Clearing textinput in QML

Question

I have textInput box:

TextInput {           
    x: 5
    y: 2
    maximumLength: 16
    width: maximumLength * 20
    height: 17
    focus: false
    validator: RegExpValidator { regExp: /\d+/ }
    KeyNavigation.down: amount
}

And a clear button. When I click on clear button it should clear the text input box. How to do it?

Answer 1

You have to add the id property to your TextInput element.

TextInput {
    id: mytextbox
    x: 5
    y: 2
    ...
}

And on the event click of your MouseArea for your clear button you can do:

    onClicked: {
        mytextbox.text = "0"; 
    }
