BB 10 Cascades qml sending a simple email

I found one example in the the git hub for BB 10 for sending an email, but it looks pretty complicated and alot done in C.

does anyone have an example on how to send a quick email using QML. I don't need any buttons or text fields, just hard coded values.

I found this simple snip, but dont' know how to integrate it.

https://developer.blackberry.com/cascades/documentation/device_platform/pim/messages.html

Any help would be appreciated.

Following code will open a sheet with email composer having all the specified email fields prepopulated:

import bb.cascades 1.0

Page {
    Container {
        horizontalAlignment: HorizontalAlignment.Fill
        layout: DockLayout {
        }

        Container {
            horizontalAlignment: HorizontalAlignment.Center
            verticalAlignment: VerticalAlignment.Center
            TextArea {
                id: emailBody
            }
            Button {
                text: "Send email"
                onClicked: {
                    emailInvocation.query.uri = "mailto:[email protected]?subject=Test&body=" + emailBody.text
                    emailInvocation.query.updateQuery();
                }
            }
        }
    }

    attachedObjects: [
        Invocation {
            id: emailInvocation
            query.mimeType: "text/plain"
            query.invokeTargetId: "sys.pim.uib.email.hybridcomposer"
            query.invokeActionId: "bb.action.SENDEMAIL"
            onArmed: {
                emailInvocation.trigger(emailInvocation.query.invokeActionId);
            }
        }
    ]
}

In main.cpp after creating your QmlDocument, qml->setContextProperty("yourshortcut", object);

void xxx::invokeEmail(){
InvokeManager invokeManager;
InvokeRequest request;
request.setTarget("sys.pim.uib.email.hybridcomposer");
request.setAction("bb.action.COMPOSE");
request.setMimeType("message/rfc822");

InvokeTargetReply *reply = invokeManager.invoke(request);
if(reply) {
    reply->setParent(this);
    QObject::connect(reply, SIGNAL(finished()),this, SLOT(onInvokeResult()));
    _invokeTargetReply = reply;
}
delete reply;
}

void xxx::onInvokeResult()
{
// Check for errors
switch(_invokeTargetReply->error()) {
// Invocation could not find the target
// did we use the right target ID?
case InvokeReplyError::NoTarget: {
    qDebug() << "invokeFinished(): Error: no target" << endl;
    break;
}
// There was a problem with the invoke request
// did we set all the values correctly?
case InvokeReplyError::BadRequest: {
    qDebug() << "invokeFinished(): Error: bad request" << endl;
    break;
}
// Something went completely
// wrong inside the invocation request
// Find an alternate route :(
case InvokeReplyError::Internal: {
    qDebug() << "invokeFinished(): Error: internal" << endl;
    break;
}
//Message received if the invoke request is successful
default:
    qDebug() << "invokeFinished(): Invoke Succeeded" << endl;
    break;
}

// A little house keeping never hurts...
delete _invokeTargetReply;
}

Then in QML call the C++ function invokeEmail using the shortcut you created with the context property. I use this to invoke the email card
