Converting c++ class to python class

Panoss

This is what I finally did, I made my class inherit QAbstractProxyModel.

Now, another part of the class' code.
How do I 'translate' this:

QModelIndex EPNCComboModel::mapFromSource(const QModelIndex & sourceIndex) const

to python?

The hard part for me is this: QModelIndex & sourceIndex
Maybe in python becomes??:

sourceIndex

SGaist

It's then just

mapped = model.mapFromSource(sourceIndex)

[edit: Fixed variable name SGaist]

Hi SGaist.
what is map.p?

I think the correct code is:

def mapToSource(self, proxyIndex):

It seems to work. ('self' is like 'this' in C++. It's used (in a class' function) in order to refer to the class)

SGaist

That was a typo.

Indeed the python function signature is def mapToSource(self, proxyIndex):.

How about this?
This is from optiongroup.h file:

class OptionGroup : public QWidget
{
Q_OBJECT
Q_PROPERTY(int currentSelection READ currentSelection WRITE setCurrentSelection USER true)

This is from optiongroup.cpp file:

OptionGroup::OptionGroup(QWidget *parent) :QWidget(parent), currentSelection_(-1)
{
}

How can I convert it to python?

Panoss

How does this look? Am I on the right way?

class OptionGroup(QtGui.QWidget) :
    def __init__(self, parent):
        super(OptionGroup, self).__init__(parent)
        self.currentSelection_ = -1
        self.currentSelection = pyqtProperty(int, self.getCurrentSelection, self.setCurrentSelection)

So this:

Q_PROPERTY(int currentSelection READ currentSelection WRITE setCurrentSelection USER true)

equals to this?

self.currentSelection = pyqtProperty(int, self.getCurrentSelection, self.setCurrentSelection)

You have an example in the PyQt5 documentation.

Panoss

The instances of this class are mapped to a QWidgetDataMapper.
The problem is that it seems that they don't 'bind' to the QWidgetDataMapper.

In the C++ class, I think, that this job does this line:

OptionGroup::OptionGroup(QWidget *parent) :QWidget(parent), currentSelection_(-1)

I think it means: 'set property for mapping the property named "currentSelection_" '.

So I think (again :) ) that my problem is that I can't do the same in Python.

SGaist

You have to mark the property as USER like explained in the QDataWidgetMapper documentation.

Panoss

I changed this line from:

currentSelection = pyqtProperty(int, currentSelection, setCurrentSelection)

...to:

currentSelection = pyqtProperty(int, currentSelection, setCurrentSelection, user = True)

and it works! I can't believe I was struggling for so many days for 2 f***ng words!

SGaist you can't imagine how much you helped me. THANK YOU!
