How to bind C++ property to QML property?
Perhaps an answer to a similar question would be helpful.
It shows how to connect the standard (not custom) qml property with something in C++.
To bind a property from an object you didn't create in QML (or was created in another context), you have to use Binding
.
In your case :
Binding {
target: yourCppObject
property: "cppPropertyName"
value: yourComboBox.currentText
}
