how to repaint the custom delegate

[yuyue]

hi:
i have a listview with custom delegate and model. i want a checkbox in each row,and click the checkbox or the row will lead to different functions. i do not know how to handle this.but i found a method to handle it. i use a bool to determine whether to draw checkbox or not.this codes were written in QAbstractItemDelegate::paint.and a button to decide the bool's value.
so here comes the problem,when i click the button,the checkbox did not show.when i move my mouse,it will appear.so i know i should send some singals or somethings to trigger the checkbox show.but i do not know ,how to do that things.please help me.thankx.

Do you really need custom delegate ? You could have used QListWidgetItem and QListWidgetItem::setCheckState .

Still hard to help you without seeing some code.

Did you try QListView::update or QListView::repaint when the Edit button is clicked ?

[yuyue]

i had tried QListIView::repaint, it no works. but QListView::update need a QModelIndex, and i do not know how to make one.so it is still stuck. and do you know how to send out the mouse movement event,if we know that,this problem will be solved.

i found a special method to solve this problem. when i clicked the button,i call a function in delegate,which emit dataChanged signal.thus the paint function in model will be called and my checkbox will show in the frame.

hi yuyue,
can you explain and/or post your solution, because I have the same kind of issue with my paint update from my delegate ?

Best Regards.

Ok I find a way to repaint using
view->setFocus()
