    @saitej: you had an addDatamethod, so I suspect you would really add some data.
    @raven-worx: Ah, I see, then they probably emit the \*AboutToBe\* signals, as somehow, of course, the widget must know about these actions.

    Ya for adddata method I am already using the beginInsertRows :)

      This will probably result in calling the dataChanged() signal indirectly :-)

      actually no.
      The dataChanged() signal is for the case (surprise) when the data (of an existing item) has changed .
      The methods mentioned by you should be self-explanatory. So there is no dataChanged() signal necessary.

      Hi

      I didn't get you. If I need to change the existing data, how do i do it with out datachanged() signal

        yes, the QAbstractItemView of course does connect to those signals. If you have a custom object/widget, you would also need to connect to those signals.

          void QAbstractItemModel::dataChanged(const QModelIndex &topLeft, const QModelIndex &bottomRight, const QVector<int> &roles = QVector<int> ())
          

          Is this used to update the entire model or Can it be used to update a specific item in the listview? If It can be used to update a specific item then what are the arguments (instead of bootrom right)?

          Thanks!!

            if it's just a single cell, then topLeft and bottomRight are the same index.
            If you want to update the whole row, then topLeft is QModelIndex(row,0) and bottomRight is QModelIndex(row,colCount-1).
            Also it is possible to set topLeft to QModelIndex(0,0) and bottomRight to QModelIndex(rowCount-1,colCount-1) to update the whole table/list.

            Note that ranges are only supported when topLeft and bottomRight have the same parent index. So as long as you don't use your model in a treeview your are fine.

                Hi

                I am trying to connect a property change signal to datachanged signal through the following code.

                for(int i=0;i<model.rowCount();i++)
                    {
                         if(model.data(model.index(i),UAVDataModel::NameRole).toString() == "Initial Polygon Area" ){
                             connect(&av1,SIGNAL(initialPolygonAreaChanged(qreal)),&model,SIGNAL(dataChanged(model.index(i),model.index(i))));
                         }
                
                    }
                

                I am getting an error

                QObject::connect: No such signal DataModel::dataChanged(model.index(i),model.index(i))

                Note: I have not redeclared the signal in the model as it is inherited from QAbstractListModel

                  thats not how signal/slot connections work.
                  Rather you should connect the model's dataChanged() signal to a slot of yours, and in the slot check the passed index if it's the row/column you want.

                    I am not editing the data, it is only displaying data from a source. So connecting datachanged signal to a slot does not make sense.

                    we can use connect() to connect 2 signals right?

                      sorry but that doesn't make sense. I think you still don't understand the concept.
                      It doesn't matter if you edit the data or not.

                      The dataChanged() signal notifies the receiver (-> slot) that the data of the given index(es) has changed, and the data needs to be retrieved from the model again.

                        I got what datachanged signal does. I would like to explain my problem better. Sorry for the inconvenience.

                        For ex:
                        I have a signal initialPolygonAreaChanged(qreal) emitted when ever initialPolygonArea is changed . I know the index of initialPolygonArea in the model. I need to connect the initialPolygonAreaChanged(qreal) with datachanged() signal. Is this the right way?

                          so far so good. You can also emit the dataChanged() signal whenever you emit initialPolygonAreaChanged(), since you know the index. (If the initialPolygonAreaChanged() signal is defined in the model)

                              This is not a valid connect statement. You are not allowed/supposed to do do a connection with the values already specified.

                              You will have to do something like this:

                              connect(&av1,SIGNAL(initialPolygonAreaChanged(qreal)),&model,SIGNAL(onInitialPolygonAreaChanged(qreal));
                              

                              In your model's onInitialPolygonAreaChanged(qreal) slot you then emit the dataChanged() signal with the correct indexes.

                                @saitej said in Dynamic Upadate of data to a ListModel:

                                connect(&av1,SIGNAL(initialPolygonAreaChanged(qreal)),&model,SIGNAL(dataChanged(model.index(i),model.index(i))));

                                This is not a valid connect statement. You are not allowed/supposed to do do a connection with the values already specified.

                                You will have to do something like this:

                                connect(&av1,SIGNAL(initialPolygonAreaChanged(qreal)),&model,SIGNAL(onInitialPolygonAreaChanged(qreal));

                                Oh .. !! I had thought of this but since there were lot of variables I was trying for a different way. I will go ahead this way.
                                Thanks!!

                                  Mine is a list with a single column with three roles. I need to update only the value role , as suggested I am, emitting datachanged signal via

                                  void DataModel::onInitialPolygonAreaChanged(qreal ){
                                      //0 is the index of IPA
                                      qDebug() << "IPA from model" ;
                                     QVector<int> roleVector(ValueRole);
                                  
                                      emit dataChanged(index(0),index(0),roleVector);
                                  }
                                  

                                  This also does not update the model.

                                    The dataChanged() signal just informs (the view) about the change. So you need to trigger this signal after the data for this role has changed.
                                    Who exactly is using the ValueRole?

                                    Please show the code of your model.

                                        I have triggered it exactly when my data is being changed.

                                        but who reads the ValueRole?! The view doesn't, it uses the `Qt::DisplayRole' by default.

                                        Also posting the header file of your model implementation is almost as good as providing nothing ;)
