Moving to QtQuick2.0: use of QQuickItem in a QGraphicsScene

Hello,

my application consist of a QGraphicsView with a scene containing a huge amount of QGraphicsItems. I found it useful to support QDeclarativeItems, so what i have done until now is creating of QDeclarativeItems and add them to a QGraphicsScene.
With moving forward to QtQuick 2.0 ( Qt 5.1 ) this is no more possible. The QDeclarativeItem, derived from QGraphicsObject is substituted by QQuickItem, derived from QObject. So a QQuickItem can not be added to a scene.
How can i achieve that? Or there something i obviously misunderstood?

Best regards

QGraphicsView/QDeclarativeView and QQuickView are both similar in that they show a scene of items, but they have very different implementations so they cannot share items.

QDeclarativeView and QQuickView build the scene by reading a QML document and creating instances of type found in the document. That can be built-in types, e.g. "Text" or custom types (derived from QDeclarativeItem or QQuickItem respectively), registered through plugins or by the application itself using qmlRegisterType().

So moving from a QDeclarativeView to a QQuickView with custom elements should involve mostly rebasing the custom types from QDeclarativeItem to QQuickItem (or more likely QQuickPaintedItem).

Cheers,
