Populate a custom model

[Str Anger]

Hi everyone !

I have navigated through the Internet all day to find an answer to my question, but it seems that the answer is too obvious to be posted on the web. So here it is :

How do I set custom items to my custom models ?

I have been on the Qt Doc page related to the QAbstracItemModel, and have no clue on which methods to call to let the model know I created new rows (tried beginInsertRows() / insertRow () / endInsertRows() but it did not seem to have any effect) and even if I would have succeeded, how will the model know that he has to check on my QList<MyCustomItem *> to populate himself (and create the QModelIndexes that I'll need to use afterwards).

I hope I have been clear enough on my questions (I could have linked my code, but it is quite long).

I thank you for any answer, and am sorry for my poor english.

Yes, beginInsertRows() and endInsertRows() make sure that any view using the model will know to update itself.

So you
1) call beginInsertRows()
2) modify your list
3) call endInsertRows()

Assuming of course you have implemented rowCount() to check the size of the list and data() to access the list.
And columnCount() in case this is a table model.

Which of the three base classes did you derive from?

Cheers,
