Problems with getting QTreeView selected Index?

[mut]

Hello;

I'm writing Qt widget application. I'm having a QTreeView located on a QTabWidget, this QTabWidget itself located on my QMainWindow.

This following code does not give me the correct selected index when called from QMainWindow method:

QModelIndex CurrentIndex = ui->MyTreeView->currentIndex();

Which one of the four followings approach should I use:

1)
QModelIndexList indexes = ui->MyTreeView->selectionModel()->selection().indexes();

// then capture the particular index in a loop

2)
QModelIndex currentIndex = ui->MTreeView->selectionModel()->currentIndex();

3)
QModelIndex CurrentIndex = ui->MreeView->currentIndex();

4)
void Parent::slot_MyTreeView_selectionChanged()
{
m_SelectedIndex= ui->MyTreeView->currentIndex();
}

Which one is the best?

Is my problem a focus problem?

Should I capture QTreeView selected index only when the QTreeView is visible and my mouse is on it (I'm asking this because sometimes the problematic code works fine)?

The current selection does not necessarily have to be the current index.

Current index can always only be one, while a view can have a lot of indexes selected.

So it depends on what you want to achieve. The current index is the one with "keyboard focus".

Thank you for the reply. I want to have the index of the first item (column 0) of a row when the row is selected by the user.

That sounds like a use case for reacting to the selectionChanged() signal and the extracting the wanted index from the connected slot's arguments.
