[SOLVED] QSqlRelationalDelegate

Al79

Hi all,

i have some trouble using QSqlRelationalDelegate with last qt version: 5.0.1.

I wrote this code, that works with qt-4.8:
@
//scadenze.h:
#ifndef SCADENZE_H
#define SCADENZE_H

class QTableView;
class QSqlRelationalTableModel;
class QSqlDatabase;

#include "database.h"

class Scadenze
{
public:
Scadenze();
private:
void initModel();
void NewStabili();

Database *m_database;
QTableView *table;
QSqlRelationalTableModel *model;

};

#endif // SCADENZE_H
@

@
//scadenze.cpp:
#include "scadenze.h"

#include <QtWidgets/QTableView>
#include <QSqlRelationalTableModel>
#include <QSqlDatabase>
#include <QtWidgets/QHeaderView>
//i tried with: #include <QSqlRelationalDelegate> too:
#include <QtSql/QSqlRelationalDelegate>

Scadenze::Scadenze()
{
//stabili = new Stabili();
//showtables = new ShowTables();

m_database = new Database();
m_database->connection();
m_database->createTables();

initModel();

table = new QTableView();
table->setModel(model);
table->setItemDelegate(new QSqlRelationalDelegate(table));//line 30
table->horizontalHeader()->setSectionResizeMode(QHeaderView::Stretch);
table->verticalHeader()->setSectionResizeMode(QHeaderView::Stretch);

}
[...]

Thanks in advance for your help.

A further note:

qt docs says that my code should work:

"http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtsql/qsqlrelationaltablemodel.html#details":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtsql/qsqlrelationaltablemodel.html#details

and qtcreator itself confirm the same stuff:

if i forget some details please let me know...
thanks for your help and time in advance.

Have you in *.pro file:
@
QT += widgets sql
@
?

You error messsage clearly indicates that QSqlRelationalDelegate is an unknow type, which is caused by a missing header file (although you obviously do not miss it).

It is actually quite easy to find out if the type is known, just place the cursor over QSqlRelationalDelegate and press F2 (Follow Symbol Under Cursor). If you can follow it (you will be taken to the class definition) it is known and I would suggest to rebuild your whole project. If you cannot there might be something wrong with your headers.

In this case, please post a small compilable example which reproduces your problem, so we can take a closer look at it.

Thanks for your help.

In Qt 5 we have a "new signal slot syntax":http://qt-project.org/wiki/New_Signal_Slot_Syntax. Rewrite connect().

Al79

Nice to know.
Thanks,
Al

Al79

Ok i tried and it works even with some problems...maybe it depends on connects I do not modified yet. I changed only the first connect(line 331) and now it compiles and runs properly.

Anyway I can't understand, from your link:

bq. "Qt5 will continue to support the old string-based syntax [doc.qt.nokia.com] for connecting signals and slots defined in a QObject or any class that inherits from QObject (including QWidget)"

If Qt5 support old connect, why I need to modify my (qt-4.8.X) working code?
At line 331 I'm connecting a QAction to a QMdiSubWindow and both come from QObject...

Thanks for support.

Hostel

Hmm strange. Maybe you forgot to include the QAction and QMdiSubWindow?

Al79

Yes. you was right.
Thanks for your precious support.
