help in tableview

[bala]

Hi,
I created tableview using designer and trying
to get data from mysql table and displaying on it.
The prigram is running without error.
But nothing is displaying in the view.
Please some one help me.
the code looks like

main.cc

#include <QtGui>
#include "database.h"
#include "ui_tableview.h"

class mainwindow :public QMainWindow ,Ui::MainWindow
{
public:
QSqlTableModel *model;
mainwindow()
{
setupUi(this);
model = new QSqlTableModel;
database db;
db.create_connection();
tableView = db.initializeModel(model);

}



};

int main(int argc,char *argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc,argv);
mainwindow *window = new mainwindow;
window->show();
app.exec();

}

database.cc

#include "database.h"
database::database()
{
table = new QSqlTableModel;

}

bool database::create_connection()
{
QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QMYSQL");
db.setHostName("localhost");
db.setDatabaseName("dicom");
db.setUserName("root");
if (!db.open()) {
QMessageBox::critical(0, qApp->tr("Cannot open database"),
qApp->tr("Unable to establish a database connection.\n"
"This example needs SQLite support. Please read "
"the Qt SQL driver documentation for information how "
"to build it.\n\n"
"Click Cancel to exit."), QMessageBox::Cancel);
return false;
}
std::cout<<"db connected"<<std::endl;
return true;
}

QTableView *database::initializeModel(QSqlTableModel *model)
{

view = new QTableView;
model->setTable("report");
model->setEditStrategy(QSqlTableModel::OnManualSubmit);
model->select();

model->setHeaderData(0, Qt::Horizontal, QObject::tr("ID"));
model->setHeaderData(1, Qt::Horizontal, QObject::tr("First name"));
model->setHeaderData(2, Qt::Horizontal, QObject::tr("Last name"));
view->setModel( model );
cout<<"i am in initializeModel"<<endl;
//QSqlTableView *view = new QTableView;
//view->setModel( model );
return view;

}

thanks in advance.

What look a bit strange for me is that you have two instances of QTableView and two instances of QSqlTableModel.

Most likely the returned instance of QTableView of the method QTableView *database::initializeModel(QSqlTableModel *model) is senceless.

Use the instance in the ui-class instead.

Good luck

thanks for ur suggestion.
please give me a sample code,
as i am new to Qt and C++,
i don't how to write for this instance.

thanks a lot:)

One thing shall be clear: this forum is here for teaching software development or programming. There a lot of good books out there:
