[Solved] Saving List from QAbstractItemModel
-
Hi and thanks again!
This code is not in the main (and the main looks like your example main). Instead it is in a method:void MainWindow::reviewSetup()
{QMessageBox questionBox; QWidget window; QStringList textList; QStringList changedTextList;// make a list (next four lines)
textList=topScene->generateFileText();
foreach(DispDiagramScene *scene,dispSceneList) {
textList.append(scene->generateFileText());
}QAbstractItemModel *model = new QStringListModel(textList); QListView *view = new QListView; QPushButton *quitButton = new QPushButton("Quit"); QObject::connect(quitButton, SIGNAL(clicked()),qApp,SLOT(quit())); QVBoxLayout *layout = new QVBoxLayout; view->setModel(model); layout->addWidget(view); layout->addWidget(quitButton); window.setLayout(layout); window.show();}
I'm not familiar with QFrame. Are you suggesting that I use the three lines you provided verbatim, instead of the final two lines in my existing code (the window code)?
Much obliged!

Well whatever you create on the stack is deleted when leaving the scope in which it was created. If you want anything to persist, create it on the heap (and you'll need to take care of memory management yourself). So in this case, you should be creating QWidget on the heap. (not QWidget window; but QWidget *window = new QWidget;)
(PS: use code tags around larger portions of code, see the "<>" button above the reply text box)

Yes , try and check if it works.

No, it won't work as intended. First of all QFrame and QWidget don't make a functional difference here. Second he doesn't want to set the central widget of his main window, but create a new floating window, is that correct? -

[/quote]Yes QFrame and QWidget doesnt make much difference here. The main thing is to create on heap instead of stack. If it is a floating widget then widget->show() can be used otherwise setCentralWidget() in order to add it to MainWindow.
Edit: For a sample application i was using QFrame so pasted the same code. use QWidget :)

Thank you DerManu and Sam!
With your help I was able to succeed!
When you say "You'll need to take care of memory management yourself", that means I'll have to delete the QWidget when I am done with it, right? In Qt I can do that with a simple command, (rather than by subclassing QWidget to create a destructor)?
