Add Items to QListView

[gaganbm]

Hi,

I am a complete beginner to Qt. Please pardon my stupid question!

I found many threads and examples related to this but still I am unable to clear it out. I have a listView created by Qt Creator. And I want to add items to the list just like the one figure I am attaching here. Every row consists of one small icon and a text label.

8469

How do I do that ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Anyways, this thing worked for me :

Now trying to set the proper icon size.

Hey Man,

I am not the best at C++ but this is how I would go about it...

Firstly, create a class for each of your QListItem's by using the following:


class MyListItem : QListWidgetItem
{
public:
QPixmap *icon_to_be_shown;
};


Now you will want to create the QListWidget itself and also create your actual item:


void Main()
{
//Create Our QListWidget
QListWidget *mylist = new QListWidget;

//Create Our Item
MyListItem *itm = new MyListItem;
itm->setText("My Item");
itm->icon_to_be_shown = "PATH TO PICTURE";

//Add Our Item To Our List
mylist->addItem(itm);
}


Hope this bit of code helps man, also you should look into QListWidget as oppose to QList =)

no need to subclass QListWidgetItem.


Please note the difference between QListWIDGET and QListVIEW! Check the docs to see which one you require.

How would he then go about assigning images to the items? or am i just overlooking something as usual xD

for starters, you should ask yourself how Qt would know what to do with your 'pointer = string literal'? Your solution won't do anything, even if it would compile... How does the list magically know about this pixmap pointer that you have added?



QPixmap *icon_to_be_shown;
icon_to_be_shown = "PATH TO PICTURE";

That doesn't make sense at all.

The docs are, as per usual, useful:
qlistwidgetitem.html#setIcon

Awww shit man, sorry about that, cannot believe that I completely overlooked the ->setIcon xD
Thanks man,
