Qt SCXML Traffic Light QML Example (Dynamic)▲
Traffic Light QML Example (Dynamic) demonstrates how to connect to the active properties of a state in a dynamically loaded state machine.
The UI is created using Qt Quick.
Running the Example▲
To run the example from Qt Creator, open the Welcome mode and select the example from Examples. For more information, visit Building and Running an Example.
Dynamically Loading the State Machine▲
We link against the Qt SCXML module by adding the following line to the example .pro file:
QT +=
qml scxml
We dynamically create the state machine in the main QML file:
import
QtScxml 5.8
TrafficLight {
StateMachineLoader {
id
:
loader
source
:
"qrc:///statemachine.scxml"
}
stateMachine
:
loader.stateMachine
}
Connecting to States▲
In the SCXML file, we specify states for each light: red, yellow, and green. In the <onentry> element, we specify the event to send when entering the state and the delay in seconds before sending the event. In the <transition> element, we specify the event that triggers the transition to the state specified by the target attribute:
&
lt;state id=
"red"
&
gt;
&
lt;onentry&
gt;
&
lt;send event=
"startGoingGreen"
delay=
"3s"
/&
gt;
&
lt;/
onentry&
gt;
&
lt;transition event=
"startGoingGreen"
target=
"redGoingGreen"
/&
gt;
&
lt;/
state&
gt;
&
lt;state id=
"yellow"
initial=
"greenGoingRed"
&
gt;
&
lt;state id=
"redGoingGreen"
&
gt;
&
lt;onentry&
gt;
&
lt;send event=
"goGreen"
delay=
"1s"
/&
gt;
&
lt;/
onentry&
gt;
&
lt;transition event=
"goGreen"
target=
"green"
/&
gt;
&
lt;/
state&
gt;
&
lt;state id=
"greenGoingRed"
&
gt;
&
lt;onentry&
gt;
&
lt;send event=
"goRed"
delay=
"1s"
/&
gt;
&
lt;/
onentry&
gt;
&
lt;transition event=
"goRed"
target=
"red"
/&
gt;
&
lt;/
state&
gt;
&
lt;/
state&
gt;
&
lt;state id=
"green"
&
gt;
&
lt;onentry&
gt;
&
lt;send event=
"startGoingRed"
delay=
"3s"
/&
