QAbstractItemModel::match bug?

[Koyi]

I have a QCombobox wich model is a QSqlTableModel populated with a DataBase table:
Integer | String
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
|
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
0 | Normal
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
1 | Leve
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2 | Moderado
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
3 | Severo
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

the combobox works fine12346
but when I try to set the value in combo acording with the database table, I use this code


void MyComboBox::setValor(QVariant myValue)
{
QModelIndexList myFinded=this->model()->match(this->model()->index(0,0),Qt::DisplayRole,myValue,5,Qt::MatchFlag s(Qt::MatchExactly || Qt::MatchWrap));

this->setCurrentIndex(myFinded[0].row());
}

When myValue is 1, myFinded has 1 Index (corresponding to row 2)
When myValue is 2, myFinded has 1 Index (corresponding to row 3)
and so on
but when myValue is 0, myFinded has 2 Index (corresponding to row 0 and 1)
I don't understand why. Is this a bug? Or am I doing something wrong

Why is 4th argument in match() 5 ?

In fact I only expect to get 1 index in myFinded (the values in the table are Uniques). But the application didn't work propertly so I have increased Hits (number of hits until macht stop searching) from 1 to 5 (number of items in my table) to debug.

If myValue is other than 0, all work good, but when myValue=0 I get 2 indexes in myFinded

I found the problem (not the solution):(

QAbstractItemModel::match compares each value from the model with the searched value and return the indexes that match.
it uses the operator== method of QVariant, but it doesn't work fine

my table is 12347


QVariant var1=QVariant(0); // variant containing the integer 0

QSqlQueryModel *miConsulta=new QSqlQueryModel;

miConsulta->setQuery("Select Valor, Descripcion From myTable");
QVariant var2=miConsulta->record(0).value(0);


I get
var1
value: 0
type: QVariant(int)
isnull: false

var2
value:0
type: QVariant(int)
isnull: true

but var1==var2 return TRUE !!!!!!!!!

how can a null variant be equal to anything?????????
can somebody explain?
thank's

[Santosh Reddy]

That's the way it is :)


bool QVariant::isNull() const
Returns true if this is a null variant, false otherwise. A variant is considered null if it contains a default constructed value or a built-in type instance that has an isNull method, in which case the result would be the same as calling isNull on the wrapped object.
Warning: The result of the function doesn't affect == operator, which means that two values can be equal even if one of them is null and another is not.

By the way, do you realize that this is incorrect syntax for OR-ing flags?


Qt::MatchFlags(Qt::MatchExactly || Qt::MatchWrap)

It should be this:


Qt::MatchFlags(Qt::MatchExactly | Qt::MatchWrap)

A simple typo like this could lead to all sorts of unexplained behavior, because the result of the logical OR (||) will probably not be the same as the result of the bitwise OR (|).

Ohh my God!!!!:crying::crying: Great mistake
but in this case, the result is the same. The problem was that operator== don't work as I espected
