      @SGaist so what I need to do for the correct changing values in my tableview?
      Where I need to write the QHash function?

        Either in your QStyledItemDelegate or as @mrjj suggested pass it to the delegate e.g. at construction time.

            In your QStyledItemDelegate, read your file and build the hash with its content. Then in your displayText reimplementation return _hash.value(value.toInt(), tr("Not found"));

              hi
              Starting with models and view are not best intro to Qt.
              They are very powerful but does demand some c++ skills and reading the docs.

              Sometimes code is easier to understand so I made u sample with @SGaist help.

              It has a list of names and if it sees Lars, it replaced it with BANNED.
              For your code, you will use the hash to look up the name from the code.

              https://www.dropbox.com/s/vsiqjrr41jhafqo/myfirstview.zip?dl=0

              the key points to understand is:
              we make a new class to override the default behaviour

              class MyDelegate : public QStyledItemDelegate {
              public:
              MyDelegate(QObject* parent)
              : QStyledItemDelegate(parent) {}
              virtual QString displayText(const QVariant& value, const QLocale& locale) const;
              };

              We set this delegate ONLY to the column we need.

              • ui->tableView->setItemDelegateForColumn(0, new MyDelegate(this));

              the displayText is the key function.:

              QString MyDelegate::displayText(const QVariant& value, const QLocale& locale) const {
              if (value.toString().compare("Lars") == 0) // if found
              return "BANNED";
              else
              return value.toString(); // else just return data unchanged
              }

              Here u will replace the city-code with names using the hash.

              Hope this helps you.

                @mrjj ohhh thank you! It works!! Thank you very much.

                But I have 40 values that I will need to change(if it will be in quiery result).

                1. I can't write 40 "else if".. "else if"... "else if".... That's unlogic.
                2. I need to write all that values in support *.txt file(or another, the main is a simple format for editing), cause if I will write all that values in the program and then I will need to add new values...That's will be very uncomfortable.

                I see the method of the working the function so:
                The function is searching the values(from *.txt file) that has a quiery result. If it will find, then it will change to another every value.

                But...how make that in reality?

                  hi
                  it sounds like your best way would to read in
                  the text file to a hash.
                  and use that hash in displayText
                  I agree, using if for 40 values would be nasty :)

                  How does your text file look like?

                    @mrjj I didn't create that file, cause I have no idea. Well, every variant will be good. The main is the working code :D

                    Do you think that *.txt file should looks so:

                    hash.insert("123", "Jack Sparrow");
                    hash.insert("134", "Elvis Presley");
                    hash.insert("201", "Walter White");
                    ........
                    

                    ?

                      Hi
                      For me it sounds like you would have a text file with
                      1000, NAME1
                      1001, NAME2

                      so when u see int 1000, u want "NAME" etc.

                      So your task is to look at QFile and read in a text file with your format and stuff it into a hash.
                      Then use it.

                        @mrjj ok, I understand how to read the file and search the values. I don't understand another thing.
                        On example=, the function will read the .txt file and it will find some value. Let it be 2900.
                        In txt file it will be looking:
                        2900, "Jackson"

                        How to convert to "Jackson"? I don't know how to write that in a hash. How the hash will look the "convert value"?

                          @ro12man3
                          say
                          u define the hash like
                          QHash<int, QString> Hash;
                          it means we use int as key and get string as result
                          so
                          QString Name=hash[2900];
                          would give us "Jackson" in name;

                          please read doc on how it works.
                          http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qhash.html

                          so you would read all lines from text file and insert into hash.

                            @mrjj woooow thank you! You are the master! :) I understand, very clever idea!

                            I will try that in the morning.

                              well for 40 lookups its more fun that tons of ifs
                              if u make a text file with
                              ID, NAME
                              like
                              1000, TOWN
                              1001, TOWN2
                              1002, TOWN3

                              so u need to ( code handwritten fast, not tested. u need to add includes)

                              QFile file("c:/mynames.txt");

                                well for 40 lookups its more fun that tons of ifs
                                if u make a text file with
                                ID, NAME
                                like
                                1000, TOWN
                                1001, TOWN2
                                1002, TOWN3

                                so u need to ( code handwritten fast, not tested. u need to add includes)

                                QFile file("c:/mynames.txt");
                                if(!file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly)) {
                                QMessageBox::information(0, "error", file.errorString());
                                }

                                QTextStream in(&file);
                                while(!in.atEnd()) {
                                QString line = in.readLine(); // get a line from file
                                QStringList fields = line.split(","); <<< KEY point. we ask it to split the text at "," to a list
                                /// now fields[0] is first part and fields[1] is rest
                                // so
                                hash[fields[0].toInt()] = fields[1] ; // store name under key
                                }

                                file.close();

                                  You are very welcome.
                                  One note is that if u read in text lines then
                                  it will be text so u need to convert to int for the key if you
                                  define the hash like that.
                                  QHash<int, QString> Hash;
                                  something like
                                  hash[ fields[0].toInt() ]=xxx
                                  If it gives u grief , let me know as im not 100% sure of syntax as its free writing :)

                                    @mrjj Well, I can extract the second field, but it will be all second fields.

                                    And I have edited the code:

                                    QString MyDelegate::displayText(const QVariant& value, const QLocale& locale) const {
                                           QString line;
                                            QFile file("C:/QT/Test text/1.txt");
                                            if(!file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly))
                                                   qDebug() << "Error opening file";
                                            QTextStream in(&file);
                                    
                                            QHash<int, QString> hash;
                                    
                                             while(!in.atEnd()) {
                                             QString line = in.readLine(); 
                                             QStringList fields = line.split(","); 
                                             hash[fields[0].toInt()] = fields[1] ; 
                                      if (value.toString().compare(fields[0]) == 0)
                                        return fields[1];
                                      else
                                        return value.toString(); 
                                    }
                                    }
                                    

                                    And it doesn't work. How to solve that?
                                    It was working when I wrote

                                     if (value.toString().compare("1000") == 0)
                                        return "Jackson";
                                    

                                    If I write

                                    QMessageBox::information(this, fields[0], fields[1] );
                                    

                                    it is working, but it shows ALL values.

                                      • You really have to provide more info that that :)
                                        if you insert qDebug() << "f1=" << fields[0] << "f2=" << fields[1];
                                        does it read in the data correctly ? this is critical.

                                      • Also you build the hash
                                        hash[fields[0].toInt()] = fields[1] ;
                                        but don't use it. ? You dont use it to look up the text.
                                        QString CityName = hash[value.toInt()];
                                        return CityName;

                                      • Also you mix reading in the file with compare value. that is wrong.
                                        You should not read it in displayText as it will then read file each time
                                        it draw that column. that is not so good.
                                        Make Hash a member of the class. (in .h) and just use it
                                        in displayText. then u can read it once and use it over and over.

                                      • Read in the text file in the constructor of the delegate;

                                          Yes, I can extract this values. I tested that in QMessageBox.

                                          It's not very difficult code structure, I don't know why it's not working.
