XML Data into QTableView: Some Problems: Empty Table, Messed up Header Data etc.

MeerMusik

Alright.

When I try:

if(xmlReader.name() == "Stadt")
{
//New Part - Start
QString lolopolo;
lolopolo = xmlReader.readElementText();
QMessageBox::information(this, "Teste Abfrage Stadt:", lolopolo);
//New Part - End

modelForTableViewMainView->insertColumn(modelForTableViewMainView->columnCount());
modelForTableViewMainView->setData(modelForTableViewMainView->index(modelForTableViewMainView->columnCount(),0), xmlReader.readElementText());
}

The QMessageBox shows the correct Element Text.
But I am stuck right now, how to put the read Element Text into the QTable.

I think, I try to play around with reading the Database File to a QStringList and put everything from there into the TableView. Not sure if this will work.

Any Hint(s) where I did a fatal Error, would be appreciated :)

Hi,

You are trying to access an index that doesn't exist. Indexes goes from 0 to columnCount() - 1 (same rule applies for rows)

MeerMusik

@SGaist
Ouch. I thought by using it this way, I set up a new Index. sigh
And what is the correct way? The QXmlStreamReader should be fine for this. Or not?

SGaist

It won't because you are asking an index for a column that doesn't exist. Just call the function with the correct value for column and you'll be fine. No problem with the use of QXmlStreamReader

Oh my. My schizophrenic Brain make such easy things some times really hard. C++ is absolutely different than Delphi.
With the following code, it finally reads the first Entry in the XML File:

if(xmlReader.name() == "Stadt")
{
    QString setItemTestCity;
    setItemTestCity = xmlReader.readElementText();

    xmlReader.readElementText();
    QMessageBox::information(this, "Teste Abfrage Stadt:", setItemTestCity);
    modelForTableViewMainView->setItem(0,0, new QStandardItem(setItemTestCity));
}

Next step: Pull more than 1 "Stadt" Entry from the XML File.

Thanks :)

You old technique, basically, was good, it was just missing the -1 to get the last available column

MeerMusik

@SGaist The problem was, I was too dumb to see where to put the "-1". :(

Now I must find a way to read not only 1 but all "Stadt" Elements.

SGaist

Follow the XBel example, it should give you what you need

MeerMusik

@SGaist Thanks for the hint. I will take a look at it - tomorrow. Good night. And thanks for being continuously helpful and patient :) I am sure I will be back.

Hello.

I decided to try my Luck for one more time without the XBEL Example. The following Code (Snippet) puts the Data from the XML File in the QTableView:

if(xmlReader.name() == "Stadt")
{
QString setItemTestStadt;
setItemTestStadt = xmlReader.readElementText();

int row = tableViewMainViewIndex.row();
int column = tableViewMainViewIndex.column();
row = 0;
column = 0;

QStandardItem *item = new QStandardItem(QString(setItemTestStadt));
modelForTableViewMainView->insertRow(xmlReader.readElementText().count());
modelForTableViewMainView->setData(modelForTableViewMainView->index(row,column,tableViewMainViewIndex), xmlReader.readElementText());
modelForTableViewMainView->setItem(row, column, item);
}

Cant believe that I have been so close for 2 weeks. //Facepalm

<s>Next "Problem" that I have: The Header Labels are correctly resized to fit their Content. But the Items Text is not. Already looked through the Web and through the Forum. Do I really have to subClass $Something?

Currently I try the following Settings:

tableViewMainView->setVisible(false);
QRect originalViewport = tableViewMainView->viewport()->geometry();
QRect newViewport = originalViewport;
newViewport.setWidth(std::numeric_limits<int>::max());
 tableViewMainView->viewport()->setGeometry(newViewport);
 tableViewMainView->resizeRowsToContents();
 tableViewMainView->resizeColumnsToContents();
 tableViewMainView->viewport()->setGeometry(originalViewport);
 tableViewMainView->horizontalHeader()->resizeSections(QHeaderView::ResizeToContents);
 tableViewMainView->verticalHeader()->resizeSections(QHeaderView::ResizeToContents);

//And after reading the Data into the TableView
tableViewMainView->setVisible(true);
```</s>
EDIT: Never  mind. I forgot that that I must call resetColumnsToContents each time I update the TableView.

Thanks again :)

Morning Folks.

A new Question:

I have different Views where the different Data from the XML File get split. 1 thing I will try is:
When

Row 0 in tableViewMainView is active / selected, then select
all Items in Row 0 in tableViewAdditionalInfo

I tried different things but no luck yet.

//Not sure which Slot to use. Or if any of those SLOTs are even correct.
connect(tableViewMainView,SIGNAL(pressed(QModelIndex)),this,SLOT(selectCurrentRowDependingOnTableViewMainView()));
//What I try right now:
tableViewMainView->setSelectionBehavior(QAbstractItemView::SelectRows);
tableViewAdditionalInfo->setSelectionBehavior(QAbstractItemView::SelectRows);

int selectedRow;
selectedRow = tableViewMainView->rowAt(tableViewMainViewIndex.row());
tableViewMainView->rowAt(tableViewMainViewIndex.row());

tableViewAdditionalInfo->selectRow(selectedRow);

Thanks

And another Problem.
I want to display the Text of the XML Element "Name" in 2 different Views. But the Rows 0 + Column + of the 2nd View stay empty:

if(xmlReader.name() == "Name")
{
//Set the Name in first View:
QString setItemName;
setItemName = xmlReader.readElementText();
int row1 = tableViewMainViewIndex.row();
int column1 = tableViewMainViewIndex.column();
row1 = 0;
column1 = 3;
QStandardItem *item = new QStandardItem(QString(setItemName));
modelForTableViewMainView->insertRows(modelForTableViewMainView->rowCount(),  xmlReader.readElementText().count(), tableViewMainViewIndex);
modelForTableViewMainView->setData(modelForTableViewMainView->index(row1,column1,tableViewMainViewIndex), xmlReader.readElementText());
modelForTableViewMainView->setItem(row1, column1, item);
if(xmlReader.readElementText().isEmpty())
{
xmlReader.readNext();
}

//Set the Name in the 2nd View:
QString setItemName2;
setItemName2 = xmlReader.readElementText();
int row2 = tableViewAdditionalInfoIndex.row();
int column2 = tableViewAdditionalInfoIndex.column();
row2 = 0;
column2 = 0;
QStandardItem *item2 = new QStandardItem(QString(setItemName2));
modelForTableViewAdditionalInfo->insertRow(xmlReader.readElementText().count(), tableViewAdditionalInfoIndex);
                 modelForTableViewAdditionalInfo->setData(modelForTableViewAdditionalInfo->index(row2,column2,tableViewAdditionalInfoIndex), xmlReader.readElementText());
modelForTableViewAdditionalInfo->setItem(row2, column2, item2);
if(xmlReader.readElementText().isEmpty())
{
xmlReader.readNext();
}
}

I am not sure whats wrong. Even calling the "xmlReader.name() == "Name" at a later point , let the cells stay empty.
++++
EDIT: I finally found a workaround:

//Instead of:
QStandardItem *item2 = new QStandardItem(QString(setItemName2));
//I do:
QStandardItem *item2 = new QStandardItem(modelForTableViewMainView->item(0,3)->text());

But I still have the Problem mentioned 2 posts above: How can I select 2 Rows in different Views simultaneously?

Any hint is welcome :)

You can use the first view selectionChanged signal and then the second view selection model to do what you want.

Morning.

I connected the tableViewMainView:

connect(tableViewMainView->selectionModel(),SIGNAL(selectionChanged(QItemSelection,QItemSelection)),this,SLOT(selectCurrentRowDependingOnTableViewMainView()));

I try to scrollTo() by using the following Method:

void CDatabase::selectCurrentRowDependingOnTableViewMainView()
{
QPoint pos;
int row=tableViewMainView->rowAt(pos.y());
int column=tableViewMainView->columnAt(pos.x());
if(modelForTableViewMainView->item(row,column)->isSelectable())
{
QModelIndex selectedRow1Index=modelForTableViewMainView->index(row,column);
tableViewAdditionalInfo->scrollTo(selectedRow1Index,QAbstractItemView::EnsureVisible);
}
}

I get no Error Messages but it still does not work as intended.

SGaist

Should the items rows/cols from the second view be the same has the one from the main view ?

MeerMusik

Evening.
What I want is:

If I select any Column in Row 0 in Table 1 = select Row 0 in Table 2
If I select any Column in Row 5 in Table 1 = select Row 5 in Table 2
etc. etc.

SGaist

In that case, use the QItemSelection parameters from the selectionChanged signal to retrieve these rows you want to select
