    Default Subclassing QDirModel to Add Extra Columns Results in Empty Columns!

    Hello I am new to Qt and can't figure out why I can add a column header, but the data never populates...It always sends ::data indexes 0-3 as if it doesn't know there is an additional column, but I see 0-4 columns:
    Name | Size | Type | Date | [My File Attribute]

    What I am doing wrong? Here is my header and implementation file:

    FileModel.h
    Qt Code:
    1. #ifndef FILEMODEL_H
    2. #define FILEMODEL_H
    3.  
    4. #include <QtGui>
    5.  
    6. class FileModel : public QDirModel
    7. {
    8. QOBJECT
    9.  
    10. public:
    11.  
    12. FileModel(QWidget *parent = 0)
    13.  
    14. ~FileModel();
    15.  
    16. virtual QModelIndex index(int row, int column, const QModelIndex &parent = QModelIndex()) const;
    17.  
    18. virtual QModelIndex index(const QString &path, int column = 0) const;
    19.  
    20. virtual QModelIndex parent(const QModelIndex &index) const;
    21.  
    22. virtual int rowCount(const QModelIndex &parent = QModelIndex()) const;
    23.  
    24. virtual int columnCount(const QModelIndex &parent = QModelIndex()) const;
    25.  
    26. virtual QVariant data(const QModelIndex &index, int role = Qt:DisplayRole) const;
    27.  
    28. virtual QVariant headerData(int section, Qt::Orientation orientation, int role = Qt::DisplayRole) const;
    29. };
    30. #endif // FILEMODEL_H

    Works for me after fixing all the compilation errors:

    PS. What's the point overriding all those index, parent etc. methods? By the way, one of them is not even virtual.

    Sorry about the compilation errors, the code is on a machine that's hard to get things from. What version of Qt are you using?

    I am using 4.3.2 perhaps worth an upgrade?

    I just remember reading to implement all those functions...for now I just put the calls to QDirModel...what are some things you would recommend as I am only just starting with Qt.

    Appreciate your quick responses as well!

    Hmm, does it change anything if you implement columnCount() like this:
    Qt Code:
    1. int FileModel::columnCount(const QModelIndex &parent) const
    2. {
    3. int count = QDirModel::columnCount(parent);
    4. if (count > 0)
    5. {
    6. count++; // Adding one column to QDirModel
    7. }
    8. return count;
    9. }

    No that did not change it, the other curious thing is that it only hits that function maybe a total of 15 times for a listing of 1000 files...

    How about simply returning QDirModel::columnCount()+1? Or even "5"?

    Thumbs up Re: Subclassing QDirModel to Add Extra Columns Results in Empty Columns!

    Ok, the problem was Qt 4.3.2 and maybe other versions. I am on solaris I upgraded yesterday (on a sparc! ) Anyway, you are correct it works. Should've asked the night before I kept thinking it was something I was doing, but all the reading was probably a good idea anyway. Thanks y'all!
