QList err : expected primary-expression before ‘)’ token

[mkts]

Hi all
Please for support and help
Thanks in advance!

my list in .h file
 
QList < FilmDoc > * pDocList;
 
void FilmApp::openDocumentFile (const char *file)
{
  statusBar ()->message (tr ("Opening file..."));
 
  QList <FilmDoc> doc = *pDocList;
 
  // if this might help function has to check if file is already opened
  // and if yes then setFocus to opened view
  for ( int i = 0; i < doc.size (); ++i ) {
     if ( doc.contains ( doc& ) == file ){// this line generate err
 
        FilmView * view = doc->firstView ();
        view->setFocus ();
        return;
     }
  }
...
}

my list in .h file

QList < FilmDoc > * pDocList;

void FilmApp::openDocumentFile (const char *file)
{
  statusBar ()->message (tr ("Opening file..."));

  QList <FilmDoc> doc = *pDocList;
  
  // if this might help function has to check if file is already opened
  // and if yes then setFocus to opened view
  for ( int i = 0; i < doc.size (); ++i ) {
     if ( doc.contains ( doc& ) == file ){// this line generate err

        FilmView * view = doc->firstView ();
        view->setFocus ();
        return;
     }
  }
...
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

doc.contains ( doc& ) makes no sense.
you probably want:

if(doc.at(i) == file){
...
}

if(doc.at(i) == file){
...
}

thx but this code is generating msg;

"error: no match for ‘operator==’ in ‘doc.QList<T>::at [with T = FilmDoc](i) == file’
candidates are: bool operator==(QBool, bool)
...
and much more of this
"

it means that FilmDoc has no '==' operator.
You will have to compare some property of FilmDoc to make sure you have the one you need.
If there is no such property, you will have to implement the '==' operator.
But you probably can get away with storing pointers, which you can compare, and they are unique per item.
QList<FilmDoc *> myList;
