QTreeWidget or QTreeView ?

I'm designing a mainMenu form a bit like Qt Assistant and other GUI forms I've seen with a tree on the left and a stackedWidget on the right.
I want to react to a tree item selection and flip the stackedWidget to the corresponding page. The cleanest and less-coding method I can think of is obtaining an integer of the selected menu item row so in my code I can simply code

Code:

---

stackedWidget->setCurrentIndex(row)

---

I've experimented with both QTreeWidget or QTreeView and in both cases, I have to extract the parent and child and write a long if...else if...endif block to see what was selected. If there's no row() function available in either QTreeWidget or QTreeView I would probably add an invisible column that holds an int row.
I also want to dynamically be able to insert or remove pages to the stackedWidget and update the tree at runtime via double-click and/or context menu on the tree.

Which is more suitable...QTreeWidget or QTreeView ?
All comments and criticism cheerfully accepted.
Thanks,

I don't think you need any long if statements for either QTreeWidget or QTreeView. The most straightforward way is to connect to currentItemChanged() or selectionModel()->currentChanged() signal (depending on the tree class you choose). Then you'll be able to use QModelIndex::row() to obtain the integer you want.

This only returns the row for the parent. What's needed is this:
Parent 1
child 1
child 2
Parent 2
child 1
child 2
so the last item should return 5, not 1.

hi,

QTreeView is meant to use with ItemModels i.e. when you have single data model and several views that shows it's contents in a different way or if you are viewing dbase contents(via QSql*Model which deals with dbase for you).
QTreeWidget is in deed QTreeView with internal model & methods that deals with model in context of indexes.

I think QTreeWidget is better for you, because you need single view, so providing model isn't necessary and QTreeWidget gives you some simplifications like mentioned row calculation.
