QT QListView (as icons)

[Majdi]

Hello all,
I'm web developer and also I used to write C++ code, Now I need to do a project for document clustering by using QT. I don't have experience with Qt , I read much and still have more than much to read, but because of the time, and I have to deliver this project for my university I need some help.

I'm sure that all the people here have more experience in QT than me , and maybe not only in QT :D

What I'm trying to do now is the interface.
I want to create QT QListView (as icons) but I did not find examples or tutorials to do this,
The image attached show what I want to do , so please if you have idea or which part of QT help I need to read tell me.

I just want the direction to do it , so tell me what should I read because really QT is sea .. and I don't want to be lost

Thanks a lot

look at this property QListView::viewMode (http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/qlistview.html#viewMode-prop).

Hi spirit, thanks for your fast response,

yes I already found the Property for switch mode.. now I'm trying to add Item for that list..

How to add Item ? can you give me example ?

Thanks

[spirit]

you can use list-model, see QStringListModel (http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/qstringlistmodel.html#details) or QStandardItemModel then set this model to view using setModel method of view. anyway, I suggest you to read Model view programming (http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/model-view-programming.html) for more information.

If you need something simple or do not feel proficient enough to use complex solutions, use QListWidget instead of QListView.

thanks guys I go to model / view , its nice but its need long time to learn so i used QListWidget as wysota said, its much much easier.

Now for that QListWidgetI want to create pop-up menu , so when someone click right click he can get the list to add items, so I go thought QMenu but I did not understand it in the right way... So anyone can gives me some hints ?
I search in the examples but I'm confused because the menu examples handle all type of menu so I did not understand where is the code that responsible for creating the Pop-up menu , can someone give me small example .... Thanks :)

Sorry guys , I'm really new

I just start QT from 1 month a go and most of time busy in my work as web developer....
