Good day.
I have the following problem:
1.) I have created a custom datatype "myType", declared it and it works like a charm.
It includes an integer and a QStringList.
2.) I am using this type in my model - it is a QAbstractItemModel based tree model. When i am creating the model structure i create this type, insert it into a QVariant and attach the QVariant into a Node. No surprises here.
3.) The model returns the QVariant including my type in the data() function. Also standard procedure.
4.) In my view i am using QDataWidgetMapper to map widgets to the model.
When i map my widgets there are no problems with the standard datatypes. But when i map my custom type to a widget, the widget does not get updated.
I understand that i could return only the integer part of my type in my model's data() function, but i need access to the QStringList from my View.
Is it possible to integrate a custom type into QVariant so the QDataWidgetMapper will automatically map the desired type variable to my widget? If yes, how?
p.s. I have not included any source code because it would in my opinion clutter the question, and because my final question is quite simple. Thank you.
