I created my custom class (CustomObject), that inherit from QGraphicsItem. I use those object to draw on scene (rectangles, polygons and stuff) and I store pointers to them in QList. Now I need to display all my CustomOBjects in tableView, but there are 2 conditions:
- When I select and interact with object in tableview - I must be able to interact with "real" CustomObject represented by it (example: I selected obj1 in tableview and click button "delete" or "edit" - and I want to be able to interact with acctaul object (delet or edit it).
- When I add new or change it - i wish to see change in tableView.
I'm not sure if i can achieve that with jsut table view and soem custom mdoel - or shoud I make my own QAbstractItemModel class, but if i do - how do i do it? Shoud i make class inherit from QAbstractItemModel and add pointer to my CustomObject, or just force my CustomObjects into soem specific model?
Little bits of my code:
Here is my CustomObject.h //I removed some code that was stricly related to "personal" functions related with specific features of my app
class CustomObject : public QGraphicsItem
{
public:
CustomObject();
CustomObject(int _x, int _y, int _w, int _h);
virtual QRectF boundingRect() const;
void set_Name(QString name);
QString get_Name();
protected:
void mousePressEvent(QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent *event);
void mouseReleaseEvent(QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent *event);
void mouseMoveEvent(QGraphicsSceneMouseEvent *event);
private:
QString Name;
I store them in list, in my "Overseer" class:
class ObjOverseer
public:
void drawingCustomObject_Do(int x, int y); //This function creates new "CustomObject" and adds it to the list (below)
QList<CustomObject*> ObjectsList_CustomObjects;
In my mainwindow - I simply create that ObjOverseer and keep its pointer.
EDIT 1
I used this example: https://doc.qt.io/archives/4.6/itemviews-addressbook.html and created this class:
CustomModelOfCustomObject::CustomModelOfCustomObject()
{
}
CustomModelOfCustomObject::CustomModelOfCustomObject(QObject *parent)
: QAbstractTableModel(parent)
{
}
CustomModelOfCustomObject::CustomModelOfCustomObject(QList<CustomObject*> objects, QObject *parent)
: QAbstractTableModel(parent)
{
ListOfObjects=objects;
}
int CustomModelOfCustomObject::rowCount(const QModelIndex &parent) const
{
Q_UNUSED(parent);
return ListOfObjects.size();
}
int CustomModelOfCustomObject::columnCount(const QModelIndex &parent) const
{
Q_UNUSED(parent);
return 2;//TODO - ZMIENIC ILOSC KOLUMN
}
QVariant CustomModelOfCustomObject::data(const QModelIndex &index, int role) const
{
if (!index.isValid())
return QVariant();
if (index.row() >= ListOfObjects.size() || index.row() < 0)
return QVariant();
if (role == Qt::DisplayRole) {
CustomObject* obj = ListOfObjects.at(index.row());
if (index.column() == 0)
return obj->get_Name();
else if (index.column() == 1)
return obj->get_Address();
}
return QVariant();
}
QVariant CustomModelOfCustomObject::headerData(int section, Qt::Orientation orientation, int role) const
{
if (role != Qt::DisplayRole)
return QVariant();
if (orientation == Qt::Horizontal) {
switch (section) {
case 0:
return tr("Name");
case 1:
return tr("Address");
default:
return QVariant();
}
}
return QVariant();
}
bool CustomModelOfCustomObject::insertRows(int position, int rows, const QModelIndex &index)
{
Q_UNUSED(index);
beginInsertRows(QModelIndex(), position, position+rows-1);
for (int row=0; row < rows; row++) {
CustomObject* obj;
ListOfObjects.insert(position, obj);
}
endInsertRows();
return true;
}
bool CustomModelOfCustomObject::removeRows(int position, int rows, const QModelIndex &index)
{
Q_UNUSED(index);
beginRemoveRows(QModelIndex(), position, position+rows-1);
for (int row=0; row < rows; ++row) {
ListOfObjects.removeAt(position);
}
endRemoveRows();
return true;
}
bool CustomModelOfCustomObject::setData(const QModelIndex &index, const QVariant &value, int role)
{
if (index.isValid() && role == Qt::EditRole) {
int row = index.row();
CustomObject* p = ListOfObjects.value(row);
if (index.column() == 0)
p->set_Name(value.toString());
else if (index.column() == 1)
p->set_Address(value.toString());
else
return false;
ListOfObjects.replace(row, p);
emit(dataChanged(index, index));
return true;
}
return false;
}
Qt::ItemFlags CustomModelOfCustomObject::flags(const QModelIndex &index) const
{
if (!index.isValid())
return Qt::ItemIsEnabled;
return QAbstractTableModel::flags(index) | Qt::ItemIsEditable;
}
QList<CustomObject*> CustomModelOfCustomObject::getList()
{
return ListOfObjects;
}
But still, when i reach point in my function where i shoud use this model- i dont know hwo i shoud add it or even if i will be able to use it as intended.
EDIT 2 When i chaned ListOfObject to public and tried:
MyModel->ListOfObjects.append(newObj);
all crashed
