setItemWidget in QWidgetList does not work

[Quabla]

Hey

i want to create a list of widges. each item should have a label and three buttons (like my SSH_list_item). i tried it like this:

void sshfsGUI::create_new_entry(QString name, QString mountpoint, QString address){
    SSH_list_item* list_item = new SSH_list_item(name, mountpoint, address, this);
    QListWidgetItem* item = new QListWidgetItem(name);
    ui->SSH_List->addItem(name);
    ui->SSH_List->setItemWidget(item, list_item);
    list_item->show();
}

void sshfsGUI::create_new_entry(QString name, QString mountpoint, QString address){
    SSH_list_item* list_item = new SSH_list_item(name, mountpoint, address, this);
    QListWidgetItem* item = new QListWidgetItem(name);
    ui->SSH_List->addItem(name);
    ui->SSH_List->setItemWidget(item, list_item);
    list_item->show();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

the class looks like this:

class SSH_list_item : public QDialog
{
    Q_OBJECT
 
public:
    explicit SSH_list_item(QWidget *parent = 0);
    SSH_list_item(QString _name, QString _mountpoint, QString _address, QWidget *parent=0);
    ~SSH_list_item();
 
private:
    Ui::SSH_list_item *ui;
    QString name, mountpoint, address;
};

class SSH_list_item : public QDialog
{
    Q_OBJECT
    
public:
    explicit SSH_list_item(QWidget *parent = 0);
    SSH_list_item(QString _name, QString _mountpoint, QString _address, QWidget *parent=0);
    ~SSH_list_item();
    
private:
    Ui::SSH_list_item *ui;
    QString name, mountpoint, address;
};

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

but what i get is a list of strings and the widget as a separate window. when i leave out " list_item->show();" there is only the list of strings.

what am i doing wrong?

Your "item" has no relation to the list widget. You are adding a string to the list which effectively creates a new item independent of your "item" object.

thank you i changed it to

void sshfsGUI::create_new_entry(QString name,QString mountpoint ,QString address){
    SSH_list_item* list_item = new SSH_list_item(name, mountpoint, address, this);
    QListWidgetItem* item = new QListWidgetItem(name);
    ui->SSH_List->addItem(item);
    ui->SSH_List->setItemWidget(item, list_item);
    list_item->show();
}

void sshfsGUI::create_new_entry(QString name,QString mountpoint ,QString address){
    SSH_list_item* list_item = new SSH_list_item(name, mountpoint, address, this);
    QListWidgetItem* item = new QListWidgetItem(name);
    ui->SSH_List->addItem(item);
    ui->SSH_List->setItemWidget(item, list_item);
    list_item->show();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

now there is only the string list. the seperate windows do not appear anymore

edit: ok the mistake is in the order. i have to show the widget before adding it, like this:

void sshfsGUI::create_new_entry(QString name,QString mountpoint ,QString address){
    SSH_list_item* list_item = new SSH_list_item(name, mountpoint, address, this);
    QListWidgetItem* item = new QListWidgetItem(name);
    list_item->show();
    ui->SSH_List->addItem(item);
    ui->SSH_List->setItemWidget(item, list_item);
}

void sshfsGUI::create_new_entry(QString name,QString mountpoint ,QString address){
    SSH_list_item* list_item = new SSH_list_item(name, mountpoint, address, this);
    QListWidgetItem* item = new QListWidgetItem(name);
    list_item->show();
    ui->SSH_List->addItem(item);
    ui->SSH_List->setItemWidget(item, list_item);
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

but there are new issues: only the widget of the last SSH_list_item added is visible and the name of it appears to times. and when i change the size og the main widget, the SSH_list_item widget disappears and again all i see is the string list.

Your problem has to be elsewhere. The code you posted looks fine.
