Drawing gradient on BlackBerry 10 (Cascades and C++)

Question

Is there any way to draw a simple linear gradient in Cascades or/and C++? I've found an example using QtQuick library (https://developer.blackberry.com/cascades/reference/qmlreusablecomponents.html), but it doesn't work. Even the import of this library isn't recognized by Momentics

It does appear to be a valid question. Wondering why no one has answered it. For me it appears likes the documentation is wrong — Arul Kumaran, Mar 31 '13 at 00:26

Unfortunately gradients are not possible to do that way in Cascades.

I would recommend using an gradient image and ImagePaintDefinition. For example:

Container {
    layout: DockLayout {

    }
    preferredHeight: constants.headerHeight
    minHeight: preferredHeight
    maxHeight: preferredHeight

    minWidth: constants.screenWidth
    background: back.imagePaint

    attachedObjects: [
        Constants {
            id: constants
        },
        ImagePaintDefinition {
            id: back
            imageSource: "asset:///images/header_solid.png"
            repeatPattern: RepeatPattern.X
        }
    ]
}

Thanks Ergin, I hoped that there's another way, but this will help too — SPiiRT, Apr 02 '13 at 21:42
