This element was introduced in Qt Quick Components 1.1.
A SearchBox enables users to find contents in a view and see the results. SearchBox implements a progressive search method where resulting matches are displayed incrementally as the user enters text in the search term input field.
// Search box without backbutton SearchBox { id: searchbox placeHolderText: "Search Text" onSearchTextChanged: { ... } // Get the current search text and do search operation. } // Search box with backbutton SearchBox { id: searchbox backButton: true placeHolderText: "Search Text" onSearchTextChanged: { ... } onBackClicked: { ... } }
Enables the back button from the searchbox. It should only be used if searchbox is not displayed in the original application view. Clicking the back button dismisses the search view and returns to the original view. Property default is false.
The maximum permitted length of the text in the searchbox's text input field. If the text is too long, it is truncated at the limit. By default, this property contains a value of 32767. Shares the same values as those defined for TextInput's maximumLength property.
The text that is shown in the searchbox's text input field. This text is shown as long as the text input field does not have focus and if the value of the text property is an empty string. The placeholder text is shown as grayed-out. When the field receives the focus, the placeholder text disappears. The default value of placeholderText is an empty string.
