Adding QPixmaps to QListView

[ada10]

I am adding QPixmap objects to a QLIstView in a custom widget. I am using the following code to do it -

mContentItemModel = new QStandardItemModel(this);
    ui->listView->setModel(mContentItemModel);
    ui->listView->clearSelection();
    ui->listView->setSelectionMode(QAbstractItemView::SingleSelection);
    ui->listView->setWordWrap(true);
 
    QStandardItem* listitem1 = new QStandardItem();
    QStandardItem* listitem2 = new QStandardItem();
    QStandardItem* listitem3 = new QStandardItem();
 
    QPixmap pmap1("c:\\thumbnail1.jpg");
    QVariant var1 = pmap1;
    QVariant var2 = pmap1;
    QVariant var3 = pmap1;
    listitem1->setData( var1, Qt::DisplayRole );
    listitem2->setData( var2, Qt::DisplayRole );
    listitem3->setData( var3, Qt::DisplayRole );
 
    mContentItemModel->appendRow(listitem1);
    mContentItemModel->appendRow(listitem2);
    mContentItemModel->appendRow(listitem3);

mContentItemModel = new QStandardItemModel(this);
    ui->listView->setModel(mContentItemModel);
    ui->listView->clearSelection();
    ui->listView->setSelectionMode(QAbstractItemView::SingleSelection);
    ui->listView->setWordWrap(true);

    QStandardItem* listitem1 = new QStandardItem();
    QStandardItem* listitem2 = new QStandardItem();
    QStandardItem* listitem3 = new QStandardItem();

    QPixmap pmap1("c:\\thumbnail1.jpg");
    QVariant var1 = pmap1;
    QVariant var2 = pmap1;
    QVariant var3 = pmap1;
    listitem1->setData( var1, Qt::DisplayRole );
    listitem2->setData( var2, Qt::DisplayRole );
    listitem3->setData( var3, Qt::DisplayRole );

    mContentItemModel->appendRow(listitem1);
    mContentItemModel->appendRow(listitem2);
    mContentItemModel->appendRow(listitem3);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

When I run the application , the pixmaps are not displayed in the listview. Any idea what changes are required to display the pixmaps? Should i create a custom delegate class for this ?

Try using QStandardItem::setIcon
DisplayRole is meant as text.

...or use Qt:ecorationRole.

I tried using the setIcon API of QStandardItem API. But the image appears very small.. that is not what I want, i want the image to be bigger ( I should be able to control the size of the image). I want to have a custom widget being displayed there ... any solutions to this ?
