    Post Can folder color be changed in QTreeView when QFilesystemModel displays drives?

    Well I have been working on a Qt app where I need to display Filesystem using QFilesystemModel.I have been able to display it as expected.
    Qt Code:
    1. QFileSystemModel *model = new QFileSystemModel;
    2. model->setRootPath(QDir::currentPath())
    3. tree->setModel(model);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    This displays all drives inside QTreeView. But we all know by default, the color of the folders present inside each drive is yellow. This is what i wanna change. Is there a way in Qt, where one can change the color of folder to “Blue”???

    No, we don't know that. If you mean the folder icon then on my system it is not yellow.

    You can subclass the model and reimplement its data() method to return an icon of your choice or you can provide a custom delegate that will render each item in a way you like. And no, there is no QMakeMyFolderIconBlueDelegate class, you have to write it yourself.
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

    Please ask Qt related questions on the forum and not using private messages or visitor messages.

    This is what I did now:
    In header file:
    Qt Code:
    1. class MyQFileSystemModel : public QFileSystemModel {
    2. public:
    3. QVariant data(const QModelIndex &index, int role) const;
    4. };
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    In cpp File:
    Qt Code:
    1. QVariant MyQFileSystemModel::data( const QModelIndex& index, int role ) const {
    2.  
    3. if( role == Qt::DecorationRole ) {
    4. return QVariant(QIcon(QPixmap(":\\P2Viewer\\Foldericon.PNG")));
    5. }
    6.  
    7. return QFileSystemModel::data(index, role);
    8. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Inside the constructor:
    Qt Code:
    1. MyQFileSystemModel* model = new MyQFileSystemModel;
    2. model->setRootPath(QDir::currentPath());
    3. ui->SecoTreeView->setModel(model);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    This changes the foldericon but also changes the icon of C: or D: drive. Basically I want to use 2 icons... One for folders within drives and other for the drive.

    Made a class which implements QIconProvider and it worked
    For future reference, here is the code:
    Qt Code:
    1. MyIconProvider::MyIconProvider()
    2. {
    3. m_Folder = QIcon(":\\P2Viewer\\Foldericon.PNG");
    4. m_hd = QIcon(":\\P2Viewer\\DriveIcon.PNG");
    5. m_default = QIcon(":\\P2Viewer\\Details.PNG");
    6. }
    7.  
    8. MyIconProvider::~MyIconProvider()
    9. {
    10. }
    11.  
    12. QIcon MyIconProvider::icon( const QFileInfo & info ) const
    13. {
    14. if(info.isRoot())
    15. {
    16. return m_hd;
    17. }
    18. else if(info.isDir())
    19. {
    20. return m_Folder;
    21. }
    22.  
    23. return m_default;
    24. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Header File:
    Qt Code:
    1. class MyIconProvider : public QFileIconProvider
    2. {
    3. public:
    4. MyIconProvider();
    5. ~MyIconProvider();
    6.  
    7. QIcon icon( const QFileInfo & info ) const;
    8.  
    9. private:
    10. QIcon m_Folder;
    11. QIcon m_hd;
    12. QIcon m_default;
    13. };
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    In MainWIndow:
    Qt Code:
    1. IconProv = new MyIconProvider();
    2. pSystemPrimaryModel = new QFileSystemModel();
    3. pSystemPrimaryModel->setRootPath(QDir::currentPath());
    4. pSystemPrimaryModel->setIconProvider(IconProv);
    5. pSystemPrimaryModel->setFilter( QDir::AllDirs | QDir::NoDotAndDotDot );
    6. ui->PrimTreeView->setModel(pSystemPrimaryModel);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    I hope this helps someone
