Unsolved Connect model to different views with different display roles
-
Hello,
I created my own class derived from QAbstractItemModel for displaying data in a tree view. Additionally I used a qsortfilterproxymodel for sorting and filtering. Now I want to display parts of the data in a comboBox as well, but the display role must be different, as I want to show something else there. The source model should be the same for both widgets but of course I can create a new proxy model just for the comboBox. Can I somehow tell the comboBox or the proxymodel, that it should take another user defined role for displaying the data? I have already overwritten the roleNames method of my proxymodel, but without success. I even do not know if this would be the right approach. Furthermore, I want to show in the comboBox all the data of the top level nodes, but also of the children of the top level nodes (not the children of the children...). How to achieve that? The question is more general and therefore I do not think that it is necessary to post my code here. I would be very happy to get some hints.
Thanks a lot.

subclass QIdentityProxyModel
Then you can add a property to your custom proxymodel subclass to tell which Role to use instead of the source model's Qt::DisplayRole -

Thanks for the fast reply. I think that helps already. Will try and let you know.Daniel

You'll then have to call
QCombobox::setView
to set a treeview.
If, instead, you want the 1st generation child to be displayed in a list at the same level as top level items just put a KDescendantsProxyModel inbetween -

Hey,
thanks a lot. Using another displayRole in the combo is working fine. However I am still stucking with the data of the top level's children. Since I am using PyQt, I think I cannot use KDE. The last update of PyKDE was in 2013 and I do not find an appropriate wheel for installation. Is there another way with pure Qt (PyQt) components?
Thanks
Daniel
