Make an Independent Popup in Qt Quick-CodePudding

I have an app which is small in terms of width and height, I want a popup to show when a button is clicked. Problem is the popup is larger than the app window and when i open it, it scales down and looks weird

APP

APP WITH POPUP

POPUP CONTENT IN DESIGNER

How can i make the popup independent from the app window, like this:

Or is there a better approach rather than using popup, it would be nice if i were able to move the popup/window around. It still needs to be somehow connected to the main app because it get's data from there

CodePudding user response：

A Popup in QML appears as a layer on top of the parent window, so it cannot be bigger than the parent window. If you want a separate, top level window, you should use a Window or a Dialog instead.

I've gotten it sorted out. I encapsulated the component i wanted to show inside a window and created it using Qt.createComponent()

var playListComponent = Qt.createComponent("CustomPlaylist.qml")
var window = playListComponent.createObject(rootWindow)
window.show()

The root element of CustomPlaylist.qml is a Window
