QML animations visible property changes

Question

I want an animation to be painted when an element becomes visible (is should appear smoothly, not the whole at all)

I tried this

states: State
{
    name

Just for future references, here's my solution which takes care also of Vasco's warning. Basically I'm animating the visible property of the component after the opacity has changed. It hurts seeing a NumberAnimation on a boolean, but it's working:

states: [
    State{
        name: "Visible"
        PropertyChanges{target: root; opacity: 1.0}
        PropertyChanges{target: root; visible: true}
    },
    State{
        name:"Invisible"
        PropertyChanges{target: root; opacity: 0.0}
        PropertyChanges{target: root; visible: false}
    }
]

transitions: [
        Transition {
            from: "Visible"
            to: "Invisible"

            SequentialAnimation{
               NumberAnimation {
                   target: root
                   property: "opacity"
                   duration: 500
                   easing.type: Easing.InOutQuad
               }
               NumberAnimation {
                   target: root
                   property: "visible"
                   duration: 0
               }
            }
        },
        Transition {
            from: "Invisible"
            to: "Visible"
            SequentialAnimation{
               NumberAnimation {
                   target: root
                   property: "visible"
                   duration: 0
               }
               NumberAnimation {
                   target: root
                   property: "opacity"
                   duration: 500
                   easing.type: Easing.InOutQuad
               }
            }
        }
    ]

This introduces also a transition when the component is vanishing.
