    Default How to restrict a qml view to go out of the screen or main window by mouse dragging.

    Hi,

    I have a qml rectangle which opens up on a click event and I can move the window on the screen using mouse click and drag. Now the problem is I can move this qml out of the screen and it wont be visible and I can not close that.
    I want to restrict the movement of this qml to the screen area. or I canrestrict the mouse movement out of the screen area.
    any idea how to achieve this.

    Thanks in advance

    Have a look at drag.minimumX, drag.maximumX properties in MouseArea element and their equivalents in vertical direction.

    thanks for the reply.
    I already used that, but after setting that my qml component itself is not being loaded. error message comes like "component is not ready".
    any other way?
    thanks

    If you get that message then it means your code has invalid syntax. Make sure you didn't do any syntax errors.

    Apparently you're not using it correctly. Show your code.

    I have tried with the hard coced values also like
    MouseArea
    {
    drag.minimumX: 0
    drag.minimumY: 0
    drag.maximumX: 800
    drag.maximumY: 480
    }
    it should not allow mouse to move more than that, but it does.

    This does not restrict mouse movement. This restricts dragging to the bounds you specified in the drag.targets coordinate system.

    You cannot do that in QML. You have to use the native API.
