.</p><p><b>See also </b><a href="qtquick-animation-example.html#states">States example</a>, <a href="qtquick-statesanimations-states.html">Qt Quick States</a>, <a href="qtquick-statesanimations-animations.html">Transitions</a>, and Qt QML.</p> <!-- @@@State --> <h2>Property Documentation</h2> <!-- $$$changes --> <div class="qmlitem"><div class="qmlproto"> <div class="table"><table class="qmlname"> <tr valign="top" class="odd" id="changes-prop"> <td class="tblQmlPropNode"><p> <a name="changes-prop"></a><span class="qmldefault">[default] </span><span class="name">changes</span> : <span class="type">list</span><<span class="type">Change</span>></p></td></tr> </table></div> </div><div class="qmldoc"><p>This property holds the changes to apply for this state</p> <p>By default these changes are applied against the default state.
