    Detailed Description

    Item (and all derived elements) provides built in support for states and transitions via its state, states and transitions properties. StateGroup provides an easy way to use this support in other (non-Item-derived) elements.

     MyCustomObject {
         StateGroup {
             id: myStateGroup
             states: State {
                 name: "state1"
                 ...
             }
             transitions: Transition {
                 ...
             }
         }
    
         onSomethingHappened: myStateGroup.state = "state1";
     }

    Property Documentation

    state : string

    This property holds the name of the current state of the state group.

    This property is often used in scripts to change between states. For example:

     function toggle() {
         if (button.state == 'On')
             button.state = 'Off';
         else
             button.state = 'On';
     }

    If the state group is in its base state (i.e. no explicit state has been set), state will be a blank string. Likewise, you can return a state group to its base state by setting its current state to ''.

    See also States.


    read-onlystates : list<State>

    This property holds a list of states defined by the state group.

     StateGroup {
       states: [
         State { ... },
         State { ... }
         ...
       ]
     }

    See also States.


    read-onlytransitions : list<Transition>

    This property holds a list of transitions defined by the state group.

     StateGroup {
       transitions: [
         Transition { ... },
         Transition { ... }
         ...
       ]
     }

    See also Transitions.
