Qt tree widget with check boxes iteration

[denton17]

Hi there,

I just started learing Qt and I am trying to create a Tree widget which will have only one column and the items will have check boxes. So i managed to achieve that, and now begins my problem.

What I want fist is every time i check on one tree item, I want to print the text of the item on a EditText area, and when I am unchecking it to remove it from the EditText area . So my issues are 2: I cant find a way to get the text from the tree item, and also at the signal- slots there is no choice for check box in the tree item, but just for selection double click and etc.

Any help is really appreciated

Thanks Nick

Hi Nick,

In setData which is where I presume you check your item, use the following to get the text:

QString text = index.internalPointer()->data( index, Qt::DisplayRole ).toString();

QString text = index.internalPointer()->data( index, Qt::DisplayRole ).toString();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Once this done you could emit a custom signal with the text of interest. Also, if you have written setData remember to

emit dataChanged( index, index );

emit dataChanged( index, index );

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Caveat: I haven't tested this code but I think it should work...
