 \section1 Mouse Event Handling
-go over the slots and signals feature (without the C++)
+
+QML uses \l{QML Signal and Handler Event System}{signals and handlers} to
+deliver mouse interactions. Specifically, the \l MouseArea and \l MouseEvent
+elements provide QML components with signal handlers to accept mouse events
+within a defined area.
+
+\section1 Defining a Mouse Area
+
+The \l MouseArea element receives events within a defined area. One quick way
+to define this area is to anchor the \c MouseArea to its parent's area using the
+\c anchors.fill property. If the parent is a \l Rectangle (or any \l Item
+component), then the MouseArea will fill the area defined by the parent's
+dimensions. Alternatively, an area smaller or larger than the parent is
+definable.
+\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/mouse.qml anchor fill
+
+\section1 Receiving Events
+
+The MouseArea element provides
+\l{QML Signal and Handler Event System}{signals and handlers} to detect different
+mouse events. The \l MouseArea element documentation describes these
+gestures in greater detail.
+
+\list Mouse Gestures
+\o canceled
+\o clicked
+\o doubleClicked
+\o entered
+\o exited
+\o positionChanged
+\o pressAndHold
+\o pressed
+\o released
+\endlist
+
+These signals have signal handlers that are invoked when the signals are emitted.
+\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/mouse.qml mouse handlers
+
+\section1 Enabling Gestures
+Some mouse gestures and button clicks need to be enabled before they send or
+receive events. Certain \l MouseArea and \l MouseEvent properties enable these
+gestures.
+
+To listen to (or explicitly ignore) a certain mouse button, set the appropriate
+mouse button to the \l {MouseArea::acceptedButtons}{acceptedButtons} property.
+
+Naturally, the mouse events, such as button presses and mouse positions, are
+sent during a mouse click. For example, the \c containsMouse property will only
+retrieve its correct value during a mouse press. The
+\l {MouseArea::hoverEnabled}{hoverEnabled} will enable mouse events and
+positioning even when there are no mouse button presses. Setting the
+\c hoverEnabled property to \c true, in turn will enable the \c entered,
+\c exited, and \c positionChanged signal and their respective signal handlers.
+
+Additionally, to disable the whole mouse area, set the \c MouseArea
+element's \c enabled property to \c false.
+
+\section1 MouseEvent Object
+
+Signals and their handlers receive a \l MouseEvent object as a parameter. The
+\c mouse object contain information about the mouse event. For example, the
+mouse button that started the event is queried through the
+\l {MouseEvent::button}{mouse.button} property.
+
+The \c MouseEvent object can also ignore a mouse event using its \c accepted
+property.
+
+\section2 Accepting Further Signals
+Many of the signals are sent multiple times to reflect various mouse events
+such as double clicking. To facilitate the classification of mouse clicks, the
+MouseEvent object has an \c accepted property to disable the event propagation.
 
 To learn more about QML's event system, please read the \l {QML Signal and Handler Event System} document.

-User interfaces are designed to present different interface configurations in
-different scenarios, or to modify their appearances in response to user
-interaction. Often, there are a set of changes that are made concurrently, such
-that the interface could be seen to be internally changing from one \e state to
-another.
+\section1 Overview
 
-This applies generally to interface elements regardless of their complexity.
-A photo viewer may initially present images in a grid, and when an image is
-clicked, change to a "detailed" state where the individual image is expanded
-and the interface is changed to present new options for image editing. On the
-other end of the scale, when a simple button is pressed, it may change to a
-"pressed" state in which its color and position is modified to give a pressed
-appearance.
+Many user interface designs are \e state driven; interfaces have configurations
+that differ depending on the current state. For example, a traffic signal will
+configure its flags or lights depending on its state. While in the signal's
+\c stop state, a red light will turn on while the yellow and the green lights
+will turn off. In the \c caution state, the yellow light is on while the other
+lights are turned off.
 
-In QML, any object can change between different \e states to apply sets of
-changes that modify the properties of relevant items. Each \e state could
-present a different configuration that could, for example:
+In QML, \e states are a set of property configurations defined in a \l State
+element. Different configurations could, for example:

 \o Present different available actions to the user

+\o Start, stop, or pause animations
 \o Execute some script required in the new state

-Changes between states can be animated using \l {Transitions}{transitions}, as

+Non-Item objects may use states through the \l StateGroup element.
 
 \section1 Creating States
 
 To create a state, add a \l State object to the item's \l {Item::}{states} property,
 which holds a list of states for that item.
 
-Following is an example. Here, the \l Rectangle is initially placed in the
-default (0, 0) position. It has defined an additional state named "moved", in
-which a PropertyChanges object repositions the rectangle to (50, 50). Clicking
-within the MouseArea changes the state to the "moved" state, thus moving the \l
-Rectangle.
-
-\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/states.qml 0
-
-The \l State item defines all the changes to be made in the new state. It
-could specify additional properties to be changed, or create additional
-PropertyChanges for other objects. It can also modify the properties of other
-objects, not just the object that owns the state. For example:
-
-\qml
-Rectangle {
-    // ...
-    states: [
-        State {
-            name: "moved"
-            PropertyChanges { target: myRect; x: 50; y: 50; color: "blue" }
-            PropertyChanges { target: someOtherItem; width: 1000 }
-        }
-    ]
-}
-\endqml
-
-As a convenience, if an item only has one state, its \l {Item::}{states}
-property can be defined as a single \l State, without the square-brace list
-syntax:
-
-\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/propertyanimation.qml single state
-
-A \l State is not limited to performing modifications on property values. It
-can also:
-
+A warning \c signal component may have two states, the \c NORMAL and the
+\c CRITICAL state. Suppose that in the \c NORMAL state, the \c color of the
+signal should be \c green and the warning \c flag is down. Meanwhile, in the
+\c CRITICAL state, the \c color should be \c red and the flag is \c up. We may
+model the states using the \c State element and the color and flag
+configurations with the \c PropertyChanges element.
+\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/states.qml signal states
+The \l PropertyChanges element will change the values of object properties.
+Objects are referenced through their \l {qml-id-property}{id}. Objects outside
+the component are also referenced using the \c id property, exemplified by the
+property change to the external \c flag object.
+
+Further, the state may change by assigning the \c state property with the
+appropriate signal state. A state switch could be in a \l MouseArea element,
+assigning a different state whenever the signal receives a mouse click.
+\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/states.qml switch states
+
+The State element is not limited to performing modifications on property values.
+It can also:

-\o Override an existing signal handler for an object using PropertyChanges
-\o Re-parent an \l Item using ParentChanges
-\o Modify anchor values using AnchorChanges

-The \l {declarative/animation/states}{States and Transitions example}
-demonstrates how to declare a basic set of states and apply animated

 \section1 The Default State
 
-Of course, the \l Rectangle in the example above could have simply been moved
-by setting its position to (50, 50) in the mouse area's \c onClicked handler.
-However, aside from enabling batched property changes, one of the features of
-QML states is the ability of an item to revert to its \e {default state}.
-The default state contains all of an item's initial property values before
-they were modified in a state change.
-
-For example, suppose the \l Rectangle should move to (50,50) when the mouse is
-pressed, and then move back to its original position when the mouse is
-released. This can be achieved by using the \l {State::}{when} property,
-like this:
-
-\qml
-Rectangle {
-    // ...
-
-    MouseArea {
-        id: mouseArea
-        anchors.fill: parent
-    }
-
-    states: State {
-        name: "moved"
-        when: mouseArea.pressed
-        // ...
-    }
-}
-\endqml
-
-The \l {State::}{when} property is set to an expression that evaluates to
-\c true when the item should be set to that state. When the mouse is pressed,
-the state is changed to \e moved. When it is released, the item reverts to its
-\e default state, which defines all of the item's original property values.
-
-Alternatively, an item can be explicitly set to its default state by setting its
-\l {Item::}{state} property to an empty string (""). For example, instead of
-using the \l {State::}{when} property, the above code could be changed to:
-
-\qml
-Rectangle {
-    // ...
-
-    MouseArea {
-        anchors.fill: parent
-        onPressed: myRect.state = 'moved';
-        onReleased: myRect.state = '';
-    }
-
-    states: State {
-        name: "moved"
-        // ...
-    }
-}
-\endqml
-
-Obviously it makes sense to use the \l {State::}{when} property when possible
-as it provides a simpler (and a better, more declarative) solution than
-assigning the state from signal handlers.
-
-
-\section1 Animating State Changes
-
+Every \l Item based component has a \c state property and a \e{default state}.
+The default state is the empty string (\c{""}) and contains all of an item's
+initial property values. The default state is useful for managing property
+values before state changes. Setting the \c state property to an empty string
+will load the default state.
 
-State changes can be easily animated through \l {Transitions}{transitions}. A
-\l Transition defines the animations that should be applied when an item
-changes from one state to another.
+\section1 The \c when Property
 
-If the above example was modified to include the following \l Transition, the
-movement of the \l Rectangle would be animated:
+For convenience, the \l State element has a \c when property that can bind to
+expressions to change the state whenever the bound expression evaluates to
+\c true. The \c when property will revert the state back to the
+\l {The Default State}{default state} when the expression evaluates to false.
 
-\qml
-Rectangle {
-    // ...
+\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/states.qml when property
+The \c bell component will change to the \c RINGING state whenever the
+\c signal.state is \c CRITICAL.
 
-    MouseArea {
-        // Handle mouse events...
-    }
-
-    states: [
-       // States are defined here...
-    ]
+\section1 Animating State Changes
 
-    transitions: [
-        Transition {
-            NumberAnimation { properties: "x,y"; duration: 500 }
-        }
-    ]
- }
-\endqml
+State changes induce abrupt value changes. The \l Transitions element allow
+smoother changes during state changes. In transitions, animations and
+interpolation behaviors are definable. The
+\l {QML Animation and Transitions}{Animation and Transitions} article has more
+information about creating state animations.
 
-This \l Transition defines that if any \c x or \c y properties have changed
-during a state change within this item, their values should be animated over 500
-milliseconds.
+The \l {declarative/animation/states}{States and Transitions example}
+demonstrates how to declare a basic set of states and apply animated
+transitions between them.
 
-See the \l Transitions documentation for more information.

+\title QML Signal and Handler Event System
+
+\section1 Overview, structural information
+
+QML utilizes Qt's \l{The Meta-Object System}{meta-object} and
+\l{Signals & Slots}{signals} systems. Signals and slots created using Qt in C++
+are inheritely valid in QML.
+
+\keyword qml-signals-and-handlers
+\section1 Signals and Handlers
+
+Signals provide a way to notify other objects when an event has occurred. For
+example, the MouseArea \c clicked signal notifies other objects that the mouse
+has been clicked within the area.
+
+The syntax for defining a new signal is:
+
+\qml
+signal <name>[([<type> <parameter name>[, ...]])]
+\endqml
+
+Attempting to declare two signals or methods with the same name in the same type
+block is an error.  However, a new signal may reuse the name of an existing
+signal on the type. (This should be done with caution, as the existing signal
+may be hidden and become inaccessible.)
+
+Here are various examples of signal declarations:
+\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/events.qml parent begin
+\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/events.qml signal declaration
+\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/events.qml parent end
+
+If the signal has no parameters, the "\c{()}" brackets are optional. If
+parameters are used, the parameter types must be declared, as for the \c string
+and \c variant arguments of the \c perform signal.
+
+Adding a signal to an item automatically adds a \e{signal handler} as well. The
+signal hander is named \c on<SignalName>, with the first letter of the signal in
+uppercase.  The previous signals have the following signal handlers:
+\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/events.qml signal handler declaration
+
+Further, each QML properties have a \c{<property_name>Changed} signal and its
+corresponding \c{on<property_name>Changed} signal handler. As a result, property
+changes may notify other components for any changes.
+\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/events.qml automatic signals
+
+To emit a signal, invoke it as a method. The signal handler binding is similar
+to a property binding and it is invoked when the signal is emitted. Use the
+defined argument names to access the respective arguments.
+\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/events.qml signal emit
+Note that the \c Component.onCompleted is an
+\l{attached-signalhandlers}{attached signal handler}; it is invoked when the
+\l Component initialization is complete.
+
+\keyword qml-connect-signals-to-method
+\section2 Connecting Signals to Methods and Signals
+
+Signal objects have a \c connect() method to a connect a signal either to a
+method or another signal. When a signal is connected to a method, the method is
+automatically invoked whenever the signal is emitted. (In Qt terminology, the
+method is a \e slot that is connected to the \e signal; all methods defined in
+QML are created as \l{Signals & Slots}{Qt slots}.) This enables a signal
+to be received by a method instead of a \l {Signal Handlers}{signal handler}.
+
+\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/events.qml connect method
+The \c {connect()} method is appropriate when connecting a JavaScript method,
+such as the \c {callee}'s\c answer method, to QML signals.
+
+The corresponding \c disconnect() method is for removing connected
+signals. The following code removes the connection created in \c application.qml above:
+\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/events.qml disconnect method
+
+\section3 Signal to Signal Connect
+
+By connecting signals to other signals, the \c connect() method can form different
+signal chains.
+\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/events.qml parent begin
+\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/events.qml forward signal
+\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/events.qml parent end
+
+Whenever the \l MouseArea \c clicked signal is emitted, the \c widgetClicked
+signal will automatically be emitted as well.
+
+\code
+output:
+    MouseArea clicked
+    Widget clicked
+\endcode
+
+\section1 C++ additions
+
+Because QML uses Qt, a signal defined in C++ also works as a QML signal. The
+signal may be emitted in QML code or called as a method. In addition, the QML
+runtime automatically creates signal handlers for the C++ signals. For more
+signal control, the \c connect() method and the \l Connect element may connect a
+C++ to another signal or method.

 \title Importing Reusable Components
 
-One of the key concepts in QML is the ability to define your own QML components that suit
-the purposes of your application. The standard \l {QML Elements} provide the essential components
-for creating a QML application; beyond these, you can write your own custom components that can
-be created and reused, without the use of C++.
-
-Components are the building blocks of a QML project. When writing a QML application, whether
-large or small, it is best to separate QML code into smaller components that perform specific
-sets of operations, instead of creating mammoth QML files with large, combined functionality
-that is more difficult to manage and may contain duplicated code.
+A \e component is an instantiable QML definition, typically contained in a
+\c .qml file. For instance, a Button \e component may be defined in
+\c Button.qml. The QML runtime may instantiate this Button component to create
+Button \e objects. Alternatively, a component may be defined inside a
+\l Component element.
 
+Moreover, the Button definition may also contain other components. A Button
+component could use a Text element for its label and other components to
+implement its functions. Compounding components to form new components
+(and effectively new interfaces) is the emphasis in QML.
 
 \section1 Defining New Components
 
-A component is a reusable type with a well-defined interface, built entirely in QML.
-Any snippet of QML code can become a component, by placing the code in a file "<Name>.qml" where
-<Name> is the new component name, beginning with an uppercase letter. These QML files automatically
-become available as new QML element types to other QML components and applications in the same directory.
+Any snippet of QML code may become a component, by placing the code in a QML
+file (extension is \c .qml). An inline component definition may also reside in a
+\l Component element.
+
+\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/reusablecomponents/Button.qml document
 
 For example, one of the simplest and most common components you can build in QML is a
 button-type component. Below, we implement this component as a \l Rectangle with a clickable
@@ -80,418 +81,6 @@ filesystems. It is recommended the file name case matches the case of the QML co
 exactly - for example, \c Box.qml and not \c BoX.qml - regardless of the platform to which the
 QML component will be deployed.
 
-To write a useful component, it is generally necessary to provide it with custom attributes that store and
-communicate specific data. This is achieved by adding the following attributes to your components:
-
-\list
-\o \bold Properties that can be accessed externally to modify an object (for example, \l Item has
-   \l {Item::}{width} and \l {Item::}{height} properties) and used in \l {Property Binding}
-\o \bold Methods of JavaScript code can be invoked internally or externally (for example,
-   \l Animation has a \l {Animation::}{start()} method)
-\o \bold Signals to notify other objects when an event has occurred (for example, MouseArea has a
-   \c clicked signal)
-\endlist
-
-The following sections show how these attributes can be added to QML components.
-
-
-\section1 Adding Properties
-
-A property is a value of a QML component that can be read and modified by other objects. For
-example, a \l Rectangle component has \l {Item::}{width}, \l {Item::}{height} and \l
-{Rectangle::}{color} properties. Significantly, properties be used with \l {Property Binding}, where
-a property value is automatically updated using the value of another property.
-
-The syntax for defining a new property is:
-
-\code
-[default] property <type> <name>[: defaultValue]
-\endcode
-
-A \c property declaration can appear anywhere within a QML component definition, but it is customary
-to place it at the top. A component cannot declare more than one property with the same name. (It is
-possible to have a property name that is the same as an existing property in a type, but this is not
-recommended as the existing property becomes hidden and inaccessible.)
-
-Below is an example. The \c ImageViewer component has defined a \c string type property named
-\c currentImage, and its initial value is "default-image.png". This property is used to set the image
-displayed in the child \l Image object. Another file, \c application.qml, can create
-an \c ImageViewer object and read or modify the \c currentImage value:
-
-\table
-\row
-\o \snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/qml-extending-types/properties/ImageViewer.qml 0
-\o \snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/qml-extending-types/properties/application.qml 0
-\endtable
-
-It is optional for a property to have a default value. The default value is a convenient shortcut, and is
-behaviorally identical to doing it in two steps, like this:
-
-\qml
-// Use default value
-property int myProperty: 10
-
-// Longer, but behaviorally identical
-property int myProperty
-myProperty: 10
-\endqml
-
-
-\section2 Supported property types
-
-All QML properties are typed. The examples above show properties with \c int and \c string types;
-notice that the type of the property must be declared. The type is used to determine the property
-behavior, and how the property is defined in C++.
-
-A number of property types are supported by default. These are listed in the table below,
-with their default values and the corresponding C++ type:
-
-\table
-\header \o QML Type Name \o Default value \o C++ Type Name
-\row \o int \o 0 \o int
-\row \o bool \o \c false \o bool
-\row \o double \o 0.0 \o double
-\row \o real \o 0.0 \o double
-\row \o string \o "" (empty string) \o QString
-\row \o url \o "" (empty url) \o QUrl
-\row \o color \o #000000 (black) \o QColor
-\row \o date \o \c undefined \o QDateTime
-\row \o variant \o \c undefined \o QVariant
-\endtable
-
-QML object types can also be used as property types. This includes
-\l {Defining new QML elements}{custom QML types} implemented in C++. Such properties are
-defined like this:
-
-\qml
-property Item itemProperty
-property QtObject objectProperty
-property MyCustomType customProperty
-\endqml
-
-Such object-type properties default to an \c undefined value.
-
-\l{list}{List properties} are created with the \c list<Type> syntax, and default to an empty
-list:
-
-\qml
-property list<Item> listOfItems
-\endqml
-
-Note that list properties cannot be modified like ordinary JavaScript
-arrays. See the \l {list}{list type documentation} for details.
-
-For details about accessing and manipulating QML properties from C++, see \l {Using QML Bindings in C++ Applications}.
-
-
-\section2 Property change signals
-
-Adding a \c property to an item automatically adds a \e {value changed}
-signal handler to the item. To connect to this signal, use a \l {Signal Handlers}{signal handler}
-named with the \c on<Property>Changed syntax, using upper case for the first letter of the
-property name.
-
-For example, the following \c onMyNumberChanged signal handler is automatically called whenever the
-\c myNumber property changes:
-
-\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/qml-extending-types/properties/property-signals.qml 0
-
-
-\section2 Default properties
-
-The optional \c default attribute for a property marks it as the \e {default property}
-for a type. This allows other items to specify the default property's value
-as child elements. For example, the \l Item element's default property is its
-\l{Item::children}{children} property. This allows the children of an \l Item
-to be set like this:
-
-\qml
-Item {
-    Rectangle {}
-    Rectangle {}
-}
-\endqml
-
-If the \l{Item::children}{children} property was not the default property for
-\l Item, its value would have to be set like this instead:
-
-\qml
-Item {
-    children: [
-        Rectangle {}
-        Rectangle {}
-    ]
-}
-\endqml
-
-See the \l{declarative/ui-components/tabwidget}{TabWidget} example for a
-demonstration of using default properties.
-
-Specifying a default property overrides any existing default property (for
-example, any default property inherited from a parent item). Using the
-\c default attribute twice in the same type block is an error.
-
-
-\section2 Property aliases
-
-Property aliases are a more advanced form of property declaration.  Unlike a
-property definition, which allocates a new, unique storage space for the
-property, a property alias connects the newly declared property (called the
-aliasing property) as a direct reference to an existing property (the aliased property).  Read
-operations on the aliasing property act as read operations on the aliased
-property, and write operations on the aliasing property as write operations on
-the aliased property.
-
-A property alias declaration looks a lot like an ordinary property definition:
-\code
-    [default] property alias <name>: <alias reference>
-\endcode
-
-As the aliasing property has the same type as the aliased property, an explicit
-type is omitted, and the special "alias" keyword is used.  Instead of a default
-value, a property alias includes a compulsory alias reference.  The alias
-reference is used to locate the aliased property.  While similar to a property
-binding, the alias reference syntax is highly restricted.
-
-An alias reference takes one of the following forms:
-\code
-    <id>.<property>
-    <id>
-\endcode
-
-where <id> must refer to an object id within the same component as the type
-declaring the alias, and, optionally, <property> refers to a property on that object.
-
-For example, below is a \c Button.qml component with a \c buttonText aliased property which is
-connected to the child Text object's \c text property:
-
-\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/qml-extending-types/properties/alias.qml 0
-
-The following code would create a \c Button with a defined text string for the
-child \l Text object:
-
-\qml
-Button { buttonText: "This is a button" }
-\endqml
-
-Here, modifying \c buttonText directly modifies the \c textItem.text value; it does not
-change some other value that then updates \c textItem.text.
-
-In this case, the use of aliased properties is essential. If \c buttonText was not an alias,
-changing its value would not actually change the displayed text at all, as
-\l {Property Binding}{property bindings} are not bi-directional: the \c buttonText value would
-change when \c textItem.text changes, but not the other way around.
-
-Aliased properties are also useful for allowing external objects to directly modify and
-access child objects in a component. For example, here is a modified version of the \c ImageViewer
-component shown \l {Adding Properties}{earlier} on this page. The \c currentImage property has
-been changed to an alias to the child \l Image object:
-
-\table
-\row
-\o \snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/qml-extending-types/properties/alias/ImageViewer.qml 0
-\o \snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/qml-extending-types/properties/alias/application.qml 0
-\endtable
-
-Instead of being limited to setting the \l Image source, \c application.qml can now directly
-access and modify the child \l Image object and its properties.
-
-Obviously, exposing child objects in this manner should be done with care, as it allows external
-objects to modify them freely. However, this use of aliased properties can be quite useful in
-particular situations, such as for the \l {declarative/ui-components/tabwidget}{TabWidget}
-example, where new tab items are actually parented to a child object that displays the current tab.
-
-
-\section3 Considerations for property aliases
-
-Aliases are only activated once the component specifying them is completed.  The
-most obvious consequence of this is that the component itself cannot generally
-use the aliased property directly during creation.  For example, this will not work:
-
-\code
-    // Does NOT work
-    property alias buttonText: textItem.text
-    buttonText: "Some text" // buttonText is not yet defined when this value is set
-\endcode
-
-A second, much less significant, consequence of the delayed activation of
-aliases is that an alias reference cannot refer to another aliasing property
-declared within the same component.  This will not work:
-
-\code
-    // Does NOT work
-    id: root
-    property alias buttonText: textItem.text
-    property alias buttonText2: root.buttonText
-\endcode
-
-At the time the component is created, the \c buttonText value has not yet been assigned,
-so \c root.buttonText would refer to an undefined value. (From outside the component,
-however, aliasing properties appear as regular Qt properties and consequently can be
-used in alias references.)
-
-It is possible for an aliased property to have the same name as an existing property. For example,
-the following component has a \c color alias property, named the same as the built-in
-\l {Rectangle::color} property:
-
-\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/qml-extending-types/properties/alias-override.qml 0
-
-Any objects that use this component and refer to its \c color property will be
-referring to the alias rather than the ordinary \l {Rectangle::color} property. Internally,
-however, the rectangle can correctly set this property to "red" and refer to the actual defined
-property rather than the alias.
-
-
-\section1 Adding Methods
-
-A QML component can define methods of JavaScript code. These methods can be invoked
-either internally or by other objects.
-
-The syntax for defining a method is:
-
-\code
-function <name>([<parameter name>[, ...]]) { <body> }
-\endcode
-
-This declaration may appear anywhere within a type body, but it is customary to
-include it at the top.  Attempting to declare two methods or signals with the
-same name in the same type block is an error.  However, a new method may reuse
-the name of an existing method on the type.  (This should be done with caution,
-as the existing method may be hidden and become inaccessible.)
-
-Unlike \l{Adding Signals}{signals}, method parameter types do not have to be declared as they
-default to the \c variant type. The body of the method is written in JavaScript and may access
-the parameters by name.
-
-Here is an example of a component with a \c say() method that accepts a single \c text argument:
-
-\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/qml-extending-types/methods/app.qml 0
-
-A method can be connected to a signal so that it is automatically invoked whenever the signal
-is emitted. See \l {Connecting signals to methods and other signals} below.
-
-Also see \l {Integrating JavaScript} for more information on using JavaScript with QML.
-
-
-\section1 Adding Signals
-
-Signals provide a way to notify other objects when an event has occurred. For example, the MouseArea
-\c clicked signal notifies other objects that the mouse has been clicked within the area.
-
-The syntax for defining a new signal is:
-
-\code
-signal <name>[([<type> <parameter name>[, ...]])]
-\endcode
-
-This declaration may appear anywhere within a type body, but it is customary to
-include it at the top.  Attempting to declare two signals or methods with the
-same name in the same type block is an error.  However, a new signal may reuse
-the name of an existing signal on the type. (This should be done with caution,
-as the existing signal may be hidden and become inaccessible.)
-
-Here are three examples of signal declarations:
-
-\code
-Item {
-    signal clicked
-    signal hovered()
-    signal performAction(string action, variant actionArgument)
-}
-\endcode
-
-If the signal has no parameters, the "()" brackets are optional. If parameters are used, the
-parameter types must be declared, as for the \c string and \c variant arguments for the \c
-performAction signal above; the allowed parameter types are the same as those listed in the \l
-{Adding Properties} section on this page.
-
-Adding a signal to an item automatically adds a \l {Signal Handlers}{signal handler} as well.
-The signal hander is named \c on<SignalName>, with the first letter of the signal being upper
-cased. The above example item would now have the following signal handlers:
-
-\list
-\o onClicked
-\o onHovered
-\o onPerformAction
-\endlist
-
-To emit a signal, simply invoke it in the same way as a method. Below left, when the \l MouseArea is
-clicked, it emits the parent \c buttonClicked signal by invoking \c rect.buttonClicked(). The
-signal is received by \c application.qml through an \c onButtonClicked signal handler:
-
-\table
-\row
-\o \snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/qml-extending-types/signals/basic.qml 0
-\o \snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/qml-extending-types/signals/no-parameters.qml 0
-\endtable
-
-If the signal has parameters, they are accessible by parameter name in the signal handler.
-In the example below, \c buttonClicked is emitted with \c xPos and \c yPos parameters instead:
-
-\table
-\row
-\o \snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/qml-extending-types/signals/Button.qml 0
-\o \snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/qml-extending-types/signals/parameters.qml 0
-\endtable
-
-
-\section2 Connecting signals to methods and other signals
-
-Signal objects have a \c connect() method that can be used to a connect a signal to a method or
-another signal. When a signal is connected to a method, the method is automatically invoked
-whenever the signal is emitted. (In Qt terminology, the method is a \e slot that is connected
-to the \e signal; all methods defined in QML are created as Qt slots.) This enables a signal
-to be received by a method instead of a \l {Signal Handlers}{signal handler}.
-
-For example, the \c application.qml above could be rewritten as:
-
-\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/qml-extending-types/signals/connectslots.qml 0
-
-The \c myMethod() method will be called whenever the \c buttonClicked signal is received.
-
-In many cases it is sufficient to receive signals through signal handlers rather than using
-the \c connect() function; the above example does not provide any improvements over using a
-simple \c onButtonClicked handler. However, if you are \l{Dynamic Object Management in QML}{creating objects dynamically},
-or \l {Integrating JavaScript}{integrating JavaScript code}, then you will find the
-\c connect() method useful. For example, the component below creates three \c Button
-objects dynamically, and connects the \c buttonClicked signal of each object to the
-\c myMethod() function:
-
-\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/qml-extending-types/signals/connectdynamic.qml 0
-
-In the same way, you could connect a signal to methods defined in a dynamically
-created object, or \l {Receiving QML Signals in JavaScript}{connect a signal to a JavaScript method}.
-
-There is also a corresponding \c disconnect() method for removing connected signals. The following
-code removes the connection created in \c application.qml above:
-
-\qml
-// application.qml
-Item {
-    ...
-
-    function removeSignal() {
-        button.clicked.disconnect(item.myMethod)
-    }
-}
-\endqml
-
-
-\section3 Forwarding signals
-
-The \c connect() method can also connect a signal to other signals. This has the effect
-of "forwarding" a signal: it is automatically emitted whenever the relevant signal is emitted. For
-example, the MouseArea \c onClicked handler in \c Button.qml above could have been replaced with
-a call to \c connect():
-
-\qml
-MouseArea {
-    anchors.fill: parent
-    Component.onCompleted: clicked.connect(item.buttonClicked)
-}
-\endqml
-
-Whenever the \l MouseArea \c clicked signal is emitted, the \c rect.buttonClicked signal will
-automatically be emitted as well.
