Edit items on QTreeView + QDirModel

**junior0007** · 22nd November 2007, 16:24

Hey guys,

i am wondering how to edit items within a QTreeView + QDirModel. Editing items is -by default- on doubleClick. That works. However since i want to use the doubleClick to open the selected files i need to have the renaming functionality on a rightClickEvent.

Unfortunately i can't find the right way. Can anybody give me a hand on that?

Thanks guys.

Change the editTriggers property of the view.

By defalut editing is not on double click but on click selected - those two are different actions that can be used together.

To be exact, any QAbstractItemView uses edit triggers

Qt Code:

Switch view

QAbstractItemView::DoubleClicked|QAbstractItemView::EditKeyPressed

QAbstractItemView::DoubleClicked|QAbstractItemView::EditKeyPressed

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

by default, and QTableView adds

Qt Code:

Switch view

editTriggers|QAbstractItemView::AnyKeyPressed

editTriggers|QAbstractItemView::AnyKeyPressed

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

to that.

So my mistake, sorry.
but QAbstractItemView::SelectedClicked (| QAbstractItemView::EditKeyPressed) editTrigger is windows default behavior so there's no need to edit items on rightClicks.
