\brief The Flickable item provides a surface that can be "flicked".
\inherits Item
- Flickable places its children on a surface that can be dragged and flicked.
+ The Flickable item places its children on a surface that can be dragged
+ and flicked, causing the view onto the child items to scroll. This
+ behavior forms the basis of Items that are designed to show large numbers
+ of child items, such as \l ListView and \l GridView.
- \code
- import Qt 4.7
+ In traditional user interfaces, views can be scrolled using standard
+ controls, such as scroll bars and arrow buttons. In some situations, it
+ is also possible to drag the view directly by pressing and holding a
+ mouse button while moving the cursor. In touch-based user interfaces,
+ this dragging action is often complemented with a flicking action, where
+ scrolling continues after the user has stopped touching the view.
- Flickable {
- width: 200; height: 200
- contentWidth: image.width; contentHeight: image.height
+ Flickable does not automatically clip its contents. If it is not used as
+ a full-screen item, you should consider setting the \l{Item::}{clip} property
+ to true.
- Image { id: image; source: "bigImage.png" }
- }

- Flickable does not automatically clip its contents. If
- it is not full-screen it is likely that \l {Item::clip}{clip} should be set
- to \c true.

+ \section1 Limitations
\note Due to an implementation detail, items placed inside a Flickable cannot anchor to it by
\c id. Use \c parent instead.
