Extracting path of a file sleected from a listbox

[sargeslash]

Hi

I am trying to get the path of a selected file in a listbox.I am able to get the filename after selecting the file by the following code

QModelIndex index = ui->treeView->currentIndex();
ui->listWidget_2->addItem(index.data().toString());
I want to get the full path of the selected file also, if there is any way please guide me.

thanks

We have no idea what is in the model you have, how you populated it, or what non-full file name you have so we cannot possibly give you concrete direction.

Hi
I am sorry for so less information, I have used the following code

QFileSystemModel *model = new QFileSystemModel;
model->setRootPath("/home/");
ui->treeView->setModel(model);
ui->treeView->setRootIndex(model->index("/home/"));

So I have this file browser in my treeview and I am able to extract file names from this treeview to a listbox.
I also want to have full path of the selected file from the tree view.

Take a look at QFileInfo, you could use following

QString QFileInfo::fileName () const
QString QFileInfo::baseName () const;
QString QFileInfo::completeBaseName () const

QString QFileInfo::fileName () const
QString QFileInfo::baseName () const;
QString QFileInfo::completeBaseName () const

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Can I use the FileInfo for the selected index.data() from the treeView, since its not a file?

Yes you can. QFileInfo can be used with the file name (QString()) which can be index.data().

QAbstractItemView::currentIndex() in combination with QFileSystemModel::filePath() seems like the obvious option.

QFileSystemModel::filePath()
This worked for me, thank u all for the help
