Hi Dimitris, Silica SearchField is just a specially-styled TextField, the actual search string filtering should be implemented in the application model (QAbstractListModel or QML ListModel). For an example of how to use SearchField see Search page in Component Gallery. When displaying the search results on the view, please use Theme.highlightText(model.text, searchString, Theme.highlightColor) to highlight the matched sub-text on the search results.
Qt Quick unfortunately lacks generic proxy models for doing filtering, so implementing filtering to models can be a bit of pain. Be careful when adding, removing and updating model items during an active search, badly written model logic often leads to lousy performance when the view unnecessarily re-constructs view delegates. Cheers, Joona ________________________________________ From: devel-boun...@lists.sailfishos.org [devel-boun...@lists.sailfishos.org] on behalf of Dimitris [sarlis....@gmail.com] Sent: 14 August 2013 14:42 To: devel@lists.sailfishos.org Subject: [SailfishDevel] Search Field Component Hello, I want to use this component and there is not much info about it in the documentation. Is it just a TextField with two additional icons or does it actually filters the result according to the text given? Because if it doesn't I have to implement it on my own. Thanks. _______________________________________________ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list _______________________________________________ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list
