Detailed Description
Popup is the base type of popup-like user interface controls. It can be used with Window or ApplicationWindow.
import QtQuick.Window 2.2 import QtQuick.Controls 2.1 ApplicationWindow { id: window width: 400 height: 400 visible: true Button { text: "Open" onClicked: popup.open() } Popup { id: popup x: 100 y: 100 width: 200 height: 300 modal: true focus: true closePolicy: Popup.CloseOnEscape | Popup.CloseOnPressOutsideParent } }
In order to ensure that a popup is displayed above other items in the scene, it is recommended to use ApplicationWindow. ApplicationWindow also provides background dimming effects.
Popup does not provide a layout of its own, but requires you to position its contents, for instance by creating a RowLayout or a ColumnLayout.
Items declared as children of a Popup are automatically parented to the Popups's contentItem. Items created dynamically need to be explicitly parented to the contentItem.
Popup Layout
The following diagram illustrates the layout of a popup within a window:
The implicitWidth and implicitHeight of a popup are typically based on the implicit sizes of the background and the content item plus any padding. These properties determine how large the popup will be when no explicit width or height is specified.
The background item fills the entire width and height of the popup, unless an explicit size has been given for it.
The geometry of the contentItem is determined by the padding.
Popup Sizing
If only a single item is used within a Popup, it will resize to fit the implicit size of its contained item. This makes it particularly suitable for use together with layouts.
Popup { ColumnLayout { anchors.fill: parent CheckBox { text: qsTr("E-mail") } CheckBox { text: qsTr("Calendar") } CheckBox { text: qsTr("Contacts") } } }
Sometimes there might be two items within the popup:
Popup { SwipeView { // ... } PageIndicator { anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter anchors.bottom: parent.bottom } }
In this case, Popup cannot calculate a sensible implicit size. Since we're anchoring the PageIndicator over the SwipeView, we can simply set the content size to the view's implicit size:
Popup { contentWidth: view.implicitWidth contentHeight: view.implicitHeight SwipeView { id: view // ... } PageIndicator { anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter anchors.bottom: parent.bottom } }

Property Documentation
[read-only] activeFocus : bool
This property holds whether the popup has active focus.
See also focus and Keyboard Focus in Qt Quick.
[read-only] availableHeight : real
This property holds the height available to the contentItem after deducting vertical padding from the height of the popup.
See also padding, topPadding, and bottomPadding.
[read-only] availableWidth : real
This property holds the width available to the contentItem after deducting horizontal padding from the width of the popup.
See also padding, leftPadding, and rightPadding.
background : Item
This property holds the background item.
Note: If the background item has no explicit size specified, it automatically follows the popup's size. In most cases, there is no need to specify width or height for a background item.
Note: Most popups use the implicit size of the background item to calculate the implicit size of the popup itself. If you replace the background item with a custom one, you should also consider providing a sensible implicit size for it (unless it is an item like Image which has its own implicit size).
See also Customizing Popup.
bottomMargin : real
This property holds the distance between the bottom edge of the popup and the bottom edge of its window.
A popup with a negative bottom margin is not pushed within the bottom edge of the enclosing window. The default value is -1
.
See also margins, topMargin, and Popup Layout.
bottomPadding : real
This property holds the bottom padding.
The padding properties are used to control the geometry of the content item.
Popup uses the same approach to padding as Control. For a visual explanation of the padding system, see the Control Layout section of the documentation.
See also padding, topPadding, and availableHeight.
clip : bool
This property holds whether clipping is enabled. The default value is false
.
closePolicy : enumeration
This property determines the circumstances under which the popup closes. The flags can be combined to allow several ways of closing the popup.
The available values are:
Constant | Description |
---|---|
Popup.NoAutoClose |
The popup will only close when manually instructed to do so. |
Popup.CloseOnPressOutside |
The popup will close when the mouse is pressed outside of it. |
Popup.CloseOnPressOutsideParent |
The popup will close when the mouse is pressed outside of its parent. |
Popup.CloseOnReleaseOutside |
The popup will close when the mouse is released outside of it. |
Popup.CloseOnReleaseOutsideParent |
The popup will close when the mouse is released outside of its parent. |
Popup.CloseOnEscape |
The popup will close when the escape key is pressed while the popup has active focus. |
The default value is Popup.CloseOnEscape | Popup.CloseOnPressOutside
.
Note: There is a known limitation that the Popup.CloseOnReleaseOutside
and Popup.CloseOnReleaseOutsideParent
policies only work with modal popups.
contentChildren : list<Item>
This property holds the list of content children.
The list contains all items that have been declared in QML as children of the popup.
Note: Unlike contentData
, contentChildren
does not include non-visual QML objects.
See also Item::children and contentData.
[default] contentData : list<Object>
This property holds the list of content data.
The list contains all objects that have been declared in QML as children of the popup.
Note: Unlike contentChildren
, contentData
does include non-visual QML objects.
See also Item::data and contentChildren.
contentHeight : real
This property holds the content height. It is used for calculating the total implicit height of the Popup.
For more information, see Popup Sizing.
See also contentWidth.
contentItem : Item
This property holds the content item of the popup.
The content item is the visual implementation of the popup. When the popup is made visible, the content item is automatically reparented to the overlay item of its application window.
Note: The content item is automatically resized to fit within the padding of the popup.
Note: Most popups use the implicit size of the content item to calculate the implicit size of the popup itself. If you replace the content item with a custom one, you should also consider providing a sensible implicit size for it (unless it is an item like Text which has its own implicit size).
See also Customizing Popup.
contentWidth : real
This property holds the content width. It is used for calculating the total implicit width of the Popup.
For more information, see Popup Sizing.
See also contentHeight.
dim : bool
This property holds whether the popup dims the background.
Unless explicitly set, this property follows the value of modal. To return to the default value, set this property to undefined
.
See also modal.
enter : Transition
This property holds the transition that is applied to the popup item when the popup is opened and enters the screen.
The following example animates the opacity of the popup when it enters the screen:
Popup { enter: Transition { NumberAnimation { property: "opacity"; from: 0.0; to: 1.0 } } }
See also exit.
exit : Transition
This property holds the transition that is applied to the popup item when the popup is closed and exits the screen.
The following example animates the opacity of the popup when it exits the screen:
Popup { exit: Transition { NumberAnimation { property: "opacity"; from: 1.0; to: 0.0 } } }
See also enter.
focus : bool
This property holds whether the popup wants focus.
When the popup actually receives focus, activeFocus will be true
. For more information, see Keyboard Focus in Qt Quick.
The default value is false
.
See also activeFocus.
font : font
This property holds the font currently set for the popup.
Popup propagates explicit font properties to its children. If you change a specific property on a popup's font, that property propagates to all of the popup's children, overriding any system defaults for that property.
Popup { font.family: "Courier" Column { Label { text: qsTr("This will use Courier...") } Switch { text: qsTr("... and so will this") } } }
See also Control::font and ApplicationWindow::font.
height : real
This property holds the height of the popup.
implicitHeight : real
This property holds the implicit height of the popup.
implicitWidth : real
This property holds the implicit width of the popup.
leftMargin : real
This property holds the distance between the left edge of the popup and the left edge of its window.
A popup with a negative left margin is not pushed within the left edge of the enclosing window. The default value is -1
.
See also margins, rightMargin, and Popup Layout.
leftPadding : real
This property holds the left padding.
The padding properties are used to control the geometry of the content item.
Popup uses the same approach to padding as Control. For a visual explanation of the padding system, see the Control Layout section of the documentation.
See also padding, rightPadding, and availableWidth.
locale : Locale
This property holds the locale of the popup.
See also LayoutMirroring.
margins : real
This property holds the distance between the edges of the popup and the edges of its window.
A popup with negative margins is not pushed within the bounds of the enclosing window. The default value is -1
.
See also topMargin, leftMargin, rightMargin, bottomMargin, and Popup Layout.
modal : bool
This property holds whether the popup is modal.
Modal popups often have a distinctive background dimming effect defined in overlay.modal, and do not allow press or release events through to items beneath them.
On desktop platforms, it is common for modal popups to be closed only when the escape key is pressed. To achieve this behavior, set closePolicy to Popup.CloseOnEscape
.
The default value is false
.
opacity : real
This property holds the opacity of the popup. Opacity is specified as a number between 0.0
(fully transparent) and 1.0
(fully opaque). The default value is 1.0
.
See also visible.
padding : real
This property holds the default padding.
The padding properties are used to control the geometry of the content item.
Popup uses the same approach to padding as Control. For a visual explanation of the padding system, see the Control Layout section of the documentation.
See also availableWidth, availableHeight, topPadding, leftPadding, rightPadding, and bottomPadding.
parent : Item
This property holds the parent item.
rightMargin : real
This property holds the distance between the right edge of the popup and the right edge of its window.
A popup with a negative right margin is not pushed within the right edge of the enclosing window. The default value is -1
.
See also margins, leftMargin, and Popup Layout.
rightPadding : real
This property holds the right padding.
The padding properties are used to control the geometry of the content item.
Popup uses the same approach to padding as Control. For a visual explanation of the padding system, see the Control Layout section of the documentation.
See also padding, leftPadding, and availableWidth.
scale : real
This property holds the scale factor of the popup. The default value is 1.0
.
A scale of less than 1.0
causes the popup to be rendered at a smaller size, and a scale greater than 1.0
renders the popup at a larger size. A negative scale causes the popup to be mirrored when rendered.
spacing : real
This property holds the spacing.
Spacing is useful for popups that have multiple or repetitive building blocks. For example, some styles use spacing to determine the distance between the header, content, and footer of Dialog. Spacing is not enforced by Popup, so each style may interpret it differently, and some may ignore it altogether.
This QML property was introduced in QtQuick.Controls 2.1 (Qt 5.8).
topMargin : real
This property holds the distance between the top edge of the popup and the top edge of its window.
A popup with a negative top margin is not pushed within the top edge of the enclosing window. The default value is -1
.
See also margins, bottomMargin, and Popup Layout.
topPadding : real
This property holds the top padding.
The padding properties are used to control the geometry of the content item.
Popup uses the same approach to padding as Control. For a visual explanation of the padding system, see the Control Layout section of the documentation.
See also padding, bottomPadding, and availableHeight.
transformOrigin : enumeration
This property holds the origin point for transformations in enter and exit transitions.
Nine transform origins are available, as shown in the image below. The default transform origin is Popup.Center
.
See also enter, exit, and Item::transformOrigin.
visible : bool
This property holds whether the popup is visible. The default value is false
.
width : real
This property holds the width of the popup.
x : real
This property holds the x-coordinate of the popup.
y : real
This property holds the y-coordinate of the popup.
z : real
This property holds the z-value of the popup. Z-value determines the stacking order of popups.
If two visible popups have the same z-value, the last one that was opened will be on top.
The default z-value is 0
.
