QML How to dynamically access ListView items - c++

Question

I have a ListView which has dynamically added Items, and what I kinda want to know is how I could access items for example by index. Specifically, I want to have the color of the item rectangle change when I change the color using the Color Dialog. I guessed it should be maybe possible to first set a variable to the current item before calling the color dialog and then in the onAccepted method change the color of that item using the variable, but I don't know how to achieve anything of this in QML, because I am rather new to QML. Maybe you can offer even a cleaner way to change the color of the item's rectangle when the color dialog was closed (onAccepted). Thx for any help! :)

Here is a sure fire way to make a working colorDialog --
in playerDelegate
Component {
id: playerDelegate
Item {
anchors.left: parent.left
anchors.right: parent.right
height: 50
Column {
Text {
text: '<b>Name:</b> ' + name
}
/* Object to store value from color selector */
Item {
id: colorSelector
property color color: "#000000"
onColorChanged: { playerColor = color; }
}
/* box to display color */
Rectangle {
//Layout.fillWidth: true
height: 120
width: 120
anchors.left: button.right
//Layout.alignment: Qt.AlignHCenter
color: colorSelector.color
border.width: 1
border.color: "#000000"
}
/* button to open dialog -- can be mousearea or other clickable object */
Button {
id: button
text: "Browse..."
onClicked: {
colorDialog.color = colorSelector.color
colorDialog.open()
}
}
/* actual color dialog for this delegate */
ColorDialog {
id: colorDialog
modality: Qt.ApplicationModal
title: "Please choose a color"
onAccepted: colorSelector.color = currentColor
}
}
}
}
