no matching function error

Code:

I am writing a library for my movies collection which reads in xml data and stores into a tablewidget for gui/cmdline part. I have a strange error, although i specify that i want to use integer only, the compiler interprets as int& and give me error as below.

make: *** [.moc_obj/qcldata.o] Error 1

could someone please help me out with error, i think it is something simple and i am missing it..

Thanks

The 3rd parameter to QTableWidget::setItem() needs to be a pointer to a QTableWidgetItem. You need to create the QTableWidgetItem on the heap using new, instead of on the stack.

eg:

Code:

---

if(k.tagName() == "name"){tabmovies->setItem(counter,0,new QTableWidgetItem(k.text()));}

---

Hi,

better use

Code:

---

if(k.tagName() == "name"){tabmovies->setItem(counter,0,new QTableWidgetItem(k.text()));}
else if(k.tagName() == "weburl"){ tabmovies->setItem(counter,1,new QTableWidgetItem(k.text()));  }
else if(k.tagName() == "year"){tabmovies->setItem(counter,2,new QTableWidgetItem(k.text()));}

---

it will make your application faster. Further insertRow is the "wrong" function for you because you always add a empty row at 1 but set the content for the last line. So you probably want use QTableWidget::setRowCount().
