Question about a model with multiple views

**awhite1159** · 25th June 2008, 23:21

I have subclassed the QAbstractItemModel for a custom data structure and would like to utilize a splitter with a treeview and a tableview. I would like the treeview to only see the first column but the tableview to see all the columns. I looked at QSortFilterProxyModel but not sure if this is my answer. Will I need separate models to solve this problem?

No, QSortFilterProxyModel is the answer.

QTreeView::setColumnHidden() is also a solution.

Thanks. My apologies for all these questions. I have a good C++ programming background but must admit after only working/learning Qt for about a month, it can be pretty overwhelming with its feature/function richness. On top of that, I only do this as a hobby as I find programming to be good mental exercise.

Again thanks for your quick replies.
