Detailed Description

The AnchorChanges type is used to modify the anchors of an item in a State.

AnchorChanges cannot be used to modify the margins on an item. For this, use PropertyChanges intead.

In the following example we change the top and bottom anchors of an item using AnchorChanges, and the top and bottom anchor margins using PropertyChanges:

import QtQuick
Rectangle {
    id: window
    width: 120; height: 120
    color: "black"

    Rectangle { id: anchorRectStart; x: 60; y: 60; height: 60; width: 60; color: "yellow"}
    Rectangle { id: anchorRectEnd; x: 0; y: 0; height: 60; width: 60; color: "blue"}

    Rectangle { id: myRect; color: "red"
        anchors {
            top: anchorRectStart.top
            bottom: anchorRectStart.bottom
            left: anchorRectStart.left
            right: anchorRectStart.right
            topMargin: 10
            bottomMargin: 10
            leftMargin: 10
            rightMargin: 10
        }
    }

    states: State {
        name: "reanchored"

        AnchorChanges {
            target: myRect
            anchors {
                top: anchorRectEnd.top
                bottom: anchorRectEnd.bottom
                left: anchorRectEnd.left
                right: anchorRectEnd.right
                topMargin: 20
                bottomMargin: 20
                leftMargin: 20
                rightMargin: 20
            }
        }
    }
    MouseArea { anchors.fill: parent; onClicked: window.state = "reanchored" }
}

Changes to anchor margins can be animated using NumberAnimation.

For more information on anchors see Anchor Layouts.
