I have created a QTreeWidget, I'm trying to list all the items displayed.
I do not want to go inside the items if the item have child but not expanded. It's really getting the number of Items I can see in the tree.
I have tried :
for( int i = 0; i < MyTreeWidget->topLevelItemCount(); ++i )
{
QTreeWidgetItem *item = MyTreeWidget->topLevelItem(i);
...
but this is giving me only the topLevelItem and I want all I can see. In the example, I should be able to count 14 items
You can write a recursive function that will run over the hierarchy and count all visible items. For example:
int treeCount(QTreeWidget *tree, QTreeWidgetItem *parent = 0)
{
int count = 0;
if (parent == 0) {
int topCount = tree->topLevelItemCount();
for (int i = 0; i < topCount; i++) {
QTreeWidgetItem *item = tree->topLevelItem(i);
if (item->isExpanded()) {
count += treeCount(tree, item);
}
}
count += topCount;
} else {
int childCount = parent->childCount();
for (int i = 0; i < childCount; i++) {
QTreeWidgetItem *item = parent->child(i);
if (item->isExpanded()) {
count += treeCount(tree, item);
}
}
count += childCount;
}
return count;
}
And the usage:
QTreeWidget tw;
// Add items
[..]
int visibleItemsCount = treeCount(&tw);
Just ran into this myself for PyQt. There's actually a much easier solution, you just need to use the QTreeWidgetItemIterator (which already loops over all items in the tree, as the name suggests). I don't know C++ so here's my python solution, however the theory is obviously the same. You want to iterate over the QTreeWidget and any items which are expanded should be counted. Namely:
def count_tems(self):
count = 0
iterator = QtGui.QTreeWidgetItemIterator(self) # pass your treewidget as arg
while iterator.value():
item = iterator.value()
if item.parent():
if item.parent().isExpanded():
count +=1
else:
# root item
count += 1
iterator += 1
return count
