[Solved] Showing QMenu in QListView

poor_robert

Hello All Qt developers!,

I've been recently working on widget which presents some items inside QListView widget. Let's say it presents some files from a disk directory. I'm using subclassed and customized QAbstractItemModel to hold data and this works fine. The problem I've be facing is with showing QMenu. I created QMenu and I set contextMenuPolicy to: Qt::CustomContextMenu. So far everything is ok, because parent widget emits QWidget::customContextMenuRequested ( const QPoint & pos ) signal. This works as long as I use mouse (right mouse button - standard Qt solution). The problem appears when I want to show QMenu with "menu" button (application is being developed for embedded system device, which won't have a mouse, but will have "menu" button). I call QMenu::exec() and QMenu appears but at top left corner at QPoint(0,0).

What I want to achieve is to find out/gather the QPoint for every item that is shown by QListView and with this point show QMenu next to item's name or icon. Do You have any idea how can I get this point from QListView or even more generally from QAbstractItemView classes?

I figured out solution with method:
@QModelIndex QAbstractItemView::indexAt ( const QPoint & point )@

I simply recieved current selected item with: currentIndex() method and then I compared this item with item returned by indexAt(...) method. It's not very elegant, so maybe You know any other simple way?

Hi,

might
@
QAbstractItemView::visualRect ( const QModelIndex & index ) const
@

be of any use for you? This seems to return the bounding rect of the index, so you could choose a good popup position from it.

Thank You very much!

I have no idea how I missed this in documentation.

Solved!
